The 20th annual Herald Hunt kicked off from Miami’s Peacock Park with hundreds of Hunt contestants chasing clues throughout Coconut Grove.
Contestants filed out of the park in teams shortly after noon, with maps in hand, and they huddled around brain-twisting puzzles such as the "Cha Cha Cha to the Caribbean," a small stage where two Carnival performers danced a series of steps that provide clues to help solve the Hunt.
The performers presented four different dance steps - motivate, loco, doe and wind - to the tune of Gangnam Style.
Hunt players then listed the steps in the order the were presented, and that led them to a clue on a map, which in turn led them to a riddle, which they must solve to advance.
Sound like masochistic fun?
Jeff Sandler of Plantation and Ron Coapstick of Fort Lauderdale thought so.
They solved the dance steps clue in seconds.
The goal is to solve five clues, then gather at the Hunt’s main stage at 3 p.m. for the final clue, or the end game.
"It’s just a challenge," said Sandler, who is participating in his fifth Herald Hunt. "The puns are annoyingly fun."
Grand prize for all the mind-bending fun: a cruise on the new Carnival Breeze.
