Bloomberg Bpuzzled Puzzle Competition
[CompSoc X Freud picture]
Bpuzzled is a 3 hour long competition created by Bloomberg engineers. Teams use problem solving, creative thinking, and teamwork to solve challenging and intricate puzzles that are logical in nature, similar to those found in escape rooms. Each puzzle is themed to a location of a Bloomberg office from around the world; players race from place to place and finally arrive at the final puzzle: New York or London! Top prizes are up for grabs! Join as teams of 3-4, or find a team at the event.
When: Tuesday, 31 January 06.00pm - 09:30pm
Where: Lecture Hall L2, Maths Institute Andrew Wiles Building, Woodstock Rd, Oxford OX2 6GG
