A Grahampoon Production

What Is This?

LampyQuest is a simple, self-paced treasure hunt that runs during the Harvard Lampoon's Sesquicentennial weekend, April 24–26, 2026. If you've ever done an escape room, finished a Monday crossword, or just enjoy a good word game, this is right up your alley.

You'll travel to a few places around Harvard (about 1.5 miles of walking, all told), solve some very easy puzzles — well, easy if you have any memory of your undergrad days — and kill some time during the boring events while waiting for the parties.

The whole thing takes about two hours, but you can stop and resume whenever you want. Solo or in groups of 2–4. At your own pace. Finish by Sunday at noon.
