LampyQuest is a simple, self-paced treasure hunt that runs during the Harvard Lampoon's 150th Anniversary 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 three hours, but you can stop and resume whenever you want. Solo or in groups. At your own pace. Finish by Sunday at noon.
Please do these two things in advance. The Yard's Wi-Fi is a cruel joke played on tourists, and you do not want to be fumbling with the App Store while your classmates sprint ahead of you.
LampyQuest runs inside an app called ClueKeeper. It's free.
Open the app and set up a free account with your email. Everyone who wants to be eligible for a prize needs their own account — even if you're planning to team up with your friends.
Stop by the registration desk in the tent. They'll give you:
