It's a puzzle and a personal time capsule in one.   AI-Powered ### AI Asks the Right Questions Don't know which numbers to use? The AI Wizard asks occasion-specific questions like _"In what year did you get married?"_ or _"What was your child's birth weight?"_ — you fill in the answers, and it builds your puzzle. Choose the difficulty, the story language, and let the AI handle the rest.

(https://puzzlebuilder.co/start/) FAQ ### Frequently Asked Questions Is the Number Hunt generator free?   Yes. You can create Number Hunt puzzles and preview them on the free plan. Paid packages (starting at $7.99, one-time) unlock high-resolution downloads and online publishing with scoring and leaderboard. What kind of numbers can I hide?   Any numbers from 3 to 8 digits long. Years (2014), dates without separators (07042018), weights (37), distances (5280), prices (1299) — if it's meaningful and fits in 3 to 8 digits, it works. Decimal points and dashes are not part of the hidden number, but you can include them in the story text. Do I have to add a story to every number?   Stories are optional but highly recommended — they're what makes Number Hunt different. Without stories, it's just a hunt for digits. With stories, every number becomes a memory: _2014 — The year we met_. The stories appear in the answer key on the printed version, and on the reveal screen after solving online. Can guests play the Number Hunt on their phones?   Yes. Publish your Number Hunt and share the link or QR code. Guests swipe to find each number on their screen. A live leaderboard tracks who finds them all fastest, and the stories behind each number are revealed when the puzzle is complete — no app download needed. What languages are supported?   The numbers themselves are universal, but the stories beside them can be written in eight languages: English, Spanish, German, French, Italian, Turkish, Dutch, and Portuguese. The AI Wizard generates story text in your chosen language, and the puzzle labels (Number List, Find These Numbers) automatically match it. What if some numbers don't fit in the grid?   Enable the "Try until all numbers fit" option and the builder will keep attempting different arrangements (up to 10 seconds) to place every number. If one or two still won't fit, you'll get a clear message suggesting you increase the grid size or shorten the longest numbers. You can also use Shuffle Layout to try a fresh arrangement without changing your design. How is Number Hunt different from Word Search?   Both hide things in a grid for guests to find. The difference: Word Search hides words you choose, while Number Hunt hides numbers that mean something to you — and lets you add a story behind each one. After guests solve the Number Hunt, the stories are revealed, turning the puzzle into a memory book. Word Search is great for any occasion; Number Hunt shines when the numbers themselves tell a story.
