Show HN: A Cryptic Hunt Website
Hi HN!, We're a group of High Schooler's who have made a website for an international cryptic hunt we have been organizing.
Everything has been built from the ground up and has been open sourced. We'd love feedback on our work.
And if it interests you, feel free to register and try a level or two!

We're particularly proud of our frontend, since we have used a framework we built ourselves!

However, I would have had to take time off work and get myself to a Google office in another state for the interview, and even if I got a job offer (hardly guaranteed) I'd have to move.
I was pretty pretty pissed off, it felt like a complete bait-and-switch.
I mean, if you're going to the trouble of setting up an elaborate puzzle gauntlet as a recruiting tool, shouldn't you at least pay for travel and lodging to get to the in-person interview?
Not to mention that, as I found out later, my lack of a degree would have disqualified me from receiving an offer.
