This is a puzzle hunt that some friends and I made for a class we took. Created in April of 2020, it concerns the main thing that happened in April of 2020. To wit:

You were having a wonderful time in Europe, enjoying your nice rest after a long day of sightseeing, when all of a sudden, you received a ton of calls from your family. It turns out travel to and from Europe was banned… Well, now you must rush home at 3 A.M. before it’s too late.

Memories Are Tmporary

 Unfortunately, the second half of this puzzle relies on you having access to RIT's CS lab servers, which is probably not the case, statistically speaking. Also, it relies on some files I put in the temp directories on those servers still being there, which is also unlikely. So, even though it was the coolest part of the puzzle, you'll have to skip it. Once you've solved the crossword, you can find the rest of the puzzle here (1)(2)(3)(4)(5).

Bonus Puzzle

 This doesn't factor into the meta puzzle at all. Just another puzzle we thought of at the last minute, and, well, we couldn't help ourselves.
