letterboxing puzzle hunt

For those not on AQ or otherwise unaware and like this sort of
thing, I've created a letterboxing puzzle hunt in SE PA. Kinda
like the "Eevil" game on AQ 1 or 2 years ago, but just around here.
That said, many puzzles are solvable indoors, including some of
the outdoor ones, but eventually you have to find letterboxes and
other stuff. A team with one local member is prolly the best
approach.
It sort of represents where I had hoped letterboxing would have
evolved to when I started out way back when. So, FWIW --

Its the "Maze of Doors" game. There is a box on AQ for it, but if
you are like me and don't care about logging, that shouldn't matter.
Cheers
Randy

It looks interesting but I'm confused. You have a list of items, do they all relate to each other? Is there one word I'm trying to guess per page?

Thanks for the "heads up"! Since we'll be out that way this summer, we'll take a look at it to see if we can figure anything out...

Its one word or phrase per answer widget. If you are correct, you may unlock other pages. In the simplest case, you unlock that door, and move further along in the maze and hopefully find cool stuff, like letterbox clues.

In retrospect, I think I misunderstood your question, and didn't answer it right. In general, each page of content is a puzzle, and the answer to that puzzle is the answer. You don't enter answers to elements on that page individually. How the puzzle works or what sort of puzzle it is is sometimes something you have to figure out. That said, help from other pages may be necessary to figure out some puzzles. There is a very easy one early in the game that should help people sort out how it all works. Its just not the first one.
