	portico: Remove mystery hunt landing page.
This was written by Rishi for a very brief purpose a few years ago, and it doesn't serve much purpose now other than to be a place we update in code sweeps.

Zulip was started in 2012 by four SIPB alums. We think it’s the best team
 | 
			
		||||
chat tool for mystery hunt teams.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**How is this different from Slack?**
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
In Slack, IRC, and nearly every other team chat application, users subscribe
 | 
			
		||||
to chat rooms (“channels”), and get all the messages sent to each channel in
 | 
			
		||||
a chronological dump. The model is largely designed to support real-time
 | 
			
		||||
conversation, where it’s easy to participate if you’re online, but not easy
 | 
			
		||||
to come back a few hours later and reply to a conversation that started
 | 
			
		||||
while you were gone.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
In Zulip, there is an additional layer of organization in each channel:
 | 
			
		||||
messages have topics (like “puzzle: duck konundrum”), so it is easy to
 | 
			
		||||
follow conversational threads. It also makes it easy for someone to come
 | 
			
		||||
back after 8 hours (okay, 4 hours) of sleep, catch up on the state of
 | 
			
		||||
various puzzles, and answer questions even if a question was asked many
 | 
			
		||||
hours ago.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**You have to write a topic for every message you send? Sounds like a bit much…**
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Nope! Just the first person writing a message to a given topic has to write
 | 
			
		||||
it out. Replies to that message are automatically grouped in the way you’d
 | 
			
		||||
expect. Sending a message in Zulip feels just as lightweight as sending a
 | 
			
		||||
message in SMS, Google Hangouts, or Slack.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**Is it free?**
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Yes! We provide free hosting for all MIT mystery hunt teams, student groups,
 | 
			
		||||
and research groups.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Besides being easy on the wallet, Zulip is also free (open source)
 | 
			
		||||
software. We make it easy to export your data from [Zulip
 | 
			
		||||
Cloud](https://zulip.com) and import it into a self-hosted
 | 
			
		||||
installation.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**Can I integrate Zulip with my current puzzlehunting software?**
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Yup. Zulip has a well thought out [API](/api/), and
 | 
			
		||||
it’s easy to write bots that send things into or out of Zulip.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**Where can I test it out?**
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
[Click here](https://zulip.com/new) to create an organization; it
 | 
			
		||||
only takes only about 30 seconds. If you decide to continue using it, just email
 | 
			
		||||
support@zulip.com to tell us you’re a mystery hunt team.
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
**Where do I go for further information?**
 | 
			
		||||
 | 
			
		||||
Come find us on the [Zulip community chat](https://chat.zulip.org). Feel
 | 
			
		||||
free to post in
 | 
			
		||||
[#mystery hunt](https://chat.zulip.org/#narrow/stream/mystery.20hunt) or
 | 
			
		||||
anywhere else that seems appropriate.
