       -- Make your team more visitor-friendly. Have a "reception area" 
where
   you can entertain visitors without revealing answers. (I visited ACRONYM
   last year and they basically had such a setup.)

Pturnips also had a "social room", where we kept most of our
food, and which (usually) contained no puzzles, so people
from other teams could come visit. This wasn't used as much
as it might have been, and I didn't visit ACRONYM's social
room, for the same reason; lack of publicity.  So it would
be good if teams that had a social room had some easy way to
publicize this to the rest of the hunt.

In addition, would it make sense to have a hunt-wide "social
room", presumably reserved by Kappa Sig, and near their headquarters?
Any hunters who feel like taking a break and socializing
with people from other teams could go to the social room whenever
they felt like it. I'd certainly contribute a couple of pizzas
towards making this idea work.
