If we can get just 52 major universities to each run one puzzlehunt per year, then none of us never need to sleep on weekends ever again.
I believe only a minority of people are willing to travel for ANY kind of event--puzzle hunts, concerts, plays, other live performances. (Specific evidence: players wait-listed for DASH in SF who did not want to drive down to Palo Alto to play.)
This is why bands go on tour. You might get a few "Deadheads" following hunts all over the place, but most people want to go to events near where they live.
