World Finals History

For more than 40 years, World Finals has been the culmination of a year’s worth of hard work for the millions of students across the world who have participated in Odyssey of the Mind. Here you can explore some of that history by browsing through photo galleries featuring team performances, ceremonies, and sights around town, or look through past performance scores to revisit that time your team made it all the way to World Finals. If you’re looking for past problems and World Finals locations you can find them here.
