No clue why I’m feeling the need to reply, but this made me remember that that was one of the first games I have a memory of. I forget how old I was, but my brother and I called it “Humpus Wumpus” just because we didn’t know any better.
Whoooooah: doing historical research today & found out Gregory Yob, creator of Hunt the Wumpus, was living in Santa Cruz when he died in 2005. Upon further digging found his old address: it's less than 600 feet from where I live now.

I think you’re close to his papers, too (Stanford I think?)

Did you find out that his head is cryogenically preserved in New Mexico?

Sorry, Arizona. 'Gregory Yob, also known as Hara Ra, had changed his name to Gregory H. Coresun shortly before he died in Scottsdale, Arizona, where he underwent neurosuspension at the Alcor Life Extension Foundation.'
