The Hincksville Film Fest looks like the place to START.
Each clock, read clockwise starting at a random letter, matches a movie description.
Movie description 1: MICROBREWING
Movie description 2: FILIBUSTERS.
Movie description 3: MOUNTAINSIDE
Movie description 4: TREECREEPERS
Movie description 5: LIGHTHEARTED
Each showtime will give two letters. The bottom right-hand corner of the paper notes that the hour hand will never sit between letters.
The theater number tells the position of each set of two letters within the sentence being created.
MICROBREWING:
9:50- WI, 5:05- OM, 4:40- RE
FILIBUSTERS.:
9:00- FI, 9:30- FR, 3:15- S
MOUNTAINSIDE
10:25- ND, 2:50- NN, 11:30- TE, 11:00- TA
TREECREEPERS
10:40- RS, 3:10- ER, 10:40- RS, 11:45- ET
LIGHTHEARTED
9:20- IR, 5:05- EH, 3:40- AL, 7:40- DL
Put in order from 1-18, these sets of letters create: FIRST AND THIRD LETTERS FROM REAL WINNERS.
There’s a lot of winning happening in the Vampire, Roach, Garlic Bread section, but who are the real winners?
Solve the competition bracket to know which teams are in the starred slots, as, per the subheading, they are the real winners.
Remember that the first rule in the list that applies to that match is the only rule that applies.
Round 1 winners: Flying Squirrels, 2. Angry Hornets, 3. Acrobats, 4. Whipper Snappers, 5. Hawks, 6. Pterodactyls, 7. Storm, 8. Pros
Round 2 winners: 1. Angry Hornets, 2. Acrobats, 3. Pterodactyls, 4. Pros
Round 3 winners: 1. Angry Hornets, 2. Pros
Round 4 winners: 1. Pros
Take the first and third letters of the team names with stars next to them, in order of the amount of stars.
One star = Pros = PO
Two stars = Puzzlin’ People = PZ
Three stars = STORM = SO
Four stars = Whipper Snappers = WI
Five stars = Pterodactyls = PE
Six stars = Blue Aliens = BU
Seven Stars = Angry Hornets = AG
Eight stars = Flying Squirrels = FY
These pairs of letters match pairs of letters in another section of the paper.
The character names in the Mystery Dinner match the letters from the bracket winners.
The author of the mystery dinner is asking that you learn "every last word of your line."
The keys that were swapped on the typewriter are "E" "T" and "O". Whenever you see the symbols below, replace them with the correct letter to get the real line of dialogue.
< = E
# = T
8 = O
PO = Pamala Oswald = FOLLOW
PZ = Pablo Zapata = REARRANGED
SO = Selma Ortega = SYSTEM
WI = Wilhelm Indigo = THROUGH
PE = Peter Ericsson = EXHIBITS
BU = Beau Underhill = GATHERING
AG = Alanna Grey = FIRST
FY = Finn Young = THREE
FOLLOW REARRANGED SYSTEM THROUGH EXHIBITS GATHERING FIRST THREE
The new library system seems a bit jumbled.
Put the new library system steps in order and utilize with the museum exhibits.
Start rearranging the steps of the new system by figuring out what you should do "first."
First, you need to know the full name of the book that you’re wanting to look up.
Write that name on a slip of paper
Once you have the name, take the paper to the royal librarian.
The librarian will look at you with disdain. Offer up a gift of a shiny apple.
If the librarian is pleased with your present, they will rip up your paper and provide a riddle.
DON’T WRITE THE RIDDLE DOWN! It’s cheating and you’ll have to start over.
Once you solve the riddle, burn what’s left of the paper so your steps can’t be traced.
Now that you’ve thrown off you would-be pursers visit the desk o’ books.
All the books are on that desk. Pick the one that looks the most interesting.
No, not that one, it looks too boring.
Pick another and look at the map on page 7 of your more interesting book.
Use your birthday as coordinates to find a location on the map.
Travel to that specific location you found. Preferably by blimp.
Finally, dig a hole. If you are worthy, the book will be there.
Use the newly rearranged library system steps to navigate the pop-up museum steps.
Start at the entrance. The first thing we need is to know a full name. Step into the “Stephen P. Hincks: A Story” exhibit.
Next we need to write the name on a slip of paper. A nearby exhibit could help us obtain paper.
Step into the “A Long History of Stationary” exhibit. Next, we need to see a royal. Step into the “Nefertiti’s Egypt” exhibit.
Continue following the system through the exhibits.
Stephen P. Hincks A Story
A Long History of Stationary
Nefertiti’s Egypt
Roman Cuisine: Fruits
Each Answer to Every Question
H. Magnifica: The Honest Truth
GI Cuisine and Cooking by Campfire
World O’ Furniture
DBY: The Science of Choosing
Painfully Dull Speeches
Ring Around the Atlas
G-Wiz: Yearly Celebrations
THL: Aircrafts Plus
Ostentatious Shovels
Now that we’ve followed the rearranged system through the exhibits, we still need to finish this step by “GATHERING FIRST THREE.”
Take the first three letters of each exhibit name to create the phrase:
STEAL ONE FROM EACH MAGIC WORD BY PAIRING WITH LOST
There are six magic words in the front page article.
HOUSE, GROWN, BEGAN, FAIRLY, LAUNCH, BRAND
Visit the lost and found and figure out what the Hincksians have lost track of lately.
Pair each lost item with a magic word and keep the letter that’s left over.
HOUSE = HOSE = U
GROWN = GOWN = R
BEGAN = BEAN = G
FAIRLY = FAIRY = L
LAUNCH = LUNCH = A
BRAND = BAND = R
URGLAR? String this with some information from the article to figure out what Cat and Magico are up to.
First name: Cat
Middle Initial: B.
Last name: Urglar
CAT B. URGLAR!
