Well, This is Unexpected
The bats seem to have run out of candy and are now making it rain vegetables.
No one wants a Halloween brussels sprout.
We need to send a message to the trainer, but we'll have to use her code name so she knows this is an emergency.
Let’s start this Halloween themed Gazette by stabbing the difference.
There are six differences between the two pictures.
-mug
-armrest
-cheese
-blanket
-picture
-clock
Stabbing the differences has affected another part of the paper.
Some of the word bubbles have been popped on the front of the paper.
Stringing together the underlined words in the bubbles that haven’t been popped creates, “collect word that starts with the same letter as each answer not loaded.”
Some Hincksville residents' phones died right as they were in the middle of some important internet searches.
Figuring out what each person was searching the web for will generate one answer word for each block.
The first block clues that the user was searching for “squash.” Use the first letter of that answer to identify the only word in that block which starts with the same letter, in this case, “sponsor.”
Block 1: squash (sponsor)
Block 2: sale (swapped)
Block 3: mobile (middle)
Block 4: acronym (and)
Block 5: lawyer (last)
Block 6: indigo (initials)
Sponsor swapped middle and last initials.
Em’s Embroideries sponsored the Pass-The-Buck race at the Fall Festival.
The information given about the first race will allow you to put the racers in the order they finished.
1st: Finnley N. Ingalls
2nd: Anabella H. Lowery
3rd: Andy F. Lindsey
4th: Omar E. Fernell
5th: Vance R. Earlene
6th: Yasmine T. Ortiz
7th: Henrik R. Ellington
8th: Caelan N. Alston
9th: Deanna W. Youngdale
10th: Oleda D. Renstork
Swapping the middle and last initials of the racers results in the phrase, “final half of every other candy word.”
The front article lists quite a few delicious (or at least interesting) sounding candies.
Starting with the first word, taking the last half of every other word results in the phrase, “third wheels six one two seven one one seven.”
Nathan’s Haunt Shop carries options for costumes for duos. And also third-wheelin’ trios.
Connect lines to each costume duo from dot to dot (passing through a third wheel dot).
Passing through the third wheel dot gives the context for that pop culture character that the costume is referencing.
Wizard of Oz
Scared Straw Man (Scarecrow) to Red Shoe Lady (Dorothy) passes through Little Dog (Toto)
Lord of the Rings:
Ring Hobbit (Frodo) to Gardener Hobbit (Sam) passes through Grey(?)-Haired Senior (Gandalf)
Barbie:
Plastic Boyfriend (Ken) to Fashion Girl (Barbie) passes through Little Sister (Skipper)
Peanuts
Quiet Beagle (Snoopy) to Little Yellow Bird (Woodstock) passes through Zig-Zag Shirt Kid (Charlie Brown)
Muppets
Feisty Pig (Miss Piggy) to Timid Frog (Kermit) passes through Blue Weirdo (Gonzo)
Scooby-Doo
Hungry Scruffy Guy (Shaggy) to Sleuthing Snack Dog (Scooby-Doo) passes through Annoying Nephew (Scrappy-Doo)
Lion King
Royal Lion (Simba) to Spunky Lioness (Nala) passes through Flatulent Warthog (Pumbaa)
Using the middle column as 1-7, take the letter the star represents from “six one two seven one one seven.”
6: Charlie Brown (B)
1: Gandalf (A)
2: Toto (T)
7: Pumbaa (M)
1: Gandalf (A)
1: Gandalf (A)
7: Pumbaa (M)
