Multiple shocked voices said in unison,-
(Finish that sentence and I'll know I can tell you about the next part! )
Sketch page: Hint 1
Mr. Hincks has sketched out a series of empty boxes on the shelves of the sound room. You could fill in those boxes with words using another material.
Sketch page: Hint 2
You’ll need to use the bookmark to fill in the boxes in Mr. Hincks’s sketch.
Sketch page: Hint 3
The names of the five productions happening at The Curtain’s Call Theater this season can be written into the boxes on Mr. Hincks’s sketch.
Sketch page: Hint 4
After you’ve written the names of the productions into the empty boxes, you can trace out a hidden message by following the Chapter 25 excerpt from The Case of the Curiously Quiet Theater, starting with the spring.
Sketch page: Hint 5
The word that went into the box labeled “spring” on the bottom shelf was DIME, so the first word of the hidden message is DIME. From there, you need to move to the box labeled “rocket” to get the next word.
Sketch page: Hint 6
The path of the hidden message is spring, rocket, mousetrap, bucket, baseball bat, jack-in-the-box, tire, catapult. The words in those boxes reveal the message “DIME IS FIRST INITIAL, PENNY MIDDLE, NICKEL LAST”
Poster: Hint 1
There have been four other productions at The Curtain’s Call Theater this season. The reviews on the poster describe one actor in each production that was the star of the show.
Poster: Hint 2
Each of the other productions has two comments about it. You’ll need to use both comments together to figure out who stole the show.
Poster: Hint 3
The first and seventh reviews are both about Penny Perkins Is Not A Scaredy-Cat, She’s A Criminal.
Poster: Hint 4
The first review said the best character was named after a flower. The seventh review said that the best character was played by an actor whose name rhymes with a vegetable. The only way for both of those to be true is if the star of that show was Terry C. Pelery playing Rose.
Poster: Hint 5
The second and the fourth reviews are both about Initial Here For Murder.
Poster: Hint 6
The star of Initial Here For Murder is Rick L. Irving playing Postman.
Poster: Hint 7
The third and sixth reviews are both about The Middle Part Of The Donut First.
Poster: Hint 8
The star of The Middle Part Of The Donut First is Caitlin A. Edwards playing Jojo.
Poster: Hint 9
The fifth and eight reviews are both about A Nickel For Every Body.
Poster: Hint 10
The star of A Nickel For Every Body is Ian H. Martinez playing Doctor Reilly.
Poster: Hint 11
Since the sketch from Mr. Hincks gave you “Dime is first initial, penny middle, nickel last,” you should look at the pennies, nickels, and dimes at the top of the poster and try to figure out how to use those.
Poster: Hint 12
The border of each of the coins at the top of the poster matches the border of one of the coins that’s associated with the other productions. From left to right, those four coins show a donut, a body, a cat, and a skull and crossbones.
Poster: Hint 13
From left to right, the coins at the top of the poster are associated with these productions:
-Penny Perkins Is Not A Scaredy-Cat, She’s A Criminal
-A Nickel For Every Body
-The Middle Part Of The Donut First
-Penny Perkins Is Not A Scaredy-Cat, She’s A Criminal
-Initial Here For Murder
-A Nickel For Every Body
-Penny Perkins Is Not A Scaredy-Cat, She’s A Criminal
-Initial Here For Murder
-Penny Perkins Is Not A Scaredy-Cat, She’s A Criminal
Poster: Hint 14
Now that you know how much each coin is worth, and which production it’s associated with, and which actor was the star of that production, you can get a letter from each coin.
Poster: Hint 15
The first coin is a dime from the Penny Perkins Is Not A Scaredy-Cat, She’s A Criminal production, so you need the first initial of Terry C. Pelery, which is T.
Poster: Hint 16
When you collect one letter from each coin, you reveal the final answer THE CRITIC which can be entered into the solution box on the website.
