ROUND 4 META: CRIME
by Greg Brume
Starring as your demons: Evan Davidson and Nikki Akraboff
Final activity: Go to the Kresge Lot with a Twinkie
The answer to each puzzle in round 4 is the name of a magazine. For each, find the individual letter in the ransom note made from that magazine's logo. These are, in the order provided in the handout:
FLASH: "A" in HAVE
TRICYCLE: "T" in HOST
BREAKAWAY: "W" in WITH
PRICK: "I" in WITH
NYLON: "N" in RANSOM
BIKE: "K" in KRESGE
DOMINO: "I" in RIGHT
LOADED: solo "E" in KRESGE
These letters spell A TWINKIE. Going to the Kresge Lot as noted on the ransom note and handing over a Twinkie gets you the certificate.
These are the magazines used for the ransom note:
