Wow, it’s the final puzzle of Season Three! To celebrate, you’re invited to the Texas Highland Lakes for the end-of-season Mission Street Puzzles Music Festival. We’ve got a great lineup for you, all up and down the seven lakes, and many of the 53 performers (like E and A) can be found in multiple acts. Based on the list of band names and logos, can you figure who is in each band and where on the river each of them is playing?

And the correct answer to the “Illusory Intensity” puzzle was…

After an exhausting period, our 88 light producers have sent their results. Following analysis, these four are the best of the best. We’d like to congratulate them personally, but they didn’t send their identities. Maybe you can help us find where in the universe they are, and later, decide the best restaurant to gather at for the celebration?

By the way, their pics should be in our gallery, although some frames have been rotated for some reason.

And the correct answer to the “Feel Like Going to the Movies?” puzzle was…

(more…)

Woody, Sulley, Nemo, Bob, Remy, and Carl are going to the movies this afternoon to see their favorite movies–starring themselves, of course! Help them find out which movie is playing in which theater, and then watch the short clip below to discover where they plan to grab a bite after.

Movie theater floor plan:

All movies are the first or only one in their franchise. The movie in Theatre #3 has only two movies in its franchise. None of the theatre numbers match the last digit of the release year of the movie. Movies without any sequels or prequels are in even-numbered theaters. The movies where the main protagonist is a real animal are in horizontally adjacent theaters. Every movie on the left side is older than every movie on the right side.
