“Season One Finale” Recap [SPOILERS]

And the correct answer to the Season One Finale puzzle was…

PALACE GAMES! Located at the beautiful Palace of Fine Arts near Golden Gate Park, this company offers two Escape-the-Room puzzle games for teams: the Houdini room and the Roosevelt room. These games are among our favorites of their kind, particularly for their high production value, clever puzzles, and gorgeous location.

In this puzzle, you first need to determine the participant number associated with each team member, based on the mathematical clues:

	Confused	Curious	Excited	Sleep-deprived	Victorious
Ducky charms	23	24	44	61	60
David + Adriana	62	1	32	30	31
??	63	54	64	55	43
Knights Garden Creamery	22	2	56	74	75
Quirksome Quells	12	73	38	13	76
Oakland Blokes	25	14	21	57	85
MA.D GG.B	77	33	58	59	20
Team i eta p sub pi	3	45	4	6	78
This is the best we can do from Belgium	5	15	46	39	84
Never Leave the Mission 2.0	34	16	47	8	36
Arturo	72	52	17	81	37
Maya	26	71	35	18	80
Lahosken	27	7	41	48	79
Team Benji	51	40	70	82	19
Eggplants	11	50	9	49	83
Dukael Mikakis	28	69	10	68	67
Team Carly	42	65	53	29	66

Then, the second part of each team member’s clue can be interpreted as one or two crossword clues. West-to-east clues are ACROSS, and north-to-south clues are DOWN. The completed crossword puzzle looks like this:

The final step is to overlay each of the team photos over the crossword grid, such that the purple rectangle lines up with the name of the corresponding Mission Street Puzzles puzzle name or answer. Read the letter at the beginning of the red rectangle, and put together all the letters to get the final answer: PALACE GAMES!

This week’s Fastest Solver was DavidSteinAndFriends, with Never Leave the Mission 2.0 in second and Jeff in third! Congratulations!
