The message sent us to a public storage facility in Oakland, where we found a coffin. When we laid in the coffin, (or, you know, took it apart. whatever) an MP3 played a series of long and short hatchet noises. This was morse code, which led us to a grate at Oyster Bay Park.
At Oyster Bay, there were two clues: one for the early-arriving teams, and a different one for late-comers. We managed to confuse game control by picking up both clues. (Whoops.) The first clue, which we weren't supposed to solve, was a long string of different stinky food items, separated by cardboard pieces. Assuming each food item represented a letter, each cardboard piece a space, and re-using our favorite go-to crib, we solved the puzzle, which said to go to a shopping cart graveyard. But since this wasn't the right clue... We turned to the other clue: a Ouija board and a story of a man's murderous travels. The Ouija board was overlaid with a map, and its triangle had a symbol on each corner: one for fire, one for water, and one for earth. For each death in the story, we placed the triangle over the location it occurred at the map. We read the letter that the corner of the triangle that corresponded to the killing method. (Drowned = water, etc.) Those letters spelled out the location we were really supposed to go to: ST JOSEPHS CEMETERY FREMONT |
