Challenge 6: Untitled Crime Game
« on: July 09, 2020, 05:09:47 pm »


It's a crime-filled day in the village, and you've been partnered with a horrible goose.

To make things worse, the goose ruined a bunch of stuff in the evidence locker and we need your help putting it back together

Each tribe will divide into three groups: Searchers, Unscramblers, and Puzzlers. There will be three Searchers, three Unscramblers, and one Puzzler.

The Searchers will need to be online at the same time. When they are ready to begin, the mods will post a word search in the Tribal area along with a category. The Searchers will have 15 minutes to find as many words that fall into that category as they can.

The Unscramblers will work on their own. When they are ready to start they will be given a list of anagrams in their confessional. Each Unscrambler will have 10 minutes to solve as many anagrams as they can.

The Puzzlers may not go until both other groups have finished. They will each be given a pretty big jigsaw puzzle to solve. Fortunately for them, we will reduce the number of pieces in the puzzle for every word found by the Searchers or the Unscramblers. They will be given ONE attempt to solve their puzzle.

The tribe whose Puzzler finishes in the fastest time will win immunity and be safe from Tribal Council tonight. Failure is not an option, you might as well reapply and try again. It might be the only way to keep you safe.

You have 48 hours to assign your groups and complete all tasks. Good luck!

By the by, no using that pausing trick people learned in BotW on the puzzle. The puzzle time is based on when you get the puzzle to when you post the answer, not the number on the screenshot.

The word search will have a coordinate system, instead of uploading a picture with circled words you are allowed to say "The word SAMPLE is at X47", where X47 is the coordinate of the letter S.

Well, the lack of honking noises means that the horrible goose is gone. And even better, our evidence locker is back in order!  Let's see how you all did.

How big were the puzzles?
Each puzzle was 300 pieces, minus one for each word found/unscrambled +/- one or two based on JigsawPlanet's granularity.

BAU's puzzle was 198 pieces.
SVU's puzzle was 252 pieces.

But that's not important. What matters is how fast the Puzzlers did.
BAU finished in 28 minutes, 28 seconds.
SVU finished in...
30 minutes, 39 seconds!

BAU wins immunity for the third time in a row!

SVU, you know the drill by this point.  See you at TC.
