Re: Adventure Challenge
I hope everyone had an excellent Christmas, but before anyone thinks they can take a well earned rest I've decided that I'm not going to wait until the New Year before posting the next puzzle. Enjoy, or not as the case may be...

Re: Adventure Challenge
Same problem here, except I also have to come up with a game and some clues. So if you people don't mind, it may be a couple of days or so before the next contest is posted.Gunness wrote:I'll bow out of the challenge for the next few days (there's some oddball event called "Christmas" coming up).

Re: Adventure Challenge
No it doesn't! I got to thinking that it was a soap bubble and the spaceship was landing thus giving "Soap Land", but this new clue leaves me floundering (yet again).Alex wrote:Alastair, good thinkingmaybe the next clue will help :
