Yesterday we went to the Haight district in San Francisco to play in the treasure hunt Bang 8. It is a part of the Bay Area Night Game series. My team was very frustrated last time in Bang 7 since we couldn't solve a problem which required the knowledge of the middle names of US Presients, so this time I invited 4 Americans to play with us. That proved very useful in the first puzzle "Cookie Monster!".
"Cookie Monster!" consisted of a bag of cookies and a crossword puzzle. The task was to identify all the cookies in the bag and fit their names in the crossword. I only knew Fig Newtons, but my teammates came up with names like Nutter Butter, Nilla Wafer etc. I was so glad that they were on the team!
Initially I was a bit worried that a team of seven was too large, but since we had at least two puzzles on hand each time, we worked in smaller groups, and that was quite efficient. In fact, we were the first team to get to the finish line! That really surprised me. I had been to several treasure hunts, but I was never even close to having a decent rank. Three cheers to the team!
