Owen Kelly and Christian Kipping solved the riddle while fishing at Loch Lomond, "Add at least one word to the following series: wild, football, card, mind." Each word can be associated with the word, “game.” (Wild game. Football game. Card game. Mind game). Therefore the answer is any word that can also be associated with the word “game,” such as “war,” “big,” or “board.”

Upon hearing of the completion of the riddle, Prince Trollywald sent the warriors an urgent letter requesting that they go to a particular gamestore in Santa Cruz to recover an object that had been stolen from him. However, the letter was intercepted by Pierre Tombale’s bandits and they are now in posession of the Prince’s game. Fortunately, the bandits do not understand the importance of the item. It has been more than a year that they have been trying to piece together it’s meaning and some of the bandits are getting frustrated. In fact, it appears that the youngest of them is willing to strike a deal: He is willing to hand over the Prince’s property if you agree to take him with you on the following mission.

Do you agree? (Feel free to submit answers below).

***The prince has become aware that certain warriors no longer work well together. In an effort to keep the peace some assignments will be requested of some members and others of others members. It is the royalty’s sincere hope that no one will be offended by this arrangement. Also, there is no problem with additional warriors being invited to play, but the prince will continue to direct his instructions to the following players:

Brianna Jacobson
Owen Kelly
Laura Lockwood
Erik Peabody
Chris Thomas
Mike Treanor

If you do not want to be included, please say so.

2. Batteries to the light
3. A suggestion: KEEP EVERYTHING
4. A riddle: The riddle had to be assembled. It was written on slick paper covered in wax. To read the riddle it was necessary to scrape the wax from the papers. The riddle was: "Add at least one word to the following series: wild, football, card, mind."
