Plot Setup
When Doctor When had his "incident" at the Big Bang, he somehow ignited a proliferation of new elementary particles, and the lab assistants are worried that the time machine isn't tuned correctly to account for these - they need the players' help to figure out the theoretical approach that will help them "manage" these new particles.
Props
Paper printouts of the particles, plus a one-page intro.
Plot Point to Convey
The players have found out the theoretical approach to managing the particles, thus allowing the lab assistants to correctly adjust the time machine.
Short Description
Players need to classify a large number of "particles" (similar images).
Detailed Description
Players receive a printout with 23 columns of images, and need to classify those images into sets. Having done so, they figure out letters for each set, which they then must figure out how to order correctly in order to read the final message.
How To Give To Teams
Handed out by lab assistant at Smith Clock Repair.
Puzzle Answer
CHRONOZOIC SPACETIME FIELD THEORY
Puzzle Solution
1) Players receive pages with columns of images. These images belong to 30 "groups", such as peace signs, balls, and moons.
2) Players must figure out what the groups are, and the order of the groups. The order is consistent in every column, but each column only contains images from some of the groups.
3) The order of the columns is as follows. (Exact names don't matter.)
Lamp
Star
Peace sign
Triangle
Christmas ornament
Dial or gauge
No smoking sign
Hole
Globe or Earth
Asterisk
Ball
Exclamation point
Trivial Pursuit piece
Red circle
Black & yellow travel sign
Face
Ancient coin
Screw
Keyhole
Clock
Handicapped emblem
Dog
Bolt
Moon
Arrow
Green circle
Pizza logo
Sun
Shower holes (may be mistaken for phone speaker holes or something similar)
Blue & white food/drink sign
4) Next, write down the column numbers that each symbol group appears in. For instance, the lamp appears in columns 3, 5, 15, 15, 20, and 25. (This includes appearing twice in column 15.)
5) Column numbers become letters (1=A, 2=B, etc.) For instance, the letters for the lamp group are C, E, O, O, T, Y.
6) Each group's letters anagram to the name of an animal (e.g., the lamp group anagrams to COYOTE). The animals are:
Lamp - COYOTE
Star - HORNET
Peace sign - RABBIT
Triangle - OCELOT
Christmas ornament - NUTRIA
Dial or gauge - OSPREY
No smoking sign - ZEBRAS
Hole - ORIOLE
Globe or Earth - IGUANA
Asterisk - COUGAR
Ball - SQUIDS
Exclamation point - PIGEON
Trivial Pursuit piece - ALPACA
Red circle - CAIMAN
Black & yellow travel sign - EAGLES
Face - TURTLE
Ancient coin - IMPALA
Screw - MAGPIE
Keyhole - ERMINE
Clock - FERRET
Handicapped emblem - INSECT
Dog - EGRETS
Bolt - LIZARD
Moon - DUGONG
Arrow - TOUCAN
Green circle - HERONS
Pizza logo - EARWIG
Sun - OYSTER
Shower holes - RODENT
Blue & white sign - YORKIE
7) The first letters of each animal, in order, give CHRONOZOIC SPACETIME FIELD THEORY, the answer.
