Iron Order's Bewildering Winter's Warming Brain Benders!

Postby Cody F » Mon Jan 21, 2019 5:34 pm

Ya'll ready for this!?

The IO have put their brains together to come up with the puzzle challenge of all puzzle challenges.

Here are the rules...

1-You must have your team posted on this forum by the start of the submission period (Jan 30th). First puzzles will be posted the day after Winter's Warming starts (Jan 26th)
*You do not HAVE to be in a team or with a partner, however we HIGHLY recommend it. If you do choose to go it alone, no whining that one team has three brains working on each puzzle and you just have yours ;)
2- Teams can be anywhere from 2 to 4 members, and be sure in your post to indicate who the team 'captain' is- they will be responsible for submitting answers forum pm (please do not post answers on the event post), and dividing the prizes for winners.
3- Use only the combined brainpower of your team - no cheating please :)
4- Answers are to be given to the IO members via forum PM (see below links) by the set date (Between Jan 30-feb 1, midnight CST) and we will announce the winners two turns later to give us time to read all submissions (Feb 3)
5- Clues/hints/helps can only be requested by team captains ONLY on the forum post during the submission period.
6- Have fun! Enjoy the brain workout!
*no purchase necessary to enter or win

Any questions about the event itself can be asked by just flagging one of us down :) It should also be noted that even if you miss one day, if you have a team you can still take part as the puzzles for each day will be posted.

We’ve decided to change Rule #1
1-You must have your team posted on this forum by the start of Winters Warming (Jan 25th)* You can make changes to your team up until the time the first puzzles are posted by editing your post. First puzzles will be posted the day after Winter's Warming starts (Jan 26th)


You may enter and add people to your team (still a max of 4) until the submission period (Jan 30th). Once hint/clue requests are allowed, there will be no more entries.

Good luck!
I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome I am :D

It's time to get these Brains Bending!!

First, a little about these puzzles:
They are grouped together in three parts. Solve part A, then part B, then part C. It is possible to solve part C independently, but you will need the solution to part A for part B; and part B will give you a clue to part C. Make note of who, what, when, and where relative to these solutions as you find them. (All solutions are available in game)
I realize this may sound a bit confusing, but you will see what I mean as you go along bending your brains around these puzzles. All solutions will be necessary to solve the final puzzle and be named the winner(s)!!
When submissions are entered please keep them grouped together (1a, 1b, 1c, 2a, 2b, etc) if you can so that it will easier for us to name the ultimate Biggest and Bendiest Brains of all!

If you have any questions as you go, feel free to each out to any of the Iron Order - although we will only be giving hints/clues/help during the submission forum here on the forum - for clarification of rules or what I mean by this lengthy rambling.

Now, onto the PUZZLES!!

(Edit - redacted solutions given at the end)

Very nice! I am still missing a few... and my partners haven't even seen the crossword yet. So I will wait for them. I would rather finish with my team and be last then finish without them. :)
