How It Worked

More or less...

1.    At the Black Sheep, you notice a QR Code on the ISpy sheet

a.    Going to that website, you are instructed to ask the bartender for a Phil Special

b.    The bartender hands you a coaster with another QR Code, which gives you clues to solve the Dot Candy puzzle

c.    Solving the Dots gives you a phone number

d.    Calling that phone number tells you to examine the QR Code website

e.    Examining that reveals another phone number

f.     Calling that gives you a hint for solving the Map Puzzle (which is not yet completed)

                                          i.    You are to look for the missing in-between letters to discover a Secret Letter

2.      At Tavern on Broad, you get the Cubist Art puzzle

a.    You decide to turn the block you got at the start to match the direction of the paintings and find another phone number

                                          i.    Calling that you find out that the red Dots (which weren’t used before) form one of the secret letter

1.    Secret Letter is R

3.    At Tavern on Broad, you also get the Seek & Find

a.    Once you find all the words, the remaining letters tell you find the middle of a Way at two trees

                                          i.    Two trees – Spruce and Juniper – are listed in the Instruction Sheet

                                        ii.    Going there you find Elton’s Way, so the middle letter of Elton is T

1.    Secret Letter is T

b.    Later you get a hint to examine the word list, from the beginning

                                          i.    Looking at the first letters of the words, you discover that the letters on the map where the three bars are shown are also secret letters

1.    Secret Letters are O, E & A

4.    By Dirty Franks, you’ll have completed the Map Puzzle words

a.    The in-between letters (mentioned before) spell ONE IS L

                                          i.    Secret Letter is L

5.    You now have six Secret Letters

a.    The Final Clue tells you to find the most common single digit on the coaster (5) and then move the first letters of the ISpy answers forward by that amount

                                          i.    You get IN PHILS I SPY NOW

                                        ii.    After some hints, you deduce you need to look at the big shadow Phil’s eyes on the Instruction sheet, which give you the three final letters

1.    Secret Letters are F, W & H

                                       iii.    You also learn the Solution is two words

                                       iv.    Spinning them around gives you FLOWER HAT, which was sitting high in the back of the bar.
