Mystery Postal 402 is now closed.
Congratulations for those that solved the mystery:
Solution was BINGO
The clue explanations:
1. Blackout - version of bingo where you have to fill the entire card.
2. Intense - If you have ever played or worked at a regular bingo venue you know many are very intense
3. Never Been Kissed - This is British lingo for the number 16
4. Game - It is one
5. One Little Duck - This is British lingo for the number 2.
I apologize a little for using the British lingo. However, I wanted the first five clues to spell out BINGO. Anyone pick up on that tell hidden in the clues. If you had looked at them on the tracker in order it might have jumped out at you.
6. Basket. Basket bingo for Longaberger baskets as prizes was all the rage a few years ago.
7. Postage Stamp. Version where the top two numbers in G and O win. Also can be used for any of the four corners.
8. Picture Frame Version where you have to get all the border numbers.
9. Four corners. Version where you win by getting the four corner numbers. There is also an inside corner version.

At least you had some answers. I looked at those clues, did some internet searching, told them to my husband, but came up with nothing.
One of these days, IrishRef, you should post the guesses you received for each clue, anonymously, of course. I'd love to see a follow-up postal ring where everyone picks a ridiculous guess from the list to carve.

This one had me scratching my head. I don't think I'd have seen Bingo even if I had looked. I can't see the forest for the trees sometimes.
Good one though!

Ah, I would never have gotten it ... up here in NE we don't use the term "blackout," we call it "coverall." so off I went down a very wrong path and dead-ended! Oh well!
