Description

To get this postal you will have to guess the name and/or subject of the stamp. Sometimes it will be very specific and other times a rather generic answer. A clue will be posted on the postal boards and on this tracker. Will try and post one per day. For each clue posted each person may make one guess prior to the next clue being posted.

Guesses should be sent to IrishRef via AQMail, not posted on the boards. Even if you have no clue take a guess anyway. Half the enjoyment is seeing the range of incorrect answers and how people connected clues for those guesses. The first ten correctly guessing will be notified by AQ Mail and added to the tracker. Tracker order will be determined by order of giving the correct answer. The correct answer with how each clue is related will be posted once the postal is full.

DO NOT POST guesses to the board.

GOOD LUCK!

Clue 1 = Time

Clarification on clues:

Bazinga does relate to the Big Bang Theory show. However, that is not the answer to the theme of this letterbox. I seem to have led y'all too far along that thread. Clue 8 which I will probably post late tonight will head into a new clue thread. Always remember to keep an open mind and all the clues do relate somehow. Well Bazinga was a little bit out there.

Please refrain from making observations on the postal board about the clues. Thank you.

Clue 8 = Steve McQueen

No it is not Sheldon dressed up as the flash pretending to be Steve McQueen on Howard's Vespa for Halloween.

Clue 10 = June 11-12, 1962.

This ends the third thread. Not sure where else to go after this one.

Mystery Postal #304 is now closed!

The correct answer is An Escape Room.

Clues:
1. It is a timed event
2. 45-60 minutes typically in play to solve the clues and escape the room
3. Teams participate. It is an interesting team building experience. Our group was 8 with a 9 month old (yes the infant from the Mountaineer picture) along for the ride.
5 - It take clues to solve
4,6,7 - Intimacy Acceleration is a Big Bang episode in which the group goes to an escape room.
8, 9, 10 - All had the theme of escape: Steve McQueen The Great Escape, Pina Colada (Escape song), June 11-12, 1962 Escape from Alcatraz
Clue 11 was the address of The Escape Room in Parkersburg, WV. If you didn't get it Dudley Do Right is the one who always saved Nell from Snidely Whiplash.

Promise to make 305 easier and more straight forward.

I enjoyed this one. Once you put everything in there, I now understand it...every time I typed on PiƱa Colada, escape kept popping up in the search. =)
