Holiday Hijinks #7: The Turkey Trial 2023

What are those silly humans up to today? It looks like the whole family came over to the farmer’s house for a good time but now they are all looking at you in a peculiar way. You can feel in your feathers that something is off. Somehow, you just know that you need a way out of here! Fortunately, there is a whole barnyard full of friends who can assist you in your quest. You need to break out and see what the governor can do about this!

The Turkey Trial, title #7 in the Holiday Hijinks line, is an escape room-style game in just 18 cards! As a group, you will solve a series of puzzles to unravel a mystery.

Puzzles may test your perception, wordplay, and lateral thinking. English language fluency is required.

When you have solved a puzzle on the cards, you will enter the answer into the companion website (compatible with all smartphones and computers) and it will check whether you are correct. If you are, the website will tell you which card or cards to take next. The website also contains a graduated hint system, so if you get stuck you can get just a small hint about the current puzzle to get moving again without giving too much away.

This system is non-destructible: some groups may choose to write on cards, but this is not required. A group cannot re-play the game but can pass it on to another group for their use.

This entry in the series takes about an hour to solve and is rated 1 out of 3 in difficulty.
