It’s a clue from a wealthy, anonymous benefactor. There will be a series of items that show up around your house. Your task will be to identify the pattern and decode the hidden meaning.
This will lead you to a second location, in which there will be a food-based challenge. It might require eating something - it might require making something - it might require serving something - it might require a crafts project based on the food. You won’t know until you get there. The result of this part of the challenge will be a reference to something musical.
The musical clue will direct you to a used CD shop. This person behind the counter will provide a CD. The actual contents of the CD will not matter. Instead, the lyrics printed on the jacket will take you to your next step. It will appear to reference a foreign city. However, if you are clever enough, you will recognize it as a landmark at the zoo.
Meanwhile, authorities continue the search for this man, last seen boarding a bus near Northern Piper’s house carrying one shoe and a hastily packed bag with clothes spilling out.
