Wanda Witch 2009

By the tennis courts in Tumbleweed Park
There's a white bridge where we'll meet after dark

Arrive by 7 and don't be late
We don't want to make anyone wait

You'll find that your best chance of winning
Is if you're all there at the beginning

Work together, looking up with your crew
You'll see directions to start gathering your brew

Find your cauldron to leave the scene
Are you ready to celebrate Halloween?


Start:
Before you begin to gather your brew
You'll need a cauldron to hold your stew

Not far from this bridge and somewhere nearby
A silver, slithery X stands high

This X marks the spot for starting the game
Ending with a golden broomstick to claim

Canyon Oaks Park
Half way down a windy Canyon road
A sandy lot lies among mortal abodes

Even though it's namesake implies
You will find no Oak trees there lie

In light, children play without a care
But during the night is found bare

To find the next step in your chase
Look for the handle with which witches race

Broom handle:
Buried below by ghostly hands
Directions await in these sands

Dig deep; this task to complete
But do not stray more than two feet

sand:
Hurry along, for it's getting late
Follow the path through the iron gate

Find the flag North along the watery shore
And with the next clue start haunting once more

But first, before leaving this haunted place
Return my message to it's hiding space

Back to the sand and under the ground
Everyone must find, what you have found

For all who playing must follow the rules
Lest they risk the wrath of goblins and ghouls


B&N
To find this store with books on display
Look for palm trees to line your entryway

Arriving at this royal next mission
Send only one in, to reduce suspicion

*The Graveyard Book -- Niel Gaiman
*Salem's Lot -- Stephen King

To discover the clue that so many will seek

PUMPKIN
Whisked to the college by devils delight
Trouble may be found day or night

Search the field at the end of Frye Road
But be careful for we are in haunting mode.

Hidden pumpkins, here you will find many
But keep a watchful eye as yours could be any.

Hunting around for this vined crop
Find one colored ______ 'round the top
*crimson

Reach inside and search through the goo
This jack o'latern hides your next clue

Railroad Museum
Traveling down a deserted trail
You'll find a museum next to the rail

Don't worry who haunts these empty trains,
You won't have to enter, your clue to obtain

Second from the end and South ten paces
Looking down into wide open spaces

That's all we'll say, a surprise for the rest
You needn't know more to continue your quest

San Marcos Hotel
Head North on the State that God Enriches
But be weary of vampires and witches

East on Hot Wings, no that's not the real name
Figuring it out is part of our game

Then you will come to a 4-way stop
Southbound is the way you should hop

Past the pavillion and then to the right
Things might scare you at this time of night

Go on your way along with Saint Mark
And then you'll see the place in the dark

Hidden among the shrubs and the trees
A troll's gateway lies which needs no keys

Throw the arch and between two palms
Find what you seek without any qualms

Just take one, the rest to share
For other teams will soon be hunting there

El Zucalo:
Drive South on Arizona, but not past the light
A string of restaurants are lit up at night

Once you've arrived, your worthiness to prove
Pick someone who is hungry for Mexican food

A warning to you, this part won't be easy
So pass over those who spice makes queasy


Ending location
Congratulations you've completed your test
Now rush to the council to end your quest

Find the place where the Council will meet
I'll give you the number, but not the street
