Checking In! (Yellow -- Casa Blanca Motel)

Check twice when placing your bet,

One guess is all that you get.

In desperate need of a fright,

Thought we'd spend the night!

Most Clever Team Name

All contenders are in, 'twas hard to decide.
We loved the team spirit and Wanda Witch pride!

Between the two witches, a grand debate ensued,
They brooded and argued, discussed and then stewed,

But one clever name took them by surprise,
The Candy Coroners have won this coveted prize!

A 30-second head start to help on their race,
Congrats Candy Coroners - you're now in first place!



Response from Orange:
Thank you dear witches for honoring our name
we are giddy with twitches and in awe of your fame.

Our scalpels are ready, we won't disappoint,
The Candy Coroners are STOKED to spook up this joint!

Now that you know who’s on your team,
It's time to reveal your part in this scheme!
Before your team can compete,
Here’s some things you must complete.

The first requirement in our game,
You must invent a clever team name.
You’ll need the best label you can manage,
To be rewarded with time advantage.

We hope your team goes the extra mile,
With creative costumes, dressed up in style!

This year we're switching up the clues
And leaving one of them up to YOU!
Each team will pick a spot they think best,
For a place among our mysterious quest.

Write it in rhyme like the witches do,
Then secretly e-mail your spooky clue.
The favorite will appear on that night’s scurry,
Proving a way to help your team hurry.

Whose clue we pick, you won't know,
Until off on our Halloween journey we go.

We witches are a mischievous pair,
We’re hiding places - can you guess where?
We’ll post pictures to give you a clue.
Checking the blog, that’s up to you.

After each new adventure’s release,
First comment wins ten seconds apiece.
With riddles posted thrice a week,
Fail to guess, your future is bleak.

Finally, just one more small request,
Please bring a dish that you like best.
Sweet, savory, light or hearty,
We're having a potluck after-party!

Competition begins October Nineteen,
With a little pre-game- more ‘seconds’ to glean.
Show up that night at Hilda’s address,
Full of Halloween knowledge, ready to impress.

For a prize so gruesome; it makes grown men weep,
Come in first and it's your to keep!!

Due dates:
Team Name: Friday, September 27th
Clue: Friday, October 4th

Wanda Witch 2013

Wanda and Hilda are back for our fourth yearly game,
Hunting and hiking through howling wind and rain.
We found hiding spots among caverns, lights and dirt,
Then riddled and rhymed 'til our witchy brains hurt.

But now it's time to share some of our fun with all of you,

As we prepare to announce the members of each crew.

With challenges and puzzles straight through till the end,

Are you ready for the race that makes foe out of friend?
