Marsha Blovotnick was schvitzing. Her sister had just invited herself over for Shabbat dinner (oy!) and she was woefully unprepared! She was in such a tizzy that her thoughts, emotions, and daily activities were all jumbled up. Simply put, she was puzzled. Did you help Marsha figure out what she needed and where in Philly she could find it? She’s a busy woman, so I hope you came back each day to help Marsha unravel another piece of the puzzle.
Everything Marsha needed could be found in her favorite neighborhoods: Manayunk, East Passyunk Crossing, and Rittenhouse. But although you had to identify a real location each day using Google Maps, neither you nor Marsha would have found anything tangible there. What Marsha needed was more like… wisdom. You could solve any three daily puzzles to add a new prize card to your collection! The only time you needed to schlep somewhere was if you figured out everything Marsha was searching for…
