Well, my rabbit came in very handy last night, but not for it's intended purpose...

... to explain, it was another escape room ala Bunnylump. The premise was that I was trying to vwrite an Oscars acceptance speech but needed to write puzzles to remind myself of all the films that had influenced my illustrious career. Can you guess what this one was?

The rabbit then had a message which led to another clue which was revealed by boiling the kettle and looking at the window. This led to this page in the cookery book...

This was hidden in the cupboard under the stairs...

...what do you think that clued?

There was all sorts of other stuff, this was in the shower

Which clued two more films.

I won't bore you with the whole lot but suffice to say there was a balloon spider in the porch, a clue which said "one film is set in the Big Apple" which was deliberately designed to annoy them ( yes, a clue to the next film WAS hidden in a hollowed out fake apple!) Also they had to do a maze puzzle, walk across a bridge whilst blindfolded, make jigsaws of the ET poster and then find the clue on the back if the pieces, play colour coded notes on the piano etc.

Many thanks to lovely LAT who kindly tested some of the puzzles for me!

Oh wow, this is brilliant (again).

And that's *exactly* the intended purpose - for "someone" to invent amusing uses and spreading the happiness.

Is your magic roundabout granny house white maybe?

No, it's blue. Why?

Golly, that must have taken you hours to prepare! :o
Hope it all went well and that they appreciated all your hard work.

Not sure I contributed much but I did enjoy looking at the puzzles you sent me.
