The Guessing Game

Blog, Fun POST A COMMENT by

Hi everyone, Mod R here.

It’s Friday, we can all hear the siren song of the weekend, what better time to fun around?

Firstly, there’s a new sample of Magic Strikes up on the Graphic Audio website: it’s the scene where Kate and Jim first arrive at the Rakshasa hideout in Unicorn Lane! I’ll remind you that we got a blog exclusive sample of the Midnight Games arena, which you can listen to here. If you can hardly wait after listening to those, the release is next Wednesday, August 23rd on the Graphic Audio Access app- and it will show up on Audible and other 3rd party retailers on September 12.

And secondly, I bring you 3 character-guessing quests: a quote challenge, an image clue puzzle and a riddle. Each refers to a different character and all House Andrews series are on the table, but they’re not as hard as usual. 2 out of 5 Chernobogs difficulty, at most.

Let the games begin!

First challenge

Name the character who got up to hi-jinxery:

“Look, I took one small fish, then the guy started screaming, so I slapped him with it. It wasn’t my fault he tripped and fell into a stall of fruit. So I laughed, and they all started chasing me.”

Probably Jim, right? ::pokes tongue out at the Beast Lord::

Second challenge

Work out the image clues and guess the character they refer to. That’s all you get!

A bee on a flower.
A bee on a flower with pollen.
A white ceramic cup with a navy drawing of a dog on it.
A ceramic mug with a drawing of a French Bulldog
A sunset sky with a flying aircraft/device.
A sunset sky with a flying aircraft or device

You can click on each of the images to enlarge. Each image has a descriptive caption and Alt-text for accessibility, but I’m in the comments if there are any screen reader issues.

Third challenge

You’re almost there, what’s your hurry! Which character is this riddle about?

I was the leader of the fierce but few
Guided them divinely, to my name true
My house was once covered in the urine of feline
And I fought valiantly to save my bloodline.

I linked the answers here. The Horde was quick with this one hehe.

Good luck and happy distraction!

  2. 2 out of 5 Chernobogs difficulty? Not for me. I am so bad at these. I got #2, and that’s it. Bug….

  6. I am fairly certain #3 is Aunt B. I think #2 id Bug. But I have to go do some research for #1

  9. 1.? I can’t remember this scene! Fruit stalls seem like Kates world or maybe intergalactic market?
    2. Bug
    3. Aunt B – I was confused about the name reference but who can forget her husband’s romantic oops?

    Thanks for this bit of fun! It’s laundry day here so I appreciate the distraction:-)

  10. From the meaning of the name Beatrice, I agree that #3 is Aunt B. Wouldn’t have guessed myself, though.

  13. Hi, I’m have a….difficult…medical appointments day (2 rescheduled for MONTHS AND MONTHS from now)…so brain not at all sharp…
    but 2nd image is Bug’s coffee cup – Hidden Legacy, as well as one of his drones — Let’s say over Baranovsky’s mansion in White Hot?

  15. The first one, I have to guess yet. But the second is Dr Doolittle, and the third is Aunt B (that little practical joke her late husband played on her that backfired on him…)

  17. Tithe answer to the first challenge is Hugh, from Iron Magic, when he’s remembering his childhood.
    2nd challenge, #2 is Bug, but I can’t think of the other two.
    3rd challenge I believe is Calendina.

  18. I often wonder what it says about me that I suck so bad at these. . .

    I realized after someone suggested Jack for #1 that I have never done a reread of the Edge series (I was think Conlan or Keelan for number 1).

    2 is totally Bug because Napoleon

    3 Aunt B (wanted to say Jim or Rafeal) but after someone mentioned the meaning of the name Beatrice, I was like duoh!

    • I am just finishing my reread of the Edge and now I have to reread Innkeeper. I might have a BDH problem.

  19. I’ve tentatively guessed Jack, Bug, and Aunt B.
    My confidence level on this is roughly 1.5 Chernobogs.

  20. Ok I’m terrible at guessing games. But here goes. No idea for #1, none, so I’m throwing Jack out there as someone who might steal a fish as a joke. I think #2 is Bug and I think #3 is Rose.

  21. OK. I’m one of the worst ever at puzzles, but here goes: Jack for #1, Bug for #2, and officer Marais for #3 just because of the covered with feline urine line.

  22. Totally Jack (loved that scene), Bug, and Aunt B (I laughed hysterically reading about that courtship).

    • Well heck. I need more coffee. Not Wilmos. Aunt B instead. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️lol

  27. my guess for the middle one is Bug
    First one might be one of the edge kids…Jack?
    I don’t know the last.

  29. Challenge 1: Jack (The Edge)

    Challenge 2: Bug (Hidden Legacy)

    Challenge 3: Aunt B? (Kate Daniels) – not sure of this one, it has me stumped!

  30. 3rd Aunt B. Isn’t that what her mate did while courting her. glued everything upside down with cat in cage. Cat peed, fan on, and whee?

  31. I am so bad at this type of thing. Did not get the first two until I read some of the posts (of course Bug! French bulldog and a surveillance drone).
    I’m thinking Aunt Bea for the third, but not all of the riddle fits for her, so it’s just best guess for now.

  34. 1st. ?

    2nd. Bug.

    3rd. Aunt B. Isn’t that what her mate did while courting her. glued everything upside down with cat in cage. Cat peed, fan on, and whee?

  35. First is Jack since because he is quite often in difficulties for his demeanor. Second is Bug because of the french bulldog. Third I had no idea but the BDH voted for Aunt B and now I can see it as well.

  38. I think the first character is Arsenio.
    Bee on flower is Aunt Bea,
    Mug could be Cornelius (Nevada has mugs with cute kittens, not sure about Catalina’s mugs…).
    The flying drone thing is probably Bug.
    The riddle is a puzzler – maybe Kate’s dad or aunt? the “leader” thing would seem to rule out Kate herself, since she doesn’t like that role. Someone that Curran had a beef with…

    Sigh… I’m not very god at this!

  42. My guesses is Jack from the Edge and Innkeeper series. The second is Bug from Hidden Legacy. The third I’m guessing Kate Daniels

  44. I know that 2 is big and that’s all I got. 3 is throwing me for a hard loop I want to say 1 is a shifter but I can’t be sure.

  46. I think the characters are Conlan, Christopher, and Aunt B. Now I will click on the answers 🙂

  47. I had thought 2 was Caldenia but someone said Bug and that makes more sense. Number 3 I think is Aunt B.

  49. 3rd challenge is aunt Bee the house sprayed in pee was when her mate was courting and glued everything to the celing including the cat in a cage above the celing fan and the pee

  50. well, luck had it, just listened to that book, so Jack, for #1…
    other two, guessing Bug and Aunt B for the last one….but those two I wasn’t 100% sure…actually surprised I was correct.

    Thank you
