Puzzle #9 · Thursday, October 8

Five prompts.
Find the empty wave.

Rare answers ride. Obvious ones get washed. The pick that feels clever? The whole lineup thought of it too.

  1. Party wave1.0
  2. Kook move1.5
  3. In the lineup3.0
  4. Uncrowded6.0
  5. Locals only8.5
  6. Secret spot10.0

Each prompt asks for one thing in an open category. It shows for a 3-2-1, then you have 30 seconds to type one answer. A wrong one bounces while the clock keeps running; run out and the wave's gone. Say what everyone says and you share a party wave with the whole lineup. Say what almost nobody does and it's your secret spot, worth 10.

Answer sheets come from public lists, mostly Wikipedia, with how rare each answer should be from its page views, checked by eye. As players answer, the real crowd takes over. One scored game per device per day. Every past Secret Spot day is in the archive.

How to play

Ride the curve. When you finish, you'll see where your heat sits on the curve.

Rides play without flips, spins, or tumbling, waves rise in place instead of rolling in, and the sea stays still.
