Name an old way of sending a message
Our answer book holds 42 answers to “Name an old way of sending a message”, from the first thing anyone would say to names almost nobody would think of. The answers that come to mind first are Carrier pigeon, Letter and Smoke signal. They count, but they keep you close to the ground. It is a fairly short list: only 10 answers sit in the two rarest tiers, so reaching one takes real knowledge.
Hobbies help here: a tool or an object from your own corner of life is rarely on anybody else's mind. You will find it in stage 2, “Granny's Attic”, of the History mission. The first stages of every mission are free, and later stages come with the full mission.
