Episode 187 1/2: The Hidden Game 5.0

One more Hidden Game

(which means one more season) done

and done! Good luck, all!


The Season 5 Riddleclue:

===================================

The time is nigh? Nay… nigh is HERE! Quote, “Be prepared to quake with fear!” 

This season’s end brings one more clue. Now that we’re done, here’s what you do:

Look closely at each podcast pic, and note the count, but not so quick… 

Include as well the numbers hid amongst the podcast names I did. 

It’s on or off. It’s yes or no. It’s this or that. It’s one or “O.”

Be eagle-eyed, and seek and find - Alight an arrow in your mind.  

Wolf down these words and wash them down. Bear witness to this final round…

And now, my friends, the final hints - Like camping, ya’ll - this GETS INTENSE!

First name the film, then name the star.  Although I may have gone too far in hiding clues within these rhymes. I trust you can forgive my crimes, as you navigate my traps and tricks… throw at the wall and see what sticks - 

Please like and share and click the clicks… I’ll see you all in season six.

=================================

If you think you've figured it out, message me at CaptainGameShow@gmail.com or privately on Facebook. No spoilers, please! 😊
