TAR16 - EP 12: "Huger than Huge" FINALE!! (summary in posts 1thru 3)

Thanks, Peach! :waves:
"A long time ago, on a hill far, far away, soldiers returning from the South Pacific demanded a place where they could relive perfumed nights spent beneath palm trees and cooled by the fierce ocean winds. They built this Polynesian haven and they called it Tonga!"
Thinking that the goal of the VR game could be to find and read this message to give them the location of their next clue?
The Tonga Room makes most sense to me -- it's a landmark and matches the description in the clue (it opened in 1945, just after WW2). :tup: to plaidmoon and jerseydude.

I have no idea about the order of the tasks, but at the top of the hill where they are carrying the trunks are several old historic hotels. One of them (the Fairmont?) has a famous bar/entertainment lounge called the Tonga Room. That could be where they are going with the trunks. Or I could be grasping at a coincidence.
I'm at work, so I can't look into this. I'll leave that as an exercise for the readers. :lol:

Plaidmoon, I'm thinking the Tonga is maybe where they get the trunks? ??? Since we know they don't have them when they get to Lucas and they go to Tonga right after Lucas?

To me it sounds like Airport -> Coit Tower -> Lucas Films -> Tonga Room -> Take trunk to Great American Music Hall or Curran Theater or somewhere near by for a memory task with the trunks? - Then to the pit stop at Candlestick Park (or Monster Park or whatever they are calling it these days).

Agreed. The Tonga faces California street; one team heads west, the other south.

Great great job guys!! LOVE it! :hearts: :jumpy: :hearts:
Take another look at Chateau's stuff--by Chateau's times, we have Lucas films, Coit Tower, then trunks right? Or do I have it bassakwards?? ??? I know from **coughcough** the day that Coit tower was pretty done by 1130...and Lucas seems to take a couple of hours, so thought trunks came after Coit...also by Tweet times (all that is in post 1).
We should be able to map out whether they are moving towards the Tonga Room or away though...
