The Mole - Episode 4 - Challenge #9

"Posting for Points"

Welcome to "Posting for Points" - This is a forum style game and as I know you all loved the previous one, I know this one will be right up your street even more. I will be opening a channel on The Mole discord and your job is to ensure every player posts immediately BEFORE and AFTER every other player exactly 3 times, no more, no less.

Example: Player 1 posts, Player 2 posts, Player 1 posts, Player 3 posts.

In the example player 1 successfully posts before and after player 2 once, but player 3 does not post immediately after player 2 as player 1 is between their two posts. You have unlimited lives in which to achieve this put if you are restarting you must say the word *Restart* in the channel, then you can begin again.

If you successfully complete this challenge, 1250 points will be added to the pot. You have 24 hours. I wish you the very best of luck.

The Mole - Episode 5 - Challenge #10

"Cash Cases"

Episode five begins and only five of you remain. For this challenge each of you has been given a briefcase. Your very simple task is to decide whether you want to open it or not. If you all agree to not open your case, 1500 points will be added to the group pot. If just 1 of you decides to open your case, that player will win an exemption for this final five quiz and 1000 points will be added to the group pot. If 2 of you decide to open your case, those 2 players will receive a message from The Mole and 500 points will be added to the group pot. If 3 or more of you open your case, this challenge is lost. No money, No exemption, No messages.

You have until midnight tonight (7pm EST, 2am Turkish time. 8am Poison's time?) to DM me if you would like to open your case or leave it shut. You can change your mind as many times as you want, I will only take your last answer. Good luck!

The Mole - Episode 5 - Challenge #11

"Anagram Anarchy - Part 1"

In the previous challenge no points were added to the group pot as everyone except Savy opened their case. Before beginning this challenge the 5 remaining players have sorted themselves into 5 different categories.

Ethan has 'books and literature'

Poison has 'around the world'

Feather has 'film and television'

Wonder has 'music'

Savy has 'mythology'

Each player will shortly receive six different anagrams relating to these broad subjects. The answers to the six anagrams in each category has a connection in themselves. If a player correctly sends me the correct answer to all six of their anagrams, 100 points is added to the pot. If a player correctly sends me the connection between their six answers, 100 points is added to the pot. Note, I will be strict on the connection. Each player can add 200 points to the pot at this stage. You must do this part of the challenge alone, without the help of anyone else.

You have 12 hours. Part 2 will be revealed tomorrow. Good luck

The Mole - Episode #5 - Challenge #12

Anagram Anarchy - Part 2

As a group you managed to earn 700 points in the first part of the challenge. You may now freely share your answers with each other, this is important as you will need to correct the failed anagrams for this second part of the challenge. For this second part of the challenge you are going to take all 30 completed anagrams and put them in alphabetical order and send them to me via discord DM. However, as ever there is a catch. Each player must submit a group of six answers and in the right order. Further to which I will be DM'ing each of you a clue as to what your own personal answers can and cannot contain. Your challenge, is to send me all 30 in the correct alphabetical order within 12 hours. 100 points for each group sent correctly. A bonus 250 points if all 5 groups are correct making this second part of the challenge worth up to 750 points.

12 hours. Time starts now. Good luck!

The Mole - Episode 5 - Elimination

Welcome players to the fifth elimination. This is the final time at which items could be used and I can reveal that both jokers and an exemption were played. This translates to the following outcome:

The sixth victim is now known. I can reveal that of the four genuine players that took that test. At least half of them failed to answer more than half the questions correctly. Some people are still swimming in either blissful ignorance or tunnel vision. What will happen as we reach the semi finals!?

The Mole - Episode #6 - Challenge 13

Ambidex Game - Mole Edition

Welcome final four, this challenge will be incredibly familiar to some of you and I have put my own twist on it. The stakes could not be higher because in this challenge you are not only are you fighting for the most amount of points so far, you are fighting for the biggest prize in this game besides winning, someone at the end of this game will have an exemption to the final 3. Here's how the challenge works.

You each start with 3 points. You will DM me a list containing each of your three other players and tell me if you wish to ally or to betray them each individual. If a pair both select to ally with each other, that pair earns 2 individual points and 333.33 points for the group pot (Yes, you read that right). If one person chooses to ally and the other selects to betray, the player who betrays will earn 3 points whilst the person who allies loses 2 points. If both players elect to betray, nobody earns anything.

One further rule. Everyone, including The Mole must choose to ally at least once. The player with the most points at the end of this challenge will earn an exemption to the final 3. In the case of a tie, NOBODY will win the exemption.

2000 points can be won for the group pot in this challenge.

You have 24 hours. Good luck!

"Jigsaw Jumble"

In the previous challenge only 333.33 points was earned for the group pot and nobody won the exemption after Feather and Poison tied for the most amount of points. In this challenge the final four will have to complete a jigsaw found at the following link:

www.jigsawplanet.com/?rc=play&pid=36b703c32633

You will need to send me a screenshot of the completed puzzle and the time you completed the puzzle in. If all four of you complete the jigsaw in an accumulative time of under 18 minutes, 2000 points will be added to the group pot.

You have 24 hours. Good luck!

The Mole - Episode 7 - Challenge #15

3 Questions

For this challenge the players privately answered three different questions. They had to write down one of their fellow finalists as the answer to each question. Once they had done that, the other two finalists had to try and match the answers given. For each set of matching answers, 500 points would be added to the group pot. If all three sets of answers matched, a bonus 250 points would also be added. Here are the results.

Ethan

First question, I asked Ethan; Which of your fellow finalists is most likely to serve time in jail? Feather and Poison said "Feather" - Correct

Second question, I asked Ethan; Which of your fellow finalists is likeliest to be alone in 10 years time? Feather and Poison answered "Poison" - Correct

Third question, I asked Ethan; You can live the life of either of your other finalists for one day only, who do you choose? Feather and Poison answered "Feather" - Correct

500 points have been added to the pot.

Feather

First question, I asked Feather; Which of your fellow finalists would be most help in a crisis? Ethan and Poison answered "Ethan" - Correct

Second question, I asked Feather; Which of your fellow finalists would you not trust with your most valued secret? Ethan and Poison answered "Ethan" - Incorrect, Feather said Poison.

Third question, I asked Feather; The three finalists are trapped in a desert, you're the only one with supplies left. You can only share your supplies with one of them, who do you choose to leave behind? Ethan and Poison answered "Poison" - Incorrect, Feather said Ethan.

No points here.

Poison

First question, I asked Poison; Which of your fellow finalists is the most sneaky? Ethan and Feather said "Ethan" - Correct

Second question, I asked Poison; Which of your fellow finalists is most likely to vote for themselves in a popularity contest? Ethan and Feather said "Ethan" - Correct

Third question, I asked Poison; A deadly snake has bitten both of your fellow finalists and you only have enough antivenom to save 1. Who do you save? Ethan and Feather said "Feather" - Incorrect, Poison said Ethan.

No points here either.

500 points out of a possible 1750 were earned during this challenge. That means going into the final challenge tomorrow the group pot currently stands at 8973 out of a possible 17600. Remember if the pot is restricted to 9800 or less then The Mole is eligible to win this game. I'll see you tomorrow for the final challenge!

The Mole - Episode 7 - The Final Reveal

Its over. The finalists have taken their tests and I'm pleased to announce we have a winner. Both genuine finalists scored a maximum of 20 points on the final test and I have therefore had to go on count back to previous test scores to determine our winner. No screens, no charades just one big reveal.

Here are the finalists and the role that they played .....

SPOILER: Click to show

WINNER

FEATHER

SPOILER: Click to show

THE MOLE

POISON

SPOILER: Click to show

RUNNER UP

ETHAN

Congratulations to our winner who was onto The Mole from the very start. They only got 1 question wrong the entire season. No spreading from him there. Full credit to the runner up also who was basically this season's challenge ace. A few honourable mentions I would like to give, firstly to Wonder who was this season's Mr Tunnelvision. Secondly to Savy who would have survived to the final 4 had Wonder not played his exemption. Thirdly to Daniel who was knocked out by the slimmest of margins and finally to Connor ... who sadly removed himself from the game despite only him and Feather being onto Poison from the start.

The Mole did some memorable and often blunt sabotages which both annoyed and delighted some people, especially the one during "Safe Space". I thank The Mole for being such a great sport throughout this, you did a great job!

Of course if you didn't spot The Mole from their sabotages there were hidden clues which a few of you looked for and one of which did get solved! Here are all four of them.

Hidden Clue #1

In "Music Mayhem", from the timestamp 2:47 on the following six songs can be heard.

Gangnam Style - Psy
That's What Makes You Beautiful - One Direction
I Love It - Icona Pop
Don't You Worry Child - Swedish House Mafia
Troublemaker - Olly Murs
La La La - Naughty Boy

Had any of you listed the artists of the songs as appeared in the video, I think you will agree by taking the first initial of them this game would have become a lot easier!

Hidden Clue #2

The car used as the picture in the challenge "Jigsaw Jumble" formed part of a clue dating all the way back to a challenge in episode one. The car in question is a 1933 Pierce Arrow 836. In "Safe Space", 3 digit combinations were needed to open everyone's safe ... The Mole's was opened by 836.

Hidden Clue #3

The clue that got solved! For winning the Majority Rules challenge Feather and Aleks both opted to receive a message from The Mole. One half of the message was some meaningless poem full of drivel designed to make people tear their hair out, (Sorry Wonder!). The other half was this clock gif. The times shown are 4:15, 9:19 and 3:14. By translating the first and third times into 24 hours and using an A = 1, B = 2 cipher, you arrive at this solution:

16:15 - P O

9:19 - I S

15:14 - O N.

Congratulations to Feather for being the first to solve this and congratulations to Wonder for also solving it yet still voting Feather as The Mole.

Hidden Clue #4

In Anagram Anarchy you yet again had the chance to spot Poison's name lurking around the anagrams. Here are the answers to the Around The World set of anagrams:

SKOPJE

ANDORRA LA VELLA

PRAIA

KINSHASA

NICOSIA

PYONGYANG

Taking the 4th letter of every answer and reading down, the traitor once again reveals himself.

That's all for this season of The Mole. Who knows if I will be back or not with another but I've had a blast. Thank you to all 10 players and congratulations once again to the winner!
