Previously: Meet and Greet
Was there ever any doubt that the teams would step up their game over the second half of main gameplay in #YASummerShowdown 2017? Let's check out what went down in Part II!
Puzzle 4: The Forbidden Puzzle
For Puzzle 4, teams worked their way through a Hogwarts-themed logic riddle. The speediest solvers were LONFYA, FYAON, and LRFYA.
