Grandma's First Visit Since the Move

Played on May 5, 2026 · Puzzle #77

The voice

I'm Grandma. I'm trying to figure out the thing in the corner of the room.

The scenario

I cannot make sense of what your father left here. He says everyone has one now but I have never seen anything like it. I have been sitting in the living room watching it since I arrived.

About this puzzle

How constrained voices work

Every 5Qs puzzle is built around a constrained voice. The voice knows the answer but can only communicate within a specific perspective — a doorman new to the city, a dog who only thinks in smell and crunch, an empty lot that has never been occupied before. The voice will not name the answer outright. The fun is figuring out what to ask so that the lens reveals enough for you to put a name on what the voice is describing.
