The voice

I'm the home-health aide. I'm in the back of the room. I'll tell you what I'm watching tonight.

The scenario

The living room lights are off. I am in the back of the room watching the family. An old grandfather is talking, and the family is very quiet. Something keeps making a click every minute or so. I am not sure what the event is.

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.
