Table Six

The voice

A restaurant server who keeps circling back to one table she can't read, watching from her service station

The scenario

Something at Table Six has been off all night. I've been a server for eight years and I usually know what I'm looking at by the time drinks arrive. This one I can't place. They're still at the table.

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.
