I'm a vintage dealer - I date garments by how they close
A fashion journalist is investigating the moment a designer put a piece of industrial hardware on a runway garment. Critics called it ugly and inappropriate - something that belonged on a boot, not a dress. The journalist wants to know: what was the hardware?
This is a Art-Performance puzzle of medium difficulty with one hidden answer. Players had up to 5 questions to ask the constrained voice before having to commit to an answer.
Art-Performance puzzles describe a creative work, performance, or artistic process from a vantage that omits the genre name. The player identifies the form by its production details, audience reaction, or physical setup.
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.
