I'm the empty lot. Three days ago I was nothing. Something is on me now.
Something is happening on me. Three days ago I was empty. I have been empty for many seasons. But Friday night they came with stakes and trucks. Today the small humans are screaming but it is not the bad kind of screaming.
This is a Community 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.
Community puzzles draw on shared knowledge of public spaces, civic events, and the everyday environments that neighbors share. The voice is usually someone embedded in the scene with limited line of sight to what is actually unfolding.

I'm the new kid on the block. I just moved here two weeks ago. I'll tell you what I see out here.
I'm the custodian here. I've cleaned this church for twenty-six years. I just want to mop.
I'm the dog. We went on our walk and something is different on the path.
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.
