Ten Pins Game: 2024-2025 season

The 2024-2025 Ten Pins Reading Game at Mystillery Lanes has opened for the season!

Your goal is to knock down all ten pins by reading books with numbers in their titles, using additional books and a little math if needed. This game is seasonal (it alternates with Abra Cadavers). Read the General Information page and start knocking down pins!

As with all Mystillery challenges, short stories are welcome here! Check out your mystery anthologies/collections - shorts with numbers in titles are pretty common!
  (submit once for each pin).     Review previous games: 2021-20222022-20232023-2024
