Ten Pins Game: 2025-2026 season

In a burst of caffeiene and efficiency, the 2025-2026 Ten Pins Reading Game at Mystillery Lanes is already open! 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! New for 2025: No more multiple strings, you only get one. However, you can replace any completed pin with a different title(s) to improve your score.   (submit once for each pin).     Review previous games: 2021-2022 • 2022-2023 • 2023-2024 • 2024-2025
