Solve this riddle to find out where our Night Parkcade is located tonight! Solve the puzzle and we’ll see you there at 8pm!

She surfaced into the fading light from the subway station that reminded her of art auctions or cookies,
depending on how hungry she was.

Tonight, she was hungry for fellowship.

She stopped for a visit with her old friend, the tiger Baekho (sometimes orange and sometimes white, but always a calming presence) and then went west to cross the road to the edge of the Pits.

She looked down into them, that place of riotous rage and riotous joy, and decided tonight wasn't the night for the Pits: Instead, she crossed the street south and walked west, passing signs for cats, and painted leaves from maple trees, and other auspicious signs.

She continued until she encountered a set of stairs to her left, where through the trees she saw colourful birds and turtles. She was on the right track! She went south down the mysterious stairs and further through an uncanny tunnel.

Soon it opened up into a curved green bowl of a field, and amongst the flickering light and waving leaves were the shadows of friends, everywhere...
