This is a fun little hunt with a prize of a dandelion pendant worth $50 and a Stone Cold Creamery gift card for $50. All of the information you need is on the image. First person to message me the correct answer wins. I am expecting this to go quickly so I'll look at timestamps in case of multiple correct answers.  |

Wow I thought this would be a quick kill. Second hint...knowledge of The Big Lebowski is not required to solve but, it will tie the room together 😀

Dang, got as far as Café Lennon's in Volendam (The Netherlands), but couldn't get it to fit any further. Can't wait for the solution.  |

Congratulations to Merlot Brougham for being first to solve the puzzle and claim the prize, which is a dandelion pendant and Cold Stone Creamery gift card.
The solution is the last name of a person named Laura who left a three-star review at the Grand Cafe de Walrus in Sneek, Netherlands. This was Laura's first review, and although she thought the food was "Erg Lekker" or very tasty, the basis of the review was that the children's menu game "find the differences" only had nine and not ten differences. If you Google the cafe and search the 2,000+ reviews for "10" her review will come up second, along with a photo of the offending menu game.
The string EPSHKMYSHSTKEAP is an acronym of a line from the Beatles Magical Mystery Tour song "I Am The Walrus" hence "elementary penguins" in the puzzle background. You can also use the red letters as a cipher key with a one-time pad for the hint JOHN L NOT V ILICH which all of you Big Lebowski fans will recognize.
This was fun to create...thanks to all who participated!
