About the Puzzle
I think this was the second puzzle we made but it was published fifth in our series, hitting the newsstand on July 30 of 2015. It ended up with a lot of pop culture trivia: music (6), TV/movie (11), and sports (6). This one should be light and fun, even if you don't live among the Great Lakes.
