Map of the circus grounds
Hint 1
This map has to be combined with another document.
Hint 2
The other document is the flyer of the circus. Fill in the letters that are on the backside of the flyer into the grid of the map. Follow the directions to read the letters in the right order.
Hint 3
You’ll recognize the tall grass by the blades that are drawn on the map: there are only a few places on the map where you won’t find these blades.
Hint 4
Accurately filling in the letters should give you something like this:
.SYAD3NI.
ENICINDIR
SAWSROTCE
RGO..5LFT
AONG1H..U
.NAU3EREP
The squares marked with “.” do not contain letters.
