[Summary] : SLC29-W5 | Route of Clues

_{Edited by Canva}

Hello Steemians,

Week 5 transformed the map into movement: not just pins, but mini-journeys with a start, direction, and ending — plus a mystery hidden inside the walk.
This time, the mission was:

Can you guide readers through a short route and hide a fair order puzzle (A→B→C) inside it?

Participants had to choose a real mini-route, pin it on SteemAtlas, explain the route (start/end + retraceable steps), include 2–4 original photos, share a short proof video (20–60s) showing the three moments in sequence, and design a Hidden Order Puzzle so readers can deduce the correct order using logical hints (sound, light, crowd, direction, distance, inside/outside, etc.).
Week 5 also rewarded engagement: attempting to solve other participants’ route orders through comments.

This week produced a strong variety of routes: neighborhood connector roads, park walks, campus paths, market streets, artisan corridors, and “daily life” journeys that become meaningful when turned into a sequence of clues.

Week 5 Statistics

Total participants reviewed	18
SteemAtlas pins included	18 / 18
Video provided (Speem/IPFS/YouTube)	15 / 18
Hidden Order Puzzle clearly present (three moments + solvable order)	6 / 18
Route described as retraceable (clear start → middle → end flow)	12 / 18
Engagement indicated (interaction beyond own post)	13 / 18

Score Verification Note

All final scores used in this report are the official jury totals and are mathematically consistent with the rubric (sum of the 5 criteria equals the final score for every reviewed entry).

Post Quality Snapshot

The most common Week 5 weaknesses were:

• Order puzzle missing or not truly A→B→C (many posts used general questions or counting puzzles instead of sequence deduction).
• Route becomes a “place review” (describing a location rather than narrating a short walk).
• Three moments not distinct enough (stops blend together, making the puzzle unfair).
• Media compliance gaps: missing a proof video, or exceeding the 2–4 photo limit.
• Engagement not strong enough (some replies on own post, but few visible attempts to solve others’ order puzzles).

High quality (8.5 – 10)	4 posts	Clear route, fair A→B→C puzzle, strong proof video, and good engagement.
Good (7.0 – 8.49)	4 posts	Strong entries, but missing one key element (A→B→C puzzle clarity, strict video compliance, or engagement depth).
Needs improvement (Below 7.0)	10 posts	Most often missing the real hidden order puzzle and/or a clearly guided mini-route.

Top 6 Winners – Week 5

Rank	Author	Route / Location	Score (/10)	Why it stood out	Post Link
1	@marwene	Beb Bhar → Artisanal Corridor → Al-Zaytuna Mosque (Tunis, Tunisia)	9.4	Best overall execution: perfectly retraceable route (10–15 min), strong cultural transition, fair order puzzle, valid proof, and full engagement. Only drawback: too many photos vs the 2–4 limit.	View post
2	@bossj23	Transformer Road → De Daniel’s Royalty Hotel (Uyo, Nigeria)	9.2	Most creative “route logic” entry: junction patterns, numbered buildings, repeated signs, and a playful coded clue (NHS). Proof video is perfect and the path is highly navigable.	View post
3	@enrisanti	Calle Grupo 8 → Mercado Periférico (Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela)	8.9	Strong market-route storytelling with clear three-moment puzzle (fruit/veg → groceries → fish stand), excellent local realism, and Speem proof tied to date.	View post
4	@ripon0630	Lalbag Mosque Road (Sitakunda, Chittagong, Bangladesh)	8.6	One of the clearest true Week 5 puzzles: three distinct moments + retraceable road transition (concrete → dirt) and a proper A/B/C order challenge.	View post
5	@dove11	School → Lane → Park → Temple → Market (India)	7.4	Strong walk realism and clear route turns (~500m). Would rank higher with a cleaner three-moment A→B→C order puzzle and stronger external engagement.	View post
6	@kibreay001	Bamundi Bazar Road (Bangladesh)	7.4	Great street-life documentation and proof video. Needs a clearer A→B→C order puzzle to convert “features” into a true “sequence of clues.”	View post

Community Highlights

Best Retraceable Route + Urban Transition

@marwene delivered the cleanest “threshold → corridor → sanctuary” progression, with the most readable atmosphere shift.

Best Puzzle Creativity + Route Complexity

@bossj23 made the street itself feel like a code: junctions, signs, and landmarks working as puzzle logic.

Best Market Route Execution

@enrisanti created a highly solvable A→B→C puzzle using real sensory logic (smell, crowding, small incident trigger) and clear route length (about 120m).

Best True Week-5 Order Puzzle

@ripon0630 gave one of the clearest A/B/C order setups with distinct moments and grounded road details.

Honorable Mention (Great Mapping Clarity)

@lunasilver mapped the route with precision (pins, distance, time), and only needs the A→B→C puzzle format to reach top tier.

Jury Notes for Week 6 Improvement

• Use exactly three moments and label them clearly as A / B / C.
• Make it solvable: mix the descriptions, then add 2–3 logical hints (inside/outside, sound change, before/after a gate, short distance markers).
• Keep the proof video strict (20–60 seconds) and show Moment 1 → Moment 2 → Moment 3 with brief focus on each.
• Respect the 2–4 photo limit: choose your strongest visuals (one per moment, or start/end + one key stop).
• Engagement counts: try solving at least two other participants’ order puzzles with short reasoning.

Closing Words

Week 5 proved our world map is becoming a network of micro-journeys, not just locations.
Each entry added a thread: roads that connect daily life, gates that open into new atmospheres, markets that pulse with motion, and routes where the smallest turn becomes a clue.

Congratulations to the winners, and thank you to everyone who walked, filmed, mapped, guessed, and interacted.
