Twilight Traffic Teasers Challenge

Items Provided or Needed

• Dodecahedron with teasers

Extras:

• Scissors and tape/glue
• Answer key for facilitation
• Word key with just the answers

How to Prepare

1. Build your dodecahedron by cutting it out along the bolded line.
2. Fold the paper at places where there is a dotted line.
3. Glue or tape the inner flaps.
4. Attach the outreach flaps to connect the two halves together.

How to Facilitate

1. Use the dodecahedron like a ball and throw it across a group standing in a circle. The person whose thumb lands on a brainteaser has to answer. If they get it wrong, see if someone else in the circle can guess it correctly.
2. Place the dodecahedron on your outreach table at events. It’s eye-catching, and people may pick it up. Encourage them to guess a few brainteasers.
3. Use the brainteasers as a passive education element in offices or classrooms. Write them on a whiteboard or put them on a TV screen for people to guess.

Tips and Lessons Learned

• Invite other student organizations on campus to promote the event or co-host it with you.
• When someone gets the teaser correct, give them candy or a prize.
• Use a time for a timed challenge to add excitement.
