The Lowell Riddler is hiding medallions in the City of Lowell and offering area residents the chance to win a prize of local gift cards. Look for a new clue or riddle each Saturday!
It took three clues, but Corey Willette and Patrick Bloom from Lowell finally cracked the 15th riddle from The Lowell Riddler. The medallion was hiding in a pot of begonias outside the Lowell Area Chamber of Commerce building. The duo said they were tipped off to the location by deciphering various lines from each clue. For instance, the reference to the “Frenchman that helped us win the war” led them to the area of Lafayette Street, “Read all about it” made them think of the library and “Gently reach in” had them examining flower beds.
Here’s what else The Lowell Riddler sent us when announcing the winner and the answers behind the riddle:
