Dad's Mystery Mix 2025

Start Date/Time: Saturday, December 20, at 8:00am.

Instructions: All the songs in the mystery playlist that follows are related by a distinct commonality — your task is simple, just one question: What is this mystery connection? Answers may be submitted in person or messaged in a private text, with the winner being declared when we gather on Christmas morning. The accuracy of your initial submission will not be divulged beforehand. However, should you wish to withdraw your initial entry and substitute another, you will be given one opportunity to do so. If no correct entries are received by Christmas day, a hint will be given to all and the game will continue, whereupon you may make additional entries. In that second round, if a submission is deemed incorrect, I will respond with “Try again,” inviting you to take another stab at it, doing so as many times as needed until a correct answer is received.

Merry Christmas and Happy Puzzling!
