Friends Phoebe and Zoe (both girls) are going on a camping trip with their guy friends Collin, Calvin, and Markus. Each person brought his or her own sleeping bag from home, each a different color (blue, red, orange, green, and yellow). When they arrive at their camping site they decide who is going to do what chore: one person is needed to start the fire; two people are needed to pitch the tents; and two people are needed to prepare the meal. After it gets dark the five friends try to out scare each other with frighteningly scary ghost stories. Each person told one story about either a vampire bat, Bigfoot, a monster, a ghost, or Captain Hook. Your job as an observer to their camping trip is to figure out which person brought which sleeping bag did what chore and told which story. Good luck and bring your own toilet paper!
The girls rode in their own car while the boys drove the truck with all the camping supplies in the back. The boys drove a lot faster than the girls and by the time the girls got to the campsite the tents were already up. Collin was frantically searching for the matches to light the fire but couldn't find any.
"Leave it to the boys to forget the matches," Phoebe whispered to Zoe, as Phoebe grabbed the lighter out of her pocket and quickly got it started.
Markus told the girls that he had put their red and yellow sleeping bags into their tent.
Collin's stomach started growling and so he yelled out "What are we going to eat?? I'm starving!"
Calvin replied, "I've got it all under control. We're having burgers that are already on the grill."
After dinner the five sat around the campfire and listened to each other tell stories. Phoebe got so scared at Markus' Captain Hook story that she hid her head under Collin's blue sleeping bag. Phoebe didn't believe her story to be just a legend she truly believed in Bigfoot and told her story with great pride. One of the guys with the orange sleeping bag loved scaring everyone with his tale of a monster that roamed the woods and preyed on unsuspecting campers. One of the meal makers told her horrible story of vampire bats while the fire starter fell asleep in their yellow sleeping bag. The owner of the green bag was so tired after having worked so hard at putting up the tents that he feel asleep as well, right in the middle of Collin's ghost story. Despite all the scary stories the five campers all fell soundly asleep from all their hard work and fun of the day.

Great puzzle, except the clues are confusing as to who started the fire, that part didn't make any sense. Liked the format though, fun!
Great story line for logic problem.. could easily be in a text book or book of games. Snaps for originality!
I love it! Original, lots of fun, and great clues!
I agree with morningglory.
But it was still a pretty good teaser.
But it was still a pretty good teaser.
i got all of the jobs from the first few lines. liked the format. great teaser!
finally got one right i really liked it, it was pretty hard but not impossible, like some of the ones on this site. keep up the good work!
Wonderful! Threw a few curve balls in it for maximum brain tease - thanks!
i agree with morninglory too. I really liked the story. That was really creative! Keep them comming!
Woah, it waz fun and pretty easy 2 solve...though it was pretty u know..hard 2 c the clues cuz it waz like....2gether u know..lol...
fun! easy, but lots of fun!
very creative and unique, well done
interesting,fun, and easy
It was a lot of fun!
I liked how this one was different in format than the other logic grids. It seems as though you make a lot of logic grids kellgo. You have made up some very interesting ones from what I've seen so far. I found this one to be pretty easy...I didn't even use the bottom part of the grid except for with one clue. Like many others have said it was a little hard figuring out who the firestarter was. If you read futher into it though you can figure out it was Pheobe because it talks about "the firstarter falling asleep in their yellow sleeping bag which we found out earlier the yellow sleeping bag belonged to a girl. So its not impossible to figure out if it was Pheobe or Collin that started the fire. So I still say this teaser was very well done.
Thank you, I appreciate your taking the time to do all my teasers. Thanks for the compliment!
There were a lot of unnecessary clues, but I loved the format. It made it harder and a lot more fun. Good job!
It was really easy, but the story line kept it interesting. I don't see how there could be confustion over the fire, it clearly states that Phoebe started the fire with her lighter.
Thanks for the fun one.
Thanks for the fun one.
I loved the different narrative format, and the fire thing kinda made you wait and read the whole thing for any more surprises like that ! Nicely done !
REALLY good puzzle! You really threw me a curve when you had the guys get there first and have the tents up already when the girls got there and Collin was looking to light the fire. I immediately jumped to the conclusion that Collin was the firestarter. When I came to the statement that the firestarter fell asleep in their YELLOW sleeping bag, I said "the yellow bag belongs to a girl" I went back and saw that it was Phoebe who actually started the fire and I saw that it was Calvin who said that the burgers were cooking. After I fixed the mistakes caused by my falacious assumptions, it was easy to solve the puzzle!! Good work!!! I especially like the way the clues are given as part of a story and not as a list. Reallllllllly gooooood job.
I wonder what so-called "corrections" have done to this puzzle.
How could the group decide on the division of labor "when they arrive at their camping site," if boys pitched the tents before the girls arrived?
[quote]Phoebe whispered to Zoe, as Phoebe grabbed the lighter out of her pocket and quickly got it started.[quote\] could be read as Phoebe snatching lighter from Zoe's pocket before starting lighter.

Great teaer! I loved the story format. There was no confusion at all with who started the fire, as it clearly states Phoebe grabbed the lighter and lit it. There were a few unneccessary clues, but overall, a very enjoyable puzzle! KUDOS!
Not that it changes the teaser any, but in answer to stil's comments: the story didn't say they decided as a group, it said they decided after they arrived at the site. The boys decided to pitch tents AFTER they arrived. As far as the lighter goes, it doesn't really matter who's pocket the lighter was in. Phoebe is the one that grabbed it and lit the fire.

Like everyone said. great puzzle. A bit confusing.
Creative and fun!
Keep up the great grids!
