APP5

Auburn Puzzle Party 5: Puzzle Patrol II was the sequel to 2010's APP4: Auburn Puzzle Patrol and is the continuation of the Auburn Puzzle Party series. It was organized by Steven Clontz and many other returning APP4 organizers. The event began on October 20, 2012 and ended on the next day, October 21.

Scenario
The Commissioner regroups the Puzzle Patrol to face off against a new villain, the Maitre D, who first appears upon the disappearance of Butler on the day of his wedding to Dr. Professor. Another new villain TechnoNerd appears alongside returning baddies King Rook and Librarian.

Players earned points by solving the villains' puzzles, each of which led to the location of a Puzzle Patrol Badge. They also fought rival gangs in the metagame Puzzle Rumble II: The Streets.
