Pilcrow Bar is a pop-up puzzle experiment from The Alinea Group.

This game is a reflection of our commitment to experimentation. We ponder the question: what kinds of weird, unlikely, and absurd pop-up restaurants would we like to create? We’ll present nine of them to you over the next month, and your job will be to solve the puzzle hidden in each one to discover the passphrase required for entry. Each is a diabolically clever visual or word puzzle. And each solution brings you one step closer towards solving the final Grand Puzzle.

Over the course of this game, we’re giving away 15 fabulous prizes, including: 

  • A set of MadeIn Cookware. Can’t eat out? Cook in with style.

  • A Signed Alinea Chef Coat

  • Over 21? A Pappy Van Winkle 10 Year.

  • Like wine? A bottle of Kistler Chardonnay helps you self isolate in style.

  • The Alinea Group Book collection.

And the grand prize: a Dinner for Two at Alinea with wine, caviar, and decadence that seems inappropriate right now but will feel perfect once we reopen on the other side of these trying times.
