[TRAIL/NON-ARG] Challus

"Challus is an internet adventure game which will take all of your knowledge, problem-solving ability and worldly experience to conquer. It is a twisting maze of puzzles, clues and spiraling paradigms that will leave you guessing every step of the way."

Sounds very interesting, and seems to be starting now.

" This is Challus, and the winner could take home $1,000,000 Dollars."

A million dollars, eh? Wonder who's funding this thing.

"The "Get a Guess" button will take you to an advertisement. You must read the full advertisement and answer a simple multiple-choice question based on the ad. By answering the question correctly, you will be given 1 to 3 Guess points at random. If you answer incorrectly, you will be taken back, given a different ad and will receive another chance to answer. You may receive as many Guess Points as you'd like. The Guess Points will carry over from room to room, house to house."

Ah, so that's how they plan on funding it.

1. While we welcome players from all over the world to compete in Challus, the prize money can only be awarded to a legal resident of the United States of America. There are many legal implications that brought us to this decision. We apologize for any inconvenience to non-US citizens.

Bummer!

I hate puzzles, but I keep playing puzzle trails. I'd be up for teaming up with others and playing as a group, for what it's worth.

Is the name a puzzle, too?

"Challus" like a phonetic spelling of "chalice"?

"Challus" like a mispronunciation of "chill us"?

"Challus" like a male, Latinate challah loaf?

I'm just asking.

I usually waste alot of time coming up with in-depth and incorrect answers to puzzles, yet I keep playing puzzle trails. I'd be up for a team! Jetpack

OK, it's sad but I still can't get the second one. I know who it is, but I guess I'm not picking the right names.

Edit: I got it. Had to buy some clues.
