How to approach it
Treat the grid as a memory test on calendar folklore rather than a popularity poll. Begin by listing the broad functions the date serves in different places: honouring the dead, warding off harm, forecasting a partner, feeding a household, entertaining children, staging a public spectacle. For each function, push past the obvious modern activity into older or more local versions of it, because the reveal rewards precision over familiarity. Then move outward geographically: island communities, mountain villages, port towns and immigrant neighbourhoods all preserve variants that never became mainstream exports. Finally, check the wording of what you recall — a named dish, a named game and a named procession are all separate entries, and a specific event title usually scores better than the generic activity it belongs to.
Get a hint
Start with the widest frame: almost every region keeps at least one observance tied to the turn of the season, so the field includes private rituals, neighbourhood events and commercial spectacles alike.
A little more
Narrow by function rather than by fame — some customs exist to remember the dead, some to forecast a future spouse, some simply to frighten neighbours or feed a crowd, and each function hides its own cluster of names.
One step further
Go granular: the scored entries tend to be single, named practices with a clear setting, a fixed procedure or a signature dish, often recorded in one town or one island and rarely translated into English.

Why these answers count
Scoring here tracks obscurity within the category, not effort. The single hundred-point entry, Hwch Ddu Gwta, is a regional Welsh visitation figure most players would never reach, so it sits alone at the top. The 343 answers at 85 points share that same texture: named local processions such as the Allentown Halloween Parade or the Alton Halloween Parade, calendar-specific folk rites like Allantide or the All Hallows' Eve vigil, divination games such as apple peel divination, and named foods such as barmbrack or colcannon. Each is a real, documented practice with a proper name, retrievable only if you know the region. The forty answers at 60 points are still specific but easier to reach — recognisable public customs rather than village-level detail. Anything below that band was presumably the first thing most people say: the generic activity everyone performs, which the reveal scores low precisely because thousands of players land on it at once. The lesson is that a narrower name always beats a broader one, provided it genuinely belongs to the date.
