GC to update day-of-game.

Presentation:

8 cups with bugs in them (the bugs themselves are not relevant to the puzzle), 5 sets of 8 colored coasters with bugs cut out of them, 8 pictures on the bottom of plates.

Walkthrough:

Players must arrange cut-out coasters according to each master image. The order of the coasters isn't important for the final extraction, but it is a unique order for each set.

Then, they decode the sides into 5 bit ascii: reading a black bar on the side is 0, and not is 1. (This also means it's the orientation of the bugs: vertical is 0, horizontal is 1) Ordering those letters by resistors gets you the answer: Features
