What to put on the sign

β€œLet's not let this one TUMBLE. HOCO?”

One line, big letters. If it needs a second read, cut it down.

The plan

Take a mini Jenga set and paint one big letter on the front face of certain blocks, so the built tower reads a teaser line and the blocks they pull spell HOCO. You challenge them to a casual game, and as the tower comes apart the pulled blocks line up into the ask on the table. It is the only one here where they build the answer with their own hands.
