What to put on the sign
“It took my whole SQUAD to spell it out. HOCO?”
One line, big letters. If it needs a second read, cut it down.
The plan
Get four or five friends to each hold one big letter card, and line them up in the wrong order first so it spells nonsense. On your count they shuffle into place so the cards read H-O-C-O and a question mark, and you step out from behind the line holding a small sign. It reads like a puzzle solving itself right in front of the person.
