First Clues

As the hunt begins, you’ll need a trace.

For the first clue lies in a familiar place.

Friends, fun, and strategies top grade,

And upon which most eyes have been laid.

A couple minutes and seconds through,

Look close and take heed.

The sum of materials is the answer you'll need.

Make the result of this step a point in time,

Take it now to 2020's prime.

Listen close to spoken phrase, by a woman close to heart,

For there's a new meaning, don' t be mistaken.

The context here opposes the answer, here I've

tried to outsmart,

The clue leads to commitment whence a break was soon taken.
