   Just looking at that thing is bonkers. Each PAGE is hard enough     
   to decypher, let alone putting them in the right order!   
      
   But there is a monetary prize $350USD to fund unbound.com     
   projects. Contest ends in Nov/Dec'22   
      
   BTW.. unbound.com seems like an interesting "publishing"     
   initiative.   
      
   I suppose you're not a puzzle guy in general?   
      
   Not even this cool thing?  It's a jigsaw puzzle that only     
   provides clues as you put it together. But there is no clue as     
   to what the puzzle looks like.   
      
   I brought in this particular one to see what it's like:

   mNiQ   
      
   Meanwhile.. I learned that there are a few more "stories" in     
   this style.   
      
   Back to book-style mysteries, I like the 5-minute types that     
   reveal all the clues in a short story, and it's up to the     
   reader to figure out who-dun-it.
