The World's Hardest Puzzle

The Interruption | Episode Four: Close Encounters

In the last episode, we met two amateur investigators, StarDoG and AP Strange. Like Tommie, the duo had fallen down the Interruption rabbit hole and had been working on this incident for years – with limited success. However, something they say sends Tommie on a road trip… and somehow he ends up on the phone to a certain spoon-bending psychic. Two new episodes dropping every Monday. Episodes 5 &amp; 6 out on the 12th of December.

Archive is an investigative documentary series hosted by Tommie Trelawny and Nicky Anderson. Following the success of The Interruption, listeners can expect another captivating story from Season Two: The World's Hardest Puzzle. In 2012, a mysterious organisation known as Cicada 3301 announced itself on the message board, 4chan. The cryptic post appeared online, seeking 'highly intelligent individuals.' What followed became known as the hardest puzzle on the internet. One that took players across the internet and into real-world locations. After two years of enigmatic posting, it disappeared - and was never seen again. The final puzzle was never solved. Nearly a decade later, Tommie Trelawny and Nicky Anderson decide to take on Cicada 3301 for themselves. Who was behind these mysterious puzzles? And what did they want to achieve? Hosted on Acast. See <a href="https://acast.com/privacy" rel="noopener noreferrer" style="color:grey;" target="_blank">acast.com/privacy</a> for more information.
