About Conundrum 929
Conundrum 929 allows players to experience an mesmerizing internet mystery. It has drawn inspiration from multiple real internet mysteries such as the famous Cicada 3301. The game features a replica of a real browser which allows you to navigate between different pages which have also been inspired by real ones.
The game features four different levels of difficulty ranging from complete beginner to genius. Depending on the selected level of difficulty it allows the player to look at hints that either explain the riddles very extensively or not at all.

✦ AI summary
Players report that this puzzle game has interesting ARG-style concepts but suffers from unclear mechanics and unintuitive puzzle design that creates frustration rather than engagement.

So I try to click the username to see if I can bring posts mentioning it. Nothing. Maybe the names aren't clickable because the games expect you to type the urls yourself so I go and type manually "https://www.reding.com/u/Thunderinbolt97". Nothing happends still! A bit annoyed I decide to switch difficulty all the way down to easy to have a feel of how things are set up and how the hint system works. the hint is "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elder_Futhark". Im like "oh okay so there wasn't an alt…2 found this helpful
I really enjoy puzzle games, but this one was far-fetched and a bit tinfoil hat for me. I really tried to get into the game, but it was mostly just boring and uninspiring crypto puzzles using various ciphers and methods for obfuscating text. meh.
