Burn After Solving

Story

Final Mission

Mission success!

Well done, agents! Not only did you get back the Golden Sphinxes and rescue Agent Dahl, but you were able to LEAVE TORTOISE WITH A BOMBSHELL! They won’t be troubling the world of puzzledom again any time soon. Thank you for your great work, and welcome to NOMS!

Your mission

Great work, agents! Now we know enough to be able to slip you into TORTOISE’s hideout so you can retrieve those Golden Sphinxes. But now the stakes are even higher: they’ve also kidnapped Agent Dahl!

Looks like we can get some more secret information from the ENIGMA CRYPTS:

It seems that TORTOISE headquarters are located in TBILISI, GEORGIA:

Surveilance

It sounds like our Québécois intelligence partners could make use of MICROFAUNES to get more information:

TORTOISE's plan

It appears TORTOISE’s evil plan involves GOLDEN SPHINX COUNTERFEITS! Here’s what we need you to do about it:

We’ll need you to find a way to get the real Golden Sphinxes back before TORTOISE can use their clout to take over the world of puzzledom!

Orientation

Welcome, agents. Before you get started with Burn After Solving, please join us for orientation:

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, involves the word nerds at the National Puzzlers League. The Terrible Organization of Really Treacherous, Overtly Ingenious Super Evil-doers has set their sights on sabotaging them, but we need your help to figure out how. It seems involvement with the NPL has reshaped our data into puzzle format, but you can still check out the additional info provided by Agent Rasa here. (This link is not a puzzle.)

Coming soon…

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to thwart the plans of an enigmatic mastermind. The fate of puzzledom hangs in the balance.

You are authorized to recruit team members to assist you in carrying out your mission.

Your mission will begin on October 9, 2021.

Your handlers are Tortoise, Rasa, Neko, Cute Mage, Firetruck, Capital R, G2znii, Fraz, and Apocope.

Good luck!
