Welcome to Renegade Files Episode 17, The Cicada 3301 Mystery.

Cicada 3301 is the codename given to an enigmatic, difficult, multi-faceted intellectual challenge that has been called the most elaborate and mysterious puzzle of the internet age, and was listed by The Washington Post as one of the "top 5 eeriest, unsolved mysteries of the internet."

In Episode 17 of Renegade Files we walk through the mind-blowing process of the first puzzle and how it was solved. We also learn about 2 people who solved the original puzzle and what they found out behind this most complex curtain. 

Who was the original poster? What did Cicada 3301 do next upon completion of the first puzzle? Why are there copycats? And can you and I cipher out exactly what’s going on with this bizarre mental scavenger hunt?

Well put on your thinking cap, prepare to think outside of the box, and remember that everything is a possible clue when we start down the twisted path that is: The Cicada 3301 Mystery
