Be Amazed

  • Joker cells began receiving texts on June 25th saying one of:

To find the next sideshow, share these with your fellow goons. Then be amazed.

To find the next sideshow, share these with your fellow goons. There's no substitution for fun.

A few phones received additional images, with the note:

A couple extra for your trouble, clown. I remember favors...

  • Attached are images, appearing like pieces to a puzzle and/or maze, labelled 1-6 and A-F (eg, 1A.jpg -> 6F.jpg)

Pieces

A B C D E F
1 Amazed 1A.jpg Amazed 1B.jpg Amazed 1C.jpg Amazed 1D.jpg Amazed 1E.jpg Amazed 1F.jpg
2 Amazed 2A.jpg Amazed 2B.jpg Amazed 2C.jpg Amazed 2D.jpg Amazed 2E.jpg Amazed 2F.jpg
3 Amazed 3A.jpg Amazed 3B.jpg Amazed 3C.jpg Amazed 3D.jpg Amazed 3E.jpg Amazed 3F.jpg
4 Amazed 4A.jpg Amazed 4B.jpg Amazed 4C.jpg Amazed 4D.jpg Amazed 4E.jpg Amazed 4F.jpg
5 Amazed 5A.jpg Amazed 5B.jpg Amazed 5C.jpg Amazed 5D.jpg Amazed 5E.jpg Amazed 5F.jpg
6 Amazed 6A.jpg Amazed 6B.jpg Amazed 6C.jpg Amazed 6D.jpg Amazed 6E.jpg Amazed 6F.jpg

The solution

There are 21 individual, unique shapes in the puzzle, even though many of the repeats are rotated. If you assign the first shape to "A", the second to "B", and so forth, in the order that they appear, left to right, top to bottom, the following pattern appears:

A B C B D E F G E H F I
D G J J G K E L M J N E
M J G E N O G E J G A B
P K E C G N N G D E B Q
E N O G E Q B M D N O E
R B D K E N B E N O G E
D H S O N E B Q E G T A
O E A H D A C G K E Q H
U G E C G N N G D E R B
D K E N B E Q H P K E B
M N E R O G D G E N B E
S B E Q D B F E O G D G

Then use the following substitution cypher:

From:

A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U

To:

C O L R - M E I P S D J U T H N F W G A V
