Be Amazed

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)

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:
