But we’re going to warn you now…this puzzle isn’t just going to be a slam dunk. While a picture of the puzzle isn’t featured on the box, we’ll give you a headstart on that: it’s actually a QR code against a multi-colored background. While the puzzle itself only rates a 5 difficulty on a scale of 1 to 10, the odd black edges and non-descript rainbow underneath mean putting this whole thing together isn’t quite as simple as you might believe.
Of course, you’re pretty smart. That means you’ll likely be able to crack this particular headscratcher and, with enough time, snap all those recycled cardboard, individually unique pieces into place. Once you’ve finished your glorious project, then it’s time to scoop up your generous reward.
Just aim your smartphone or tablet camera at the picture, and the code will unlock a special website where you can score your winnings. But as a smart guy or girl, we’ve got to warn you — the odds could be against you landing the $1 million grand prize.
The consolation is that every single person who finishes the puzzle will win something. Granted, it might only be a bright shiny new quarter, but hey, that’s a quarter more than you had when you started, right?
The money is great and all, but the fun of The 1 Million Dollar Puzzle by MSCHF is what you’re really after anyway. Isn’t it? Yeah? Do the puzzle and find out, a $64 value now on sale for over 50 percent off at just $30. Go make your money, big brain.
