Developer Luca Redwood (of Bronze Award-winning 10000000 fame) sent out a cryptic image today, a puzzle related to his upcoming social dueling game Smarter Than You.

The puzzle was hinted at first by the glitchy tweets of M.E.T.I.S., the fictional AI character behind Smarter Than You's mysterious background narrative, before being sent to individual journalists and tweeted out to the public.

The image itself contains a row of what appears to be several fragmented game screenshots. Below each, a string of numbers and letters, and then a set of arrows joining pairs of games together and pointing to a unique email address, presumably for sending solutions.

A venn diagram with the overlapped section highlighted in red appears below each pair as well, suggesting a link between certain games. A shared word in the titles, perhaps?

Smarter Than You should be launching soon for iOS. Read more about the game here.
