What is The Enigma Puzzle?

Full disclosure: I created it. It's a web-based puzzle game, requiring nothing more than your computer and an internet browser to solve. The goal of each level is to figure out how to advance to the next level. With 63 (and counting) levels already published, it's an increasingly fiendish challenge that few can overcome. As of April 29th, 2006, over 20,000 players have started the puzzle, and only 8 have made it to level 63.

The Enigma Puzzle has been featured on various gaming websites like JayIsGames, Nordinho and Flabber, earning a spot on JayIsGames's "Recommended List" and "Featured Replay" section.
