Feels like Cicada 3301. Something about being hosted on Tor makes the puzzles feel spicy rather than an ordinary ARG. Are there any currently active?

Cicada was/is a cypherpunk recruitment effort.

I was going to dispute your assertion, but instead ended up confirming it: https://uncovering-cicada.fandom.com/wiki/The_Leaked_Email

Apparently the email I was thinking of where they describe their goals is, in fact, PGP-signed.

Still, quite ARG-like.

Ah man, one childhood mystery I wish I didn't know the answer to.

Well if it makes you feel any better, Liber Primus isn't anywhere near solved yet, so, if you get the bug, you can certainly take a stab at it.

Or if you're looking to get into the CIA, get into airforce intel, do well, and behave yourself, and you too can file paperwork for the most illustrious of spy agencies.
