Books with large-scale puzzle characters are solving

[Kate]

I am interested in reading books where there is a very large puzzle that has multiple steps to solve that many people are working on. It could be a competition like in Ready Player One or something more collaborative like in An Absolutely Remarkable Thing. Basically anything where the main characters are trying to solve a puzzle with complicated clues and steps they have to follow, preferably if there are lots of other people also trying to solve it. Any genre welcome. Thanks in advance!

The Westing Game

The novella Diamond Dogs is sci-fi about a team trying to reach the top of a mysterious alien spire by solving puzzles. Think Indiana Jones meets Cube.

If you haven't read the The Temple of the Blind series by Brian Harmon, check it out! It's one of my favorite puzzle-based series.

S. has elements of this, although on a smaller scale.

Sleeping Giants might also work.

You could try The Da Vinci Code which features symbologist Robert Langdon solving a puzzle and clues to get to the bottom of a murder in a museum.
