PostCurious - Ministry of Lost Things - Case 1: Lint Condition

 It’s been a while since I’ve had the brain power and concentration to be able to puzzle, but I have a nice quiet Christmas today, and a backlog of puzzle presents that I’ve purchased for myself this year, and possibly from before. I’ve got my tea, my cinnamon rolls, and starting with PostCurious’ Ministry of Lost Things, Case 1: Lint Condition, which bills itself as buying for 2-3 hours. I can already tell you it takes longer than that when there’s a cat happily sat upon your notebook and puzzle pieces, demanding more Christmas treats before she allows you access again to your puzzle. 

The box opens with a note, explaining the world  you have found yourself in - gneesters rehoming lost and forgotten objects to the elusiverse, and sometimes mistakenly taking important items. You’re told to log into a website, then open the first ‘transmission’. I was a bit annoyed that there was an online component - I wanted a decidedly analog holiday - but the use really does just seem to be for submitting answers and checking them.
