Artifacts
Additionally, the second round introduced a series of artifacts that were released concurrently with puzzle releases, intended to introduce solvers to the Puflantu alien language (which was constructed specifically for this hunt). The artifacts are not regular puzzles in that they do not have an answer that can be called in, but are instead used to learn the Puflantu language, both in terms of grammar as well as vocabulary. The conlang would be used in solving the metas and metameta.
