    I have to wonder if this is all an elaborate recruiting ritual for a hi-tech gang of cat burglars.

    Excellent. I was wondering about that myself. If it's not the images even, but some code in the order the images are sent. I'm going to play with some ideas around numbering each "base image" (slide, code, etc.) and numbering each mask pattern, doing some multiplication of those numbers, and see what happens.

    The 2 things I want to know are; why is the bottom puzzle piece a screw, why did the latest image have "2" as the caption when all the others had "."

    So they've summoned all the elite code breaking gamers across TA for one epic heist. Amazing.

    Yes, the '2' definitely changes things up.

    I tried addition and multiplication. Nothing.

    A google image search for connection has it here. Definitely nthink we need to be looking for a connection between the other clues.

    I'm also wondering whether "code" needs to be more specific. When you do a Google image search for code, nothing like what we have comes up (more matrix kind of stuff). So maybe we're on the wrong path for that. Maybe it means developer or programmer??

    A search for "coding" yields similar images

    Looks like Stageshadow had suggested "Connection" back on page 86 for the puzzle pice image. Glad to see that's been confirmed by the image search result by amifish. If they all start with "C" and the waterslide is "Chute", then what word starting with "C" does the asia map image refer to? Maybe it's "Continent"?

    Could the pictures found be leading us to the websites they were originally posted on and not the literal image?

    Perhaps the unity code clue isn't anything more than the word "unity". Like the puzzle pieces image is telling us to look for a connection, perhaps the code image is merely telling us to look for the "unity" among the other images.

    If that's the case, then we can simply ignore the code and puzzle images and just focus on what connection the others have. What is the unity between them all?

    It's also possible that the yamba image is for "land" and the water slides for "sliders".

    Land (Yamba)
    Sliders (Waterslides)
    Character (Cat Enthousiast) ?
    Connection (Puzzle pieces)
    Map (Asia) ?
    Code

    Further Geocaching

    Have we considered the possibility of another team-geocache as the answer? So far all google maps data from the developers has been asking us to work together (unity) to physically send a team member to the location.

    Google images would have me believe that waterparks a somewhat common attraction in Yamba. At the risk of sounding really silly, maybe there's a ground-mural of the world map near a slide in one of them, and East Asia somehow holds a final thumb drive? And it's...cat shaped? Here's one in Detroit for reference - it's about 20 meters across. We've all seen installations like this in amusement parks, no?

    Good find. I tried a lot of search terms but came up with nothing.

    The curser on the Yamba image is in the Sea. I can't tell if it is the Coral Sea or the Tasman Sea. See?

    It's the Tasman Sea. Or more generally the pacific. I tried searching for news of discoveries off of Yamba, but only found the discovery of an old tugboat, the SS Yamba, off of Sydney.

    Hmm...

    I just remembered that the website (which was created with Unity) that we were sent to from the restricted are in the game was titled with the question: What happened in Land Sliders? The website never answered that question, it only sent us to the Twitter account.

    Perhaps the connection between all of the images is what answers the question. Or at least perhaps we are supposed to keep that question in mind while we try to figure out the connection.
