I am prepping for my first attempt at GMing and I am thinking of doing an Indian Jones style sequence where several pieces of the puzzle need to come together to find an ancient artifact. Think some of these tips/ideas will really come in handy. Thanks for sharing!

I just want to drop in and say thanks for this, it literally dropped right as I was prepping my first mystery one shot ever. Lots of solid helpful advice, especially the multiple clues in multiple locations. I also tried to give multiple methods to tackle problems and find clues

Awesome! Good luck with your one shot

I'm about to run a Call of Cthulhu game with mystery elements, so this is useful advice!
