The puzzle consists of 26 webpages each of which has a series of clue fragments on it each of which links to one of the 26 pages. Each clue phrase can be assembled by forming a path through the webpages where the next fragment is on the page that the previous fragment linked to. All the fragments will be used in one clue when the clues have been assembled properly.
The answer to each clue has a name embedded in it. Each webpage represents a letter of the alphabet and the path through the webpages spells out the answer except that a single letter has replaced the section of the answer that is the embedded name. Arranging the names by the single letter, the first letters of the names spells out the message BOMBURST HENCHMAN IN VULGARIA, cluing the answer CHILD CATCHER.
