Just a small python script to showcase the idea. The idea is to print the QR fragments onto transparent paper and hand them out.

Wouldn’t a better scheme be to use Shamir’s secret sharing [1] and (if you really want QR codes) generate a QR code for each “share” of the secret?

Indeed SSS would be better security wise. This implementation is easier to use for non tech people, e.g during a treasure hunt.
