Es como si compitieran para ver quien tiene los motivos más extraños y pintorescos. No es que exista tal competencia, pero así parece por lo extremo del caso.

"...y por los motivos más extraños o más pintorescos del mundo..."

"A cual más" significa eso en ese contexto y más aún, pero el "más aún" no tiene traducción.

Maybe something like "each of them vying for being stranger"...
Or "they were so strange, it was hard to pick one up as the strangest".
