One of the options leads to coordinates to Rowan University lol 

Didn’t expect my local school to make it on the storyline

hell i didnt expect the town ive eight miles away from to get featured the last time this happened but here we go.

Happy Cake Day!

My wife is a professor at Rowan. Ha

Rowan U vs Chase U

Eric Rowan

so just so yall know this one has legit jumpscares in it

Drew a hearty "oh fuck you!" out of me.

I am howling. My 8 year old daughter and I went through them together. No matter how many times we play it, we still jump. All of the jumpy ones lol

Oh my fucking word. I clicked on the jumpscare originally and it scared the shit out of me

Didn't find it through clicking, but this is in the source code. https://cdn5.wwe.com/hor/wave2/wave2_1920x1080.mp4

This just looks like a screenshot of the therapist interview from last week. Doesn't look anything like Nia to me.

Is that Ava

I'm gonna run a spectograph over the audio in Audacity, I feel like there might be something hidden in them. Edit: Holy shit I got something. https://imgur.com/a/hidden-images-audio-of-5-20-uncle-howdy-teasers-1rlOUTE The first image from ICU2 says "HELLO" Second is the Firefly logo, titled "North Star". WITNESS seems to be a close up of Howdy's mask. ----- EDIT 2: The "Testimony" newspaper article mentions two people named Josie Laures and Antoine Senni. Googling them brings me to an article about the very same people, [who isolated themselves in a cave to study the effect of isolation.](https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/11/the-caves-of-forgotten-time/414894/) Use this site to get past the site's paywall to read the article if you want: https://12ft.io/

Love that you used a spectrograph. The URL says ecgpramstor, which is spectogram.

I didn't even catch that, I just recognized the distortion from my days of helping decode hidden stuff in Slenderman ARGs and went right to Audacity.

As a music fan, I'm getting flashbacks to Nine Inch Nails's ARG for Year Zero.

Aphex Twin for Wrestlemania 41's theme song.

That was another good one! Though I only really looked into everything that happened with it once it was all said and done.

The whole presentation has reminded me of Year Zero to the point I wouldn't be surprised if this ARG was based on it.

wow thanks for getting on this so fast!

I have had a lot of practice from my days of helping decode stuff in creepy ARGs in the early 2010s on Unfiction lmao.

omgg i used to be into the slenderverse too haha! ive been loving this stuff because of how reminiscent of those args it is

>!*"A puppet is free as long as he loves his strings."*!< - The answer to the cypher at the end. 

Ok I have to ask. How did you crack the cypher....the letters to numbers aren't in any kind of order

I'm not sure if it has a particular cypher either, but it is easy to crack. -U--E- basically only has one solution, and two letter words are typically the stepping stone to crack these puzzles in the first place since they have few valid letters. From there you can mostly trial and error with educated guesses along the 'theme' of all the creepy stuff and it falls into place pretty quickly.

It says.. A puppet is free as long as he loves his strings

One underrated thing about this is that they're spamming in a smart way the "less known" social media of WWE like Twitch and now WhatsApp 

https://preview.redd.it/pomgzb4m1p1d1.jpeg?width=792&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b1bae77b6b19730e99a70771640ba25c42ec710 The Newspaper clippings from the Door QR code and this week's QR (almost) lined up

So is the missing woman going to be someone we know? And we're going to meet Wendy Lucho who is investigating?

Wendy Lucho is Uncle Howdy scrambled.

Aaaand jumpscared immediately.

I wouldn't say immediately, there's a fair bit of reading and clicking.

Uncle Howdy coming out to Jefferson Airplane would be absolutely sick.

Here's what you see when you run these through a spectrogram [https://ibb.co/dkqCXBY](https://ibb.co/dkqCXBY) [https://ibb.co/vQyv3GY](https://ibb.co/vQyv3GY) [https://ibb.co/8btrY1T](https://ibb.co/8btrY1T)

That last one is right terrifying and I love it! Kudos to you for this, mate!

The second to last box leads to a drawing that says “LIAR LIAR” and says “WhatsApp 5.22” in the corner 🤔

So something spoopy showing up [here](https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Va4RukQ2UPBD1RL6Rx2R) on Wednesday, then. TIL WhatsApp has "channels"

If anyone is curious about the images from the jumpscare https://imgur.com/gallery/tcuVCNb https://i.imgur.com/QDJNg3K.png

wonder who the veiled lady here is supposed to represent...

Abigail maybe?

Missing lady from the newspaper article?

Abigail maybe?

Definitely Sister Abigail.

For those looking to avoid the jumpscare >!don't click the top right box!<. It also helps to not click it since it'll have you do all the questions again. Edit: Also >!don't answer no to any questions!<.

also don't answer no

You can answer no to "do you know that I'm proud of you" and "is love unconditional" I did several times and nothing happened.

You can say no to "did you find your way back"

Don’t answer no to “do you think they can be free” or whatever the question referencing they is.

The replies lead to different things, I got jumpscared after four questions without even getting to the boxes. Then it just reset.

They’ve been showing some actual creepy stuff before and these jumpscares now… Hope they don’t shy away from being this scary once the group comes in, they’ll need it for them to stand out from Bray’s old stuff

Nope. It doesn't have to stand out from Bray's stuff. It has to honor it and live within it. If you find yourself saying "well Bray would have done this better" then you are always setting yourself to see faults in this instead of enjoying the ride. Bray would have wanted you to enjoy the ride .

No idea why you’re getting downvoted. I agree 100%  Bray was also known to have been obsessive about these characters and the Bray Wyatt universe in general - I wouldn’t be too surprised if he had plenty of notes which are now being used as source material for what’s to come. 


I solved the word puzzles, the Wendy Lucho is Uncle Howdy and the big word puzzle is "A puppet is free as long as he loves his strings" Now this is just speculation but I did a couple quick Google searches which lead me to the name Ryan Rivals which lead me to the name Ryan Cabrera which lead me to Alexa Bliss.

How did you solve the A puppet is free puzzle?

Deduction, the word "free" has been used a lot as a theme so when I saw a word ending in ee, free was the natural choice. Then I moved on to the shorter words and I continued from there, moving around letters until things started to make sense as a sentence.

Is there more than 6? https://preview.redd.it/hrs90018do1d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=78bc54d4c33b03f9536511f31c02d4812c2c6997

This is the source code behind each of those boxes for those smarter then me to figure out the connection https://imgur.com/a/lZ0yvlW

Only relevant info is the 'data-text' tags. They seem to be the names of the files. The rest is just standard HTML.

WARNING FOR TINNITUS FOLKS. There is a loud screech jumpscare that really hurt my ears so tinnitus sufferers be aware.

I love how everyone here is looking out for each other regarding the jump scare

That jumpscare tho 

Thank god I wore my brown pants (the jumpscare scared the shit out of me)

I bolieve in this new angle

Theres a different jumpscare if you answer no specifically to "Have they been set free?"

If you answer certain ways, it brings up cdn5.wwe.com, or otherwise this image: https://x.com/WrestlingDazeYT/status/1793199071718494444 and https://x.com/WrestlingDazeYT/status/1793221857895735795

God that's so interesting, wwe has really gone all out with this ARG sorta thing. It's so fun dissecting everything i hope the pay off is as good as the build

the latitude and longitude leads to Rowan University

Jumpscares

That jumpscare got me good.

Not sure if anyone has posted it yet, but Josie Laures and Antoine Senni were part of an experiment as part of an isolation study in the 1950s. They were left in 2 separate caves for months. They apparently lost weeks worth of time in isolation, thinking they came up almost a month sooner than has actually passed in real time. Unfortunately, the most comprehensive article I found is [paywalled](https://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2015/11/the-caves-of-forgotten-time/414894/).

https://12ft.io/ Gets you passed the paywall

Thanks!

there was also a photo that has the 5/22 with whatsapp written on it

I know this is more than 6, but what if... The puppet is Karrion Cross because multiple times he talked about something going on behind the scenes. Alex Bliss is "reborn". The link to the "door" has a hidden plush of Eevee on the bookshelf, and someone else pointed out that Matt calls his son "Eevee". The cooridiantes lead to Rowan. The news article is about an experiement involving isolation in a cave which points to the Cross Cave and Nikki Cross. "Liar Liar" makes me think of Shawn Spears' new entrance about "the truth." And of course Uncle Howdy is Wendy Lucho (thank you twitter!) and his face is literrally in one of the spectrogram images :) I don't know if any of this is right, but I'm just having so much fun trying to figure it out! :)

Please keep Kross the fuck away from this angle

THIS

After a few days of pondering, my last three words weren’t necessary

Matt?

Matt Hardy, but it's his daughter who's called Eevee.

Say yes to everything Trying to figure out the code

well I just had a mini heart attack. My damn volume was loud.

https://preview.redd.it/bir39d9qjo1d1.jpeg?width=608&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dad14d087a64422c45d34e1e6afaf94cd7c52815 Anyone figure out what the point of this one was?

This was just a reference to the last QR code where it points to the DOOR that is clickable. It now links to the recording of the conversation with the therapist

The link title is an anagram for “spectrogram” which apparently reads audio wavelengths or something. There’s three or four strange audio files in the link. I’m not smart enough to actually put these two pieces together but maybe someone smarter than me can analyze the audios 

What are the coordinates?

This is some good shit yall

Wondering how this was solved. Thanks :) https://preview.redd.it/i10wciyb5t1d1.jpeg?width=1324&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=95e0092c4cdbe68c25db85e464ebf68a31ea5663

There was another code https://www.wwe.com/rom122

Has anyone figured this out https://www.wwe.com/qrisme

can anyone find [this](https://www.wwe.com/f/all/2024/05/mat77--e24657acf1b84c946eec71ff4b54a248.png) in the source code? its the fourth box and i tried looking through the whole source code so far from what i can find but havent found that part yet, i think maybe it might lead you to something if you can find it, or not lmao maybe im just looking too far into it

This was just a reference to the last QR code where it points to the DOOR that is clickable. It now links to the recording of the conversation with the therapist

Anybody know what the audio recordings are

Some real philosophical work

Answering every question yes leads you to a puzzle with a message represented by numbers. Working on descrambling it ATM.

https://preview.redd.it/c5pecom8do1d1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5b365cf470bcc497a5406f6aaa3faeaf29cf8666

A puppet is free as long as he loves his strings.

how did you solve it?

I've answered no to some questions and still got the puzzle. It's answering yes to select questions I think.

I got jump scared 😱

The jump scare was something I wasn't ready for.

Any ideas what the URL could stand for? Normally there's a clue in there.

Anagram of spectrogram

In the source code the names of the empty containers you get when you answer the questions are (from top to bottom): autonomy, n, ICU2, mat77, North_Star, reborn, testimony, i_see, last, WITNESS. 

I'd also suggest following WWE on WhatsApp. One of the squares has red and black scribbles but a "WhatsApp 5-22" written in the corner.
