Someone’s past the first level: Are we making Endgame too complicated?

Looking for stories about the THIRD Endgame Contest? Check out our latest article here.


There’s some speculation that making Endgame really complicated is the wrong way to go. For example, some people found the 121212 passphrase through complicated videos and such. However, the answer was also hidden in plain sight within the book itself.

In fact, at least one person has solved KeplerFuturistics’ first puzzle, and claims this was not done through 12 12 12. Of course, it’s hard to know what to believe on the Internet, but it’s something to consider. Here’s the proof that it was solved:

Soooo…. What’s next? Is Natasha a red herring? Is the answer in the sausage? Or somewhere completely different? Would love to hear your thoughts, either via comment or by contacting me.

    1. when it takes me to the pedestal it always gives me an Error 505 page? no clue what to do. anything you guys can think of

      1. A lot of people have that issue. You need to make sure you’re using Chrome, first of all. If it still gives you problems, there are some Chrome extensions you can add that might help. If you still have problems using Chrome, try an extension to help, maybe the WebGL inspector extension for Chrome.

    2. Is the first circle supposed to open when you find the password to the el121212 site? It hasn’t done anything for me.

      1. from what i know, after putting in the password, it leads to another website, which you do not need to sign in. Thus, i am guessing that there will be more riddles until at one page, where you need to sign in, which is then how Futuristic can track your progress.
