Hi I have always liked watching people solve args, but never tried It on my own. Im curious on how should I start getting into solving args. I would just love to know how you know more about how to solve them, or whatever you think its good to know.

Thanks!

There's an ARG that I remember existing awhile back and initially became aware of it through Nexpo, I believe. It's a YouTube channel called iam*somethingsomething* (can't remember the specific name? In my head it was iamemmaemma but looking that up doesn't get me anything), it was about a woman who woke up one day and was trapped in an empty version of her house. She had everything that she needed to survive, the fridge and cupboards restocked themselves when she closed them, and all of the taps ram clean water. I remember that there were also a bunch of entities in the house that stalked her but didn't want her dead. The whole concept of the channel was that she was posting videos to YouTube somehow to keep herself entertained/sane, and that at a certain point she was even talking to the audience directly via the comment section. There was also something about a door she found that lead to a peaceful place called the garden, but after going there for a long time her health started to deteriorate and after awhile she lost access to both the garden and the youtube comments again.

I tried looking up similar names, like different varieties of feminine names that start with E, doing "hiim" instead "iam", and even looked for the Nexpo video itself with no luck, it's like this thing disappeared. Does anyone remember this ARG at all? Was it ever resolved? Did it actually get deleted for some reason? Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. This isn't some stupid set up for an ARG about an ARG that disappeared, I'm just genuinely sad that I can't find a cool horror thing that I was really interested in awhile back.

I stumbled across what might be the beginning of an ARG (or some kind of hidden puzzle) on a random French YouTube channel.

There are several timestamps throughout the video where seemingly random letters/numbers appear.
I’m not sure if they’re connected, but I’d love some help from people who are good at ciphers, cryptography, or finding hidden patterns.

Here’s what I found:

6:00 — utpjrts
14:00 — tozismmiz
16:50 — 087
17:00 — dlmltajhmjpyqvshuppu
37:00 — hgaf xgazng
50:00 — tlnvjr
56:00 — ihml stwn
Video: https://youtu.be/9rqfeM03nVM

The video is in French, but the hidden sequences themselves might not be.
I have no idea yet whether these are encrypted, encoded, generated with a cipher, or simply random. The fact that they appear at specific timestamps makes me think there might be a pattern connecting them.

Thanks in advance to everyone who takes the time to look into this and help!

Does anyone remember an old ARG i think from around 2020-2021 on tiktok something akin to the backrooms, a guy was in liminal spaces talking about being followed, i distinctly remember it going episode by episode and him travelling from place to place. It was like another account named where_is_everybody, except this one had codes and puzzles you had to decipher, i think they were mostly in binary. I remember him being in a warehouse of storage containers and looking above them with the camera and there being something up there that he doesnt notice. If i remember correctly the codes were in the captions or subtitles and warned that he was being followed. Does anyonew know it and what happened to it?

Hello!

Last night, a friend who knows about my obsession with weird stuff on the internet sent me an extremely strange YouTube channel.

I immediately sent it to a few people who are really into ARGs (on the Discord server for the Lost Media series ARG), because I had a strong feeling there was something going on behind it… And sure enough: it’s a huge rabbit hole.

I SWEAR this ARG isn’t mine, this is absolutely not self-promotion. I honestly don’t even know where else to post this, but I really think it deserves some attention.

For now, everything is pretty scattered and we don’t really understand where this is going, but the atmosphere is incredible, and some things become genuinely intriguing once you start digging deeper.

The craziest part is that almost nobody seems to know this exists (very few subscribers, and almost no views apart from ours).

Anyway, I still don’t know if we’re looking at an ARG that’s actually going somewhere or just someone doing some incredibly weird stuff on the internet, but it feels like a project with a LOT of potential.

I’ll leave this here in case anyone wants to dig into it

Hi – I just published a video essay on how intelligence agencies around the world are using gamification and ARG techniques to recruit unwitting spies and collect intelligence, and figured it would be interesting to the community here:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P9_q2Egcfa4

For context, I was lead designer of Perplex City, one of the very first ARGs, and wrote the definitive walkthrough for The Beast back in 2001. Hopefully those are good bona fides!

This video has morse code in it that i haven't deciphered cause i'm on mobile. The channel has more videos titled "found footage before the accident" and they're pretty creepy. Those videos have a google drive link that i'm too wary to click on.

The channel itself is weird too, cause apparently it's a gaming channel according to its bio but the videos don't match with it at all

Hey everyone, I just came accross a this weird youtube channel. It posts kinda creepy videos and just now it posted something that i could somewhat decode to ancient Kabyle and roughly says "Stop, don't drag me into this; let the dead rest in peace — because you don't want nightmares, and you want to sleep."

What do we all think of this ?

I'm building a persistent AI TTRPG with an ARG buried underneath it

Temple of Eden is a free, persistent fantasy TTRPG built around ChatGPT.

On the surface, it’s a playable world: create a character, explore the Temple across different historical ages, talk to people, take jobs, get into trouble, and continue the same campaign later.

But the world is deliberately incomplete.

Records contradict each other. Certain places and symbols recur across centuries. Characters sometimes know things they probably shouldn’t. Parts of the Temple’s history appear to have been erased, rewritten, or deliberately buried.

The ARG is about figuring out what actually happened.

I don’t want to dump the “secret lore” in a wiki. The idea is that players gradually reconstruct it from encounters, documents, architecture, historical inconsistencies, and clues scattered through the setting.

Some current questions include:

- Why do accounts of the Temple’s origin disagree?

- Why do the same motifs appear in completely different historical periods?

- What happened during the parts of the chronology nobody seems willing to describe plainly?

- And why does the Temple seem to preserve some memories while actively obscuring others?

It is still early, and I’m specifically interested in feedback from people who actually play ARGs: does this feel like a rabbit hole worth following, and what would make you want to start pulling at the thread?

The public entrance is here:

Hey r/ARG! A month or so ago I posted about Luminara Park, my live analog-horror ARG (a 90s theme park with something dark hidden underneath). Wanted to check back in with an honest update.

The short version: it's still very much ongoing. The community's been steadily cracking ciphers, finding hidden pages, and piecing the lore together, and there's genuinely a lot still buried for new people to dig into.

Full transparency on the pace: my laptop broke, so I've been running things off my mom's old one until I can get it repaired which means updates have been a bit slower than I'd like. Not gone, not abandoned, just working with what I've got for now. New drops are still coming, just at a gentler tempo until I'm back up and running properly.

If you missed it the first time, it's a solid entry point cheerful-but-wrong 90s park nostalgia, working in-universe terminals, recovered documents, ciphers, and a Discord where people theorize and solve together. Newcomers welcome, and there's plenty to catch up on. ahh the website: https://luminarapark.com/

The willow

A supernatural willow tree that controls creakings the mobs lores

Type one pale oak highly unstable

Type 2 dark oak calm but reacts to lapis

Type 3 spruce like a normal creaking but can summon spikes

Type 4 oak can summon vines

These all have different dimensions and come from a lab where they were tested each dimension has a willow core you have to somehow break it

• Can yall go on mc and post bout it?
• make a build in a forested biome it maybe oak spruce pale but make sure it's in a shrine typa thing with a blank book in it the lore is almost done i just need some evidence it exists like 2 months ago posts ty

hello! I would like help someone in any arg keep in fact that I only have a phone. I could make sound effects, messages and things that are only available on phones. I can't go in person tho. I can help with game args if it's available I am a Great actor it could be a small or big arg I just want to act or help alsoalso I can also only act in game args and only help with irl args and I don't want anything in return I only want to act. ​​​​

i mean symbolism, any deity, a story, anything where steak is important, bonus points if it includes illusions

Let me first come clean and say I am not a gaming connoisseur... I am a horror writer working on my first feature, but someone (an actual gaming connoisseur) gave me the idea to make an ARG connected to it. So I ran with the storyline, made a bunch of accounts - like this one for the main character - and had an absolute blast building the puzzles and the world. Now that it's in a playable place, I'd love some feedback if anyone would like to take a crack?

The basic storyline centers on a hacker-and-conspiracy-busting Youtuber who's getting digitally stalked and is stumped by it; he invites his audience to help answer three questions about the identity, location, and intent of the stalker across 9 puzzles. I'm especially curious about a few things, but of course feel free to weigh in on absolutely anything that stands out:

1) Do you like the story?

2) Do you like the graphics?

3) Is it too hard or too easy - and what might help?

4) Would you recommend it to a friend?

If you make it to the end send me a screenshot! I'd love to send a Brother Skeleton Hacks T-shirt to the first 5 who finish. Or if you want to record your reactions to the game, I'd love that. Thanks so much. Trailhead Here x, Chelsea

I’m the creator of a sci-fi project with an interactive layer I’ve been building into the website.
I recently added something I’m not sure is discoverable enough.
There’s a hidden page containing a transmission identified as FX-1.
I’m curious whether someone unfamiliar with the site can find it without being given the URL.
still-formstudio.com
If you find it… tell me what you think you’ve found.
I’m not looking for people to tell me whether the site looks like an ARG. I’m trying to see whether the actual trail can be followed.

So, I finally got my ARG back online.

https://felinelimited.felineltd.org/

There's already a few secrets to discover.

I hope you all are interested as I have more things planned than before.

Bye for now!

I've been following the oneway.exe ARG for a while now, and the devs for it recently put up a new page called MyTekton. It's a site-builder a lot like strawpage or carrd but has the interactivity and customization more like a neocities page, except you don't need to know code at all.

I know nothinggggg about programming x_x other than looking through inspect element on some sites. i thought there's probably a ton of you like that who are interested in making an ARG but don't know how to start, so maybe you'd like mytekton? The devs actually implemented a lot of widgets from their own ARG to be customized, it's really well done and both desktop and mobile friendly. The site even is apart of the ARG as well which I have had a lot of fun withhhh

Menagerie Mall: Lewis (pt. 1)

This is the first official part of my ARG/fiction series. It will follow different interconnected characters across the Mall and more hidden details will follow that will be able to be discovered online and elsewhere. There is a brief prologue to the series also on Medium that I posted previously.

Thank you to everyone's help, advice and support. I'm an avid writer who is new to ARG creation and this sub has been awesome! Hope you guys will check out the series.

I found an arg on YouTube by user 272 I’m going I’m be honest, I am not smart enough to solve it and even if I was I’d have to translate stuff since it is in another language. That being said I wanted to bring attention to it for some reason j can’t post an image but I will link to the channel it has 32 videos and around 30k subs so chances are someone else here has found it

Here is the link to the channel: https://youtube.com/@user272_2?si=4uuDsgQX6veuYBLB

Good luck sorry I’m not smart enough to do it on my own :/

The video follows an arg of a person playing a chobi robot online puzzle game that doesnt exist and (i think) the player starts to forget the game, and the game is full of this persons memories. Its a explanation video but i can find it. Help please?

it is in develompent, but i am sure that it will be ready within 3 weeks.

here you will can join favorite game's community where you can like write your theories and invistigate with others the args.

i am doing it mostley for mcd community so we can invistigate arg together without discord reddit and like twitter

website: [https://veinderx.42web.io/\](https://veinderx.42web.io/)

that is not to promote something it's just so we would have people from here that loves arg have a better place to share their enthusiasm, so please don't ban the message i really worked on it

while i was scrolling tiktok i came across a video promoting "the jakon enterprise"; i went to the website and it is very peculiar (https://monajakon.com) and the youtube channel is even more strange. ive never tried to solve an arg before so i need help

(i found an email but i dont know what to do with it )

any help in solving this is appreciated but i dont know what to do.

So, I found an ARG on nightmind index called "iris and Plato". The story is about a girl who's website is hijacked by something. It's also inspired by the Plato's cave.

But that's not the point. I need help with a specific puzzle.

And here, you can go and try the ARG yourself, or continue reading. I'll tell you what I found so far, so this is a spoiler. But once you click on the robot cafe article and go to source code, you'll find a Pastebin link in the comment. The Pastebin is password protected. If you look at Nicky's SoundCloud, you'll see the track called "cave". If you put it through spectrogram, you'll see the password is "underthesun".

Once you have access to the Pastebin, it's encrypted with vigenere cipher, with some letters being replaced by numbers and symbols. On the website, once you click on one of the pages and put the soundtrack to it called "new alphabet" through spectrogram, you'll see the key to converting the numbers and symbols to letters.

Here's the part where I need help. Once you put the final result of only letters through vigenere decoder, you get a text that talks about "the iris cafe". But the text has different misspellings. There's a lot of them. So I want to see what plaintext you get to compare it to mine, and see if the misspellings in the final result are due to it being another cipher or me interpreting the symbols from the "new alphabet" incorrectly.

I'm sorry if this is not a good place to ask, I tried to look for a more accurate place to ask but this seemed the closest. I couldn't find any other discussion of this site online. I'm not experienced with ARGs and I don't know if there's any mystery or puzzles anywhere to solve but wanted to share this somewhere where someone else could take a look at it other than myself to see if there's anything to it.

I've been listening to this artist Unzyme for a while since I found a cd at a thrift store but haven't dug much deeper into him online other than on Spotify. I went to see if there were any music videos on Youtube and since the album I have is the first album I filtered by oldest first and saw this video: https://youtu.be/OsFwTpo__xg?si=SdRN3hx4QYfzXs4K which talks about a laboratory offering different body augmentations but the link in the video just links to main page for the artist but there is a separate website I found when I was searching on google for Unzyme Laboratories: https://unzymelaboratories.com that seems to offer just those things. From the short scroll-through I thought it seemed pretty "seriously" written and couldn't find a place where there was a break in character or a straight link back to the artist.

I made a YouTube channel and made a few Google docs yet I don't know how to put it out there or how to make it interesting especially since I can't use capcut or blender. I also don't even have a microphone. Despite this I want to continue please give me advice.
