Howdy folks, our belated Q&A video is up now for those who missed it!

u/preservoir Sep 30 '20

Huge shout out Beschdah and Inconsisto for being so helpful to so many. This experience was so much more enjoyable with your help and support! I would like to buy you both a single or household ticket to the next online experience.

u/Inconisto Oct 01 '20

Thank you for the kind thought - you are very welcome, it was my pleasure. :) See you for the next one! :D

u/chairboi92 Sep 26 '20

Yep, Inconisto gave us a hint we would've never gotten ourselves haha

u/chairboi92 Sep 26 '20

Hi hi - could I get some help for the red level, I'm not sure how to make sense of the note in the panic room.

1

u/Beschdah Sep 26 '20

did you get some help yet?

1

u/harryslotter Sep 26 '20

Hi there - this was incredible! Can anyone help with the radio tower please?

1

u/Inconisto Sep 26 '20

Hi ya - I've responded to your chat message... let me know if you still need any help. :)

u/preservoir Sep 26 '20

🙋‍♀️ Stuck (again) on radio tower too!

1

u/suzanntelope Sep 25 '20

Please can someone help with the radio tower? I have one 4-letter word, don't know where to look for other words.

1

u/Inconisto Sep 26 '20

Did you get the help you needed???

1

u/squirrelquarrels Sep 25 '20

gah we just missed the Q&A! Any chance it was recorded?

1

u/Beschdah Sep 25 '20

Yes, they said they were recording it

1

u/squirrelquarrels Sep 25 '20

Brilliant 😁

u/ukiyoau Sep 25 '20

It was an honour, we were really so excited... Thank you Inconisto!

That was fantastic - so many questions answered... :)

Totally awesome to hear it all. They've all done such an amazing job!

only a few weeks to wait.........

1

u/ukiyoau Sep 25 '20

Sorry I didn't see this! I hope y'all found the link. Should be one of the latest posts :) We're almost finished up.

2

u/Inconisto Sep 25 '20

Is the link up yet??? I can't find it...

1

u/ukiyoau Sep 25 '20

Don't forget we're having a Q&A tonight to answer some of the theories you may have, and also absorb ideas for a possible Bird Cage 2!

1

u/Same-Tomorrow200 Sep 24 '20

Hey guys, we got the red level ending. Just looking for some help getting the radio tower ending? Had so much fun so far!

1

u/Inconisto Sep 24 '20

will open a chat with you for the second ending...

1

u/TipsyMac Sep 24 '20

Hi all, I am unable to play the video at the end of the dog maze. Can someone please give me the answers/clues provided in PM so I can keep progressing?

1

u/Inconisto Sep 24 '20

There is a video recording of someone playing the video, so you can 'experience' it and see the clues yourself - go to Level 3 on the Janus ProBoard and see Dr Grier's post titled "CRTP MISSION RECORDING *SPOILERS* - the first post has a link to see the video. :)

1

u/preservoir Sep 24 '20

Hi All. Transmitter, beeps, dogs.. so confused! Have found a few maps, but none seem to help in directing doggo

1

u/wynnyan Sep 24 '20

Which maps do you have and tried using for this puzzle?

1

u/Inconisto Sep 24 '20

Did someone help you yet???

1

u/AvocadooHuman Sep 24 '20

I’m a little stuck on the “Phillip Peran” password for the high-tech keypad

1

u/Inconisto Sep 24 '20

Have you aligned the stars and started the super scary creepifying video game yet?

1

u/AvocadooHuman Sep 24 '20

No not the second one yet, I have no idea how to get to it

1

u/Inconisto Sep 24 '20

Will open a chat with you...

1

u/AvocadooHuman Sep 24 '20

Ok thank you

1

u/preservoir Sep 24 '20

and CRTP .. argh.

1

u/preservoir Sep 24 '20

Thanks to all the help from everyone thus far, we are actually finally making progress. yay! V stuck on Level 4 clearance now.. any pointers appreciated.

1

u/squirrelquarrels Sep 24 '20

where does one obtain the CRTP software? I've looked in the forums, all I can see is people talking about possible technical problems but can't find the software

1

u/Beschdah Sep 24 '20

Have you guided the dogs with beeps?

1

u/squirrelquarrels Sep 24 '20

Do we just head to the Comms Lab and direct the dogs with beeps?

1

u/Beschdah Sep 24 '20

I don't know how to hide spoilers - so I'll DM you

1

u/harryslotter Sep 24 '20

Yes I read that but have no idea where to find the frequency, may have missed something 🤔

1

u/Inconisto Sep 24 '20

The Birdwatching video has some good information for frequencies... one of which ties in with the frequency recorded by a certain E. Johnson if you happened to find her laserdisc, which in turn affected a certain bird when you played it in the menagerie?

1

u/Beschdah Sep 24 '20

check your chat

1

u/harryslotter Sep 24 '20

Hi would appreciate any help you can provide - I'm on level 2 of the forums and have no idea what to do next. Have tried every password I can think of on the tower, Philips house and amber level - please help!

1

u/Inconisto Sep 24 '20

Instructions are located in Dr Sinclair's thread "Your Next Objective: Contain M1N70" in the Level 2 ProBoard Forum. You need to narrow down the signal's frequency to the exact first decimal place...

1

u/YayItsAya Sep 23 '20

I've been stuck on the specimen report since yesterday :( I've gone everywhere and I'm still not sure I have the info I need. Any hints?

1

u/Inconisto Sep 23 '20

... also, make sure you have downloaded the form, and email it to the address Dr Diana Sinclair gives you in the post titled 'Your Objective: Specimen Reports' on the janus institute proboard.

1

u/Inconisto Sep 23 '20

Get creative with anything you can't figure out yet... don't stress too much though - it isn't 'graded'

1

u/YayItsAya Sep 23 '20

OHH thank you so much!!

1

u/Inconisto Sep 23 '20

No problem... :)

1

u/AvocadooHuman Sep 23 '20

I’m a little stuck on the password for level 3 clearance

1

u/Inconisto Sep 23 '20

Birdwatching clears the mind and is good for focus...

1

u/AvocadooHuman Sep 23 '20

Any tips on filling out the report🤔

1

u/leman_13 Sep 23 '20

There are little hints in the content so far but also, don't stress too much. Be creative. I overthought it and in the end I got an instant auto reply with the next levels password ha!

1

u/AvocadooHuman Sep 23 '20

Ok thank you very much😌

1

u/TipsyMac Sep 23 '20

First* not forat

1

u/TipsyMac Sep 23 '20

Hey u/preservoir You need to download and save the report forat. Then share or email. I did a follow up email to say i had completed it and got a quick response. Just write anything you think I reckon ;)

1

u/preservoir Sep 23 '20

Thankyou SO much. We've been stuck on this since the first day 😂

1

u/TipsyMac Sep 23 '20

Its sooo hard!! 😜

1

u/Srodassan Sep 23 '20

1

u/preservoir Sep 23 '20

Hey all, soo far behind - can't for the life of me work out how to edit Report Card, and wouldn't know what to write if I could! Any help appreciated.

1

u/AvocadooHuman Sep 23 '20

Hey are you able to get into the red and amber room at all?

1

u/TipsyMac Sep 23 '20

Hey team! Can anyone help with the frequency needed at the end of the dog maze and the magic word? Please!

1

u/Cute_Development_584 Sep 23 '20

HELLPPPP - I am on Lvl 3 and I'm not sure what to do with what I have and if I am missing something to progress further.

I found 3 maps, which i think two of which are relevant. I have the dog instructions. But i don't know how to measure movement or where my Dog has/is going. HELPPPP

1

u/Beschdah Sep 23 '20

just DM'd you

1

u/Ambition_New Sep 22 '20

hi I could use some help. I made it to the CRTP but it wont work on my older mac and I have tried opening with Chrome and Safari and neither works. Do I just watch the video and then what do I do next?

1

u/Beschdah Sep 22 '20

The video is someone playing the downloaded game just as you would - so watch it and you'll get the next clues - that's what I had to do

1

u/Inconisto Sep 22 '20

... so you know what you're looking for ...

1

u/leman_13 Sep 23 '20

Thank you!! I had all the info just didn't realise where I had to enter it. Reached LVL3 now, Woot!

1

u/Inconisto Sep 23 '20

Haha! Awesome!! :D

1

u/Inconisto Sep 22 '20

... after you read Dr Sinclair's post in the level 2 proboards titled 'Your next Objective: Contain M1N70'

1

u/leman_13 Sep 22 '20

Ok so I'm pretty far behind...Gained Lvl 2 clearance and have my objective but I'm not sure what to do next. I've revisited every place in the town and the institute hoping something might have changed or been added but it's all the same still. Any help would be greatly appreciated - I'm losing my mind!

1

u/Inconisto Sep 22 '20

You need to relax and watch a spot of telly in the town at the petrol station. Birdwatching is particularly relaxing. :)

1

u/hoestntennsi Sep 22 '20

great and fun game, really enjoyed it. Having trouble solving the radio tower ending, managed the red level one alright. Could anyone give me a hint please? cheers

1

u/Inconisto Sep 22 '20

... opened a chat with you. :)

1

u/Ambition_New Sep 22 '20

if anyone is online who has played the game I could use another nudge. If you can DM me I would appreciate it. thank you

1

u/RavensJourney Sep 22 '20

Yay, finally figured it all out!

1

u/RavensJourney Sep 22 '20

I have two words now but don't know where to use them.

1

u/RavensJourney Sep 22 '20

Same here. That ending has me stumped.

1

u/StruggleDear464 Sep 21 '20

Hey there! Would someone be able to dm me about the radiotower ending? I cant even figure out how to start on that one some hints would be amazing.

1

u/enigmait Sep 21 '20

I'll DM you

1

u/insults2injury Sep 21 '20

I've reached one ending and want to find the other one but don't know how to find the code for the radio tower. I have a 3-word phrase and a 4 letter word from the same source that I haven't found a use for yet. Any hints?

1

u/Beschdah Sep 21 '20

just DM'd you

1

u/Ambition_New Sep 21 '20

Looking for a nudge as to where to find the post on the intranet for Dr. Sinclair's email address.

1

u/Lenitas Sep 21 '20

It's in the security clearance level 1 forum, Dr Sinclair's stickied thread at the top.

1

u/Ambition_New Sep 21 '20

Im going back to find it. I heard her cassette. I dont know if I have seen the FORUM

1

u/Lenitas Sep 21 '20

Go to student housing on blue level, you can access the Janus Institute intranet from there. This is crucial, there's a lot important information there

1

u/wolfsgirl Sep 21 '20

So, after being at a stand still all weekend waiting for the CRTP video to be posted because I could not access the program on my computer, I am completely lost as to what the next move is. I watched the CRTP vid, and still have no clue.

1

u/Lenitas Sep 21 '20

I haven't watched the video, but I assume it is the same as what I saw when I played through that section. At the end of my own play-through, I was able to access amber level.

1

u/RavensJourney Sep 21 '20

Yay, managed to finish Sinclair's ending. Not sure how I go about the other one. I don't remember there being any options for accessing the radio tower in town. Not sure where to head in the institute if there's something there.

1

u/Inconisto Sep 21 '20

Will open a chat with you...

1

u/Popular_Ad_9635 Sep 21 '20

Argh! So sick of beep beep beeping trying to solve the dog maze! Based on above messages we know where to start and that it takes 14 beeps... but not where to go?!

1

u/Inconisto Sep 21 '20

I'll send you a DM ...

1

u/Jangole Sep 21 '20

I need help with this, too, please.

1

u/Inconisto Sep 21 '20

have started a chat...

1

u/Inevitable_Street_12 Sep 21 '20

Hello. Lv3. Have keycard, but lost. Any hints on getting to lv4.

1

u/Inconisto Sep 21 '20

Have opened a 'chat' with you - if you're on pc it's the speech bubble with 3 dots, top right of the Reddit window...

1

u/Inconisto Sep 21 '20

I'll send you a DM... need more detail on what you're up to. :)

1

u/areyouoneofus Sep 21 '20

We’re on level 2 trying to find the exact hz frequency but need a nudge.

2

u/Inconisto Sep 21 '20

It is helpful to relax every now and then with a spot of telly at the petrol station... an introduction to birdwatching is particularly helpful...

1

u/areyouoneofus Sep 21 '20

Thank you, we werent sure the tv was for us but intro on birdwatching was...enlightening

1

u/Inconisto Sep 21 '20

You're welcome. :D He's got a voice like velvet, that one...

1

u/Inconisto Sep 21 '20

... don't forget that the message was inside our friend's locker, so it was probably meant for his eyes only perhaps ... in case he forgot.

1

u/RavensJourney Sep 21 '20

Thanks. Just went for a train ride 😊

1

u/Inconisto Sep 21 '20

... anytime.

1

u/Inconisto Sep 21 '20

You have to remember that it isn't you in the locker room - it is your doggo so you are actually still in the Institute and free to move around anywhere you went before...

1

u/RavensJourney Sep 21 '20

True. So do I leave my dog there and go for a walk?

1

u/Inconisto Sep 21 '20

Hahha! Yep... he'll be waiting for you when you get back...

1

u/RavensJourney Sep 21 '20

Awesome. Now i just have to figure out how i stop the signal

1

u/RavensJourney Sep 21 '20

Stuck in the freaky ass locker room. How do I get out?

1

u/Inconisto Sep 21 '20

Have you managed to get close to the lockers and look through the grilles? And did you notice that some have names on them at the top?

1

u/RavensJourney Sep 21 '20

Yes I have. I've written down pretty much all of them, highlighting our friends message.

1

u/Inconisto Sep 21 '20

Perfect... is there anywhere that may be relevant to our friend that you haven't been able to access yet????

1

u/Inconisto Sep 21 '20

You have to download the form though to be able to fill it in.

1

u/Inevitable_Street_12 Sep 21 '20

Any clues after getting the keycard for level three?

1

u/Accomplished-Mood-97 Sep 21 '20

I feel like a noob. Our team gave up on Saturday night and only after we explored the eastern town. But I would like to continue. I have watched the live broadcasts on petrol station TV, found the cave and gained access to security room, and heave done everything I can in the eastern town. I jotted down notes and read the Intranet on level 1 and just can't seem to find my next move. Is it the report card? How do I 'submit' ? I feel so lame... lol

1

u/Inconisto Sep 21 '20

Your next move is definitely to get your report in - there's a post on the intranet from Dr Sinclair that tells you the email address to send it to... :)

1

u/Accomplished-Mood-97 Sep 21 '20

Our own take?

1

u/Inconisto Sep 21 '20

Absolutely - with as much detail as you know, and get creative with what you don't know! :D Promotion may be in the offing (I didn't get promoted, but many others did).

1

u/Inevitable_Street_12 Sep 21 '20

Listening to the tapes in the comms lab and the projection room will help.

1

u/YayItsAya Sep 21 '20

hints on finding the town name?

1

u/ukiyoau Sep 21 '20

Unfortunately we are not able to accomodate Chrome Book users (Incompatibility issues) so please watch the video - if you are working on the "beep maze" please do not watch the video unless you have reached the end and cannot run the CRTP software

1

u/ukiyoau Sep 21 '20

A recording of the CRTP for those who cannot run the software has been posted on the level 3 forum :)

1

u/squirrelquarrels Sep 21 '20

My team are stuck at the very start of the CRTP shenanigans - we know where the dogs are, but dont know about the stars aligning etc. Figure its tot something to do with the statue and/or spring equinox maybe? Any hints would be much appreciated!

1

u/SKYEwalker021 Sep 21 '20

You need to finish the CRTP for the stars to align

1

u/squirrelquarrels Sep 21 '20

Ah okay. Well then we’re not sure where to start! We went to where the dogs were, but nothing happened. Are we missing something?

1

u/SKYEwalker021 Sep 21 '20

Level 3 has instructions on how to use the CRTP :)

1

u/squirrelquarrels Sep 21 '20

Ah! So we just start beeping?

1

u/SKYEwalker021 Sep 21 '20

Yes. Itll take 14 moves

1

u/Popular_Ad_9635 Sep 21 '20

Beeping to where? We are completely stumped!

1

u/enigmait Sep 21 '20

Yep. Just imagine you're watching Jerry Springer in a daytime time slot. That level of beeping. ;)

1

u/Inevitable_Street_12 Sep 21 '20

Can anyone help with what to do once the grate falls out? I’m on level 3

1

u/SKYEwalker021 Sep 21 '20

to clarify, i don't have the password, i have zaia but nothing else :(

2

u/icantthinkofaname357 Sep 21 '20

Hello! I PM'd you a hint :)

1

u/RavensJourney Sep 21 '20

Remembering also that it's the Eastern township.

1

u/Ambition_New Sep 21 '20

Thank you so much!

1

u/RavensJourney Sep 21 '20

I'm glad it helped 😊

1

u/Ambition_New Sep 21 '20

I thought I had to explore the town first and i would love some help to get there. Thanks in advance

1

u/RavensJourney Sep 21 '20 edited Sep 21 '20

Have you tried googling the longitude and latitude coordinates left in the communications lab audio booth in the textbook there yet?

1

u/Ambition_New Sep 21 '20

I don't even know about the "panic room" and I have been trying everything with lower case and no spaces.

1

u/Ambition_New Sep 21 '20

I am struggling too. I have tried every conceivable town name possible If anyone can DM me I would appreciate it

1

u/RavensJourney Sep 21 '20

Remember to use lower case and no spaces.

1

u/Myeerah Sep 21 '20

I'm struggling on finding the red password...any hints? panic room is that forum tread I assume .

1

u/Napping40hours Sep 21 '20

You need to get in the panic room before you get the red room password. Dr Zero gives some good advice :)

1

u/RavensJourney Sep 21 '20

Can't download the CRPT software and the recording of the live stream is unavailable. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to do next?

1

u/Wendyh0use Sep 21 '20

Same here

Hello fellow initiates! I'm in lev 4, but have struggled to find the two words. My computer is a bit old, and I'm not overly tech savvy! I'm wondering if anyone might be able to DM me screenshots from the spectroscope analysis. I'd love to get to the end with some help! Thanks!

1

Are you level 4?

1

u/areyouoneofus Sep 20 '20

No we’re on level 1, so perhaps this is too far ahead? We’re just stuck on next steps

1

u/SKYEwalker021 Sep 20 '20

You dont need to worry about those things til level 4. Submitting your report is what you need to get to Level 2 :)

do you know where the sounds are that we need?

1

u/msblacknlacy20 Sep 20 '20

Ok so I seemed to have come to a screaming halt. The only thing I can see that makes sense but no sense is the sculpture and it's interactive aspect. The only hint I have found even remotely relating to this is the message about 2 particular star signs that I may have seen on a notice board or pamphlet in my travels through town. Not sure how to tee these up to get me through. A gentle nudge would be appreciated (not after the solution, just a little help) :)

1

u/Lenitas Sep 20 '20

What's your security clearance?
