[fervent tartan]

Is it like

"only one can redeem the code"?

[onyx summit]

What's the code I can't loading videos

*load

[haughty light]

YZB-Q33A-YJLLC-YZB-I3QM

[stoic yacht]

A Steam code would be ''one person only'', but in that case steam just tells you that. This isn't a Steam code

[rough wind]

Oh maybe its not a steam code

[fervent tartan]

O

[rough wind]

Vigenere?

[haughty light]

could it be an itch code?

[frozen ermine]

yeah, it is to long for a steam/epic/gog key

[onyx summit]

Maybe it's not a game code at all?

[rustic geode]

Do Itch.Io has like... redemption keys?

[stoic yacht]

I think Itch is always account linked

You can ''redeem'' keys from bundles, but they're already a part of your account by then

I think

[rustic geode]

huh, maybe it's some kind of cipher then

[onyx summit]

Aye

Having to do with hotel dress codes?

[haughty light]

maybe hotel dress code is the cypher key.

[onyx summit]

What about that part with Miss Pheasant dress up?

[onyx summit]

Ooo

[haughty light]

I dont know any cyphers with numbers in them on the top of my head, though.

[rough wind]

Maybe its vigenere?

3 keys?

[onyx summit]

Never heard of Vigenere

[stoic yacht]

It only has 3's in it, yeah

[fluid mulch]

December riddle is too hard...

[fervent tartan]

The way they make everything connect at the end is what keeps me in this rusty lake community

[haughty light]

we've barely been at it for 30 minutes

[fervent tartan]

That's where the fun is

[stoic yacht]

There's 3 3's in the code and no other number

It's day 3

[onyx summit]

3rd letter of every word in hotel dress codes spells out TED

[fervent tartan]

O

[stoic yacht]

RUSTY LAKE IS HOSTING A TED TALK /S

[fervent tartan]

Aaaaaaaa

Like that ted yt channel where people talk to other people?

Dunno how to describe but love Ted

Ted talk

[stoic yacht]

It's not just a youtube channel, but yeah. Those

[fervent tartan]

Yes

[fervent tartan]

I mean I watch in yt (bad english sorry)

[onyx summit]

Frank has a teddy bear in Roots :O
Yes, I know I'm grasping at straws xD

[stoic yacht]

Aren't we all? XD

[rustic geode]

I think I'm overthinking

[onyx summit]

Which means the answer is in the well xP

[haughty light]

Actually

[frozen ermine]

what did you do?

[haughty light]

you might be onto something.

[stoic yacht]

!!

[rustic geode]

I looked onto second word

[onyx summit]

How are you doing that?

[rustic geode]

since there are double 3, it gotta be word with double letters

so I looked up 4 letter words with double letters in the middle

and boom, got
"Door" "Seed" and "Boom" but boom doesn't quite fit the theme

so I Fit the door and seed

[onyx summit]

:o

[fervent tartan]

My brain capacity is for math

You guys are too good for this 😔 👍

[frozen ermine]

YJLLC could be trees or tummy

[fervent tartan]

How

[onyx summit]

Oh trees

[frozen ermine]

ne, the e is already used

[fervent tartan]

It's an anagram

Oh

[rustic geode]

It can't be anagram

anagram usually doesn't got numbers in it

[fervent tartan]

O

No

[stoic yacht]

Yeah like, it could be this becomes clearer with more days

[onyx summit]

Oh

[fervent tartan]

Like the letters mean another specific letter

[frozen ermine]

if it is a sentence the C gives me major s vibes

[fervent tartan]

I'm slow

[coarse bloom]

could it be tells?

[frozen ermine]

just a feeling, but the door one seems to be the better one

if the 3 isnt the e, yes

[fervent tartan]

Can we google "words with 5 letters with repeated and consecutive two letters"

[onyx summit]

Taffy?

[fervent tartan]

There's got to be a site for this

[frozen ermine]

"the door tells the -od-"

[fervent tartan]

I will search for something I want to help

[rustic geode]

honestly, it makes sense but then

[coarse bloom]

the lastt word could be something like code

[frozen ermine]

i never heard this word

[onyx summit]

It's like gum

[haughty light]

Yep.

[onyx summit]

B is already E

[fervent tartan]

What is it called?

Anagram?

[coarse bloom]

oh right

[haughty light]

no its not an anagram

[fluid mulch]

isn' it Scytale?

[fervent tartan]

What's the name

[haughty light]

we dont know.

[fervent tartan]

For anagram we need letters that form another word right?

[fervent tartan]

Oh

[rustic geode]

I think this makes more sense

[fervent tartan]

Hm

[fervent tartan]

Wow this is good

[frozen ermine]

no. B and J cant both be E

[rustic geode]

I know, I know

that's why I was going to bring up that it's still wrong

[onyx summit]

WHAT IF every 3 represents the third letter in every word of hotel dress codes? Because there are three 3s?

[fervent tartan]

[haughty light]

YZB QTEA YJLLC YZB IDQM

would be wehn I move the threes.

[fervent tartan]

A letter is another specific letter

Like if B means A, all B in the code will be the letter A?

[haughty light]

it could be.

[fervent tartan]

Oh

[haughty light]

but we current don't know how it's encoded

if at all

[stoic yacht]

That's how most cyphers work, yeah

[fervent tartan]

Where's the doc thing

[haughty light]

Pinned,

[fervent tartan]

Better, how do I see pinned messages

[haughty light]

where it's always been.

on a phone?

swipe to the right

[fervent tartan]

yes

[haughty light]

click pinned messages

or left

[fervent tartan]

Oh (fixadas)

For a second my phone said "there is no pinned messages"

Thanks you

[maiden phoenix]

I am super confused

[onyx summit]

NoFlavor is probably watching us and laughing

[haughty light]

Yes!

that's very likely.

[maiden phoenix]

do the words on the door correspond with the content

[haughty light]

we don't know.

[maiden phoenix]

or they are the separate two riddles

or something

[haughty light]

we don't know!

[maiden phoenix]

calm down Damy

its just some suggestions

[haughty light]

I didn't mean to be dismissive of your suggestions.

[maiden phoenix]

I get it

I am trying to think of the link

[stoic yacht]

Text is terrible for tone

[fervent tartan]

Lol

[maiden phoenix]

it will get us to nowhere if we dont have a direct link to something

at least to a specific field or game

I guess we shall focus on Hotel

[fervent tartan]

I have the feeling the answer is told in before days

[haughty light]

that's unlikely.

[onyx summit]

What if YZB is "she"?

[fervent tartan]

Why

[haughty light]

because this is all new content

[fervent tartan]

Like "cube cave" in the stars

[haughty light]

what's the point of apuzzle if the answers already out there.

[fervent tartan]

Oh

[rustic geode]

the sentence wouldn't really make much of a sense then

[forest willow]

wait what is happening

[fervent tartan]

Advent calendar

[onyx summit]

It's just something my sister suggested

[fervent tartan]

Suggest read the document

[forest willow]

I... have no idea how it works but I'll take a look

[fervent tartan]

It's like

The letters mean another letter

Like "A means B, every A is a B"

[forest willow]

huh?

[haughty light]

Jonathans talking about this days video

[forest willow]

I guess I'll just leave it to you smart people lol

[forest willow]

I have to study for history anyway, so good luck there

[fervent tartan]

Like "JUHHA"
J = H
U = E
H = L
A = O
HELLO

[onyx summit]

No one said it was Pheasant :o
As I said before, we dressed up Pheasant in Hotel.
Hotel dress codes.
What were the three outfits?

[maiden phoenix]

I have an absurd idea

[haughty light]

Uhh good question

[maiden phoenix]

do the codes have something to do with colour?

[fervent tartan]

Tell us

[haughty light]

Color maybe

[fervent tartan]

Hm

[maiden phoenix]

like....colour code?

[stoic yacht]

RIght, but they're usually more consistent
So,
A B C D E F G H I
becomes
B C D E F G H I J

So the band ABBA would be called BCCB

[rustic geode]

wish me luck

getting on steam to test something out

[haughty light]

but usually hexcode colours are longer than three at least.

lmao.

[maiden phoenix]

yes those are what I am thinking of

but its just an absurd idea

[rustic geode]

I think I figured it out LMAO

[maiden phoenix]

so ignore me

[rustic geode]

but I gotta test it out

[haughty light]

wait whats up Rainy.

[fervent tartan]

TELL US

No

[onyx summit]

There were three outfits, there are three number 3s in the code... 🤔

[onyx summit]

👀

[rustic geode]

Let me test it out on steam to see if it'll show up as "whoops you already have the product"

[fervent tartan]

Maybe it's just 3 = E or something like that?

[stoic yacht]

I already tried, Steam doesn't recognize the code

[rustic geode]

hand it

dang it*

[fervent tartan]

What's this lmao

[frozen ermine]

can you still explain what you did?

[stoic yacht]

Translated:

[fervent tartan]

English translating pls

[fervent tartan]

Thanks

[rustic geode]

So I took the word "HOTEL DRESS CODES" and used Cesar decyphering

shifted it by 3, aka the day

[fervent tartan]

What's this

[fervent tartan]

What's this

[haughty light]

its the photos you take for ms pheasant in hotel.

[frozen ermine]

yeah, the code is still to long

[maiden phoenix]

thats too much big brain stuff

[fervent tartan]

Ya but

[gilded fjord]

What language is this hahahaha

[fervent tartan]

Why here

[onyx summit]

Thank you

[haughty light]

as Lynn pointed out

"Hotel Dress codes"

[fervent tartan]

Ohh

[haughty light]

we dress up Ms. Pheasant.

[fervent tartan]

Ohhhhhh

That make sense

[rustic geode]

I'll look up one last thing I had

[fervent tartan]

But how can we use those grades for?

[maiden phoenix]

can u use day 2 info here?

[rustic geode]

ok actually it won't work out lmao forget it

[fervent tartan]

I was wondering the same thing

[strange salmon]

Here waiting for the calendar

[fervent tartan]

But I was scared of having a message calling me dummy

[strange salmon]

Already released?

[rustic geode]

yea

[frozen ermine]

i just realised
HOTEL
DRESS
CODES
5 Letters each. could mean something. i mean.. they could have written code

[fervent tartan]

We trying to solve already

[fervent tartan]

Yes

5 letters

[rustic geode]

that's why I tried Cesar code

[strange salmon]

Can I have a link please?

[fervent tartan]

Sure

Wait a sec

[strange salmon]

Thank you

[maiden phoenix]

yep

[haughty light]

huh

perhaps.

lets see.

[rustic geode]

which would make sense if the word was "THE DOOR TELLS THE CODE"

[fervent tartan]

I'm almost very sure everything you need is here https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iLdg-gTYrkS7rASzOsfM6eAJRcxkra0efNiXWwpIxIQ/edit?usp=drivesdk

It's a doc our mods made

Links, everything

Inside of the document

[onyx summit]

The doc isn't loading for me agsudjsH I hate potato connection

[fervent tartan]

Oh no

Can I screenshot (mods?)

[haughty light]

Yes

why wouldn;t you be allowed

[fervent tartan]

Ok

[haughty light]

it's a public document lmao.

[fervent tartan]

Wanted to make sure

[dull parcel]

Ooooh today we have codes

Its my time to shine

[fervent tartan]

What day you want

[onyx summit]

Both

[haughty light]

miss pheasants in room 3.

[fervent tartan]

This is day 3

Oh

[maiden phoenix]

also, she dress as Lady of the lake

[fervent tartan]

Wait lol

Here

Day 3 contents

[onyx summit]

Thank you

[rough wind]

Ok, so, not vigenere

[fervent tartan]

Ur welcome

Let me take a clean screenshot wait a min

[stoic yacht]

What if it's 3 vigenére cyphers? And every ''round'' means doing something with one of the 3's (removing, moving around, i dunno)

Or I guess, one cypher with 3 keys

[strange salmon]

Okie, just saw Damy's picture. It's not a steam key and is very irregular to be any other kind of code, right? It's a ciphered message surely.

[rustic geode]

I think I kinda deciphered it

[frozen ermine]

yeah?

[maiden phoenix]

I have another mad idea, is it possible to be a web link

[rustic geode]

the one that I made is in the docs
I forgot to add a "T" in the third word

but It has to be "Tells" or something similar

[rough wind]

I tried the "steam code" with the keys "hotel" "dress" and "code" and nothing that made sense came up

[stoic yacht]

hmm

It feels like it should be obvious.

It's entirely possible we simply don't have all of the clues yet, though.

It's only dauy 3

[maiden phoenix]

fair enough

[frozen ermine]

if it is tells the YZB cant be the

[strange salmon]

There's a code that in Spanish we know as "Cifrado César" that const of moving the letters of the abecedary and the numbers a certain amount of times (there is the encryption) we can try with 3 that's today's number

[stoic yacht]

I can't wait for like, day 10 to hit and suddenly everything makes sense

[frozen ermine]

and if it is THE I3QM cant be code

[stoic yacht]

Caesar cypher?

[fervent tartan]

There we go

[strange salmon]

Yeah I didn't know how it was in English

[frozen ermine]

already tried that

[strange salmon]

Oh okay

[haughty light]

lmao

[fervent tartan]

Damy 😂

[stoic yacht]

Can you imagine if that worked lmao

[maiden phoenix]

good attempt

[stoic yacht]

All this time

[fervent tartan]

It would be amazing

[fervent tartan]

Yes

Who would think of making a random maze in the gme

[maiden phoenix]

is it possible to check if there is a Hotel update on Steam

[strange salmon]

That would be really weird

[maiden phoenix]

if so, we would know that the code can be used in Hotel

[fervent tartan]

Rusty lake is weird 😔 that's why we're here

[maiden phoenix]

like an update log

[fervent tartan]

I can't check

[strange salmon]

Well yes you're right

[onyx summit]

Aight I'm getting nowhere

[strange salmon]

I'm gonna chech Steam this afternoon to see if there's something there

[fervent tartan]

I'm on phone

Is there anything I can help I'm sad of just replying :(

[haughty light]

steam DB says the following.

of course they could've snuck in something in October.

[maiden phoenix]

nope

[fervent tartan]

October hm

[maiden phoenix]

there isnt any

[strange salmon]

There's a changelog??

[haughty light]

lmao no

[strange salmon]

Oh

[fervent tartan]

? 😔

[strange salmon]

And the Rusty Lake blog doesn't follows the updates?

[haughty light]

nah the blog just announced the advent

[fervent tartan]

If the letters really mean something, our best bet is to try the 5 letters that repeat itself

I'm going to search

[maiden phoenix]

those updates could be small patches

[stoic yacht]

Just this one

[maiden phoenix]

no need to announce

[haughty light]

but ye im assuming most updates RL pushes r bug fixes

[maiden phoenix]

yeah

However, it is still possible, to insert an extra code for a certain puzzle

[haughty light]

yep!

[maiden phoenix]

But the last update is in 1st of Oct

so... it is very unlikely

unless ITS ALL PLANNED

[haughty light]

but we've never seen such a long string for a code in RL I think

[frozen ermine]

planning something like this before october seems reasonable

[stoic yacht]

I'm almost certain by now it's a sentence

The only part that complicates it are the 3's

[maiden phoenix]

therefore, we should give up inserting codes in games I guess

[coarse bloom]

my brain is too small for this

[rustic geode]

Sammy, I'm 100% sure it's a sentence

[maiden phoenix]

agree

[strange salmon]

Did you know that the code for the snow globe in Birthday appeared in Harvey's Box way before Hotel release?

[maiden phoenix]

u should ask those to mods

[frozen ermine]

rainy, your first idea with door and code is wrong. you use both the B and the M for an E

[maiden phoenix]

I am not a big professional at recording those suff

[strange salmon]

Ask what?

[maiden phoenix]

your question

[haughty light]

didn't the update the code after the fact? I can't remember.

lol

[rustic geode]

I know, But I can't come up with a word that starts with T and has double letters than "Tells" which Weronika was about

could mean I might be wrong about the first word which is "the"

[frozen ermine]

tolls woulf be possible

[strange salmon]

Btw, the shape of yesterday reminds me of a capital i, maybe a clue for a word that's ciphered here?

[frozen ermine]

but not with door or room

[haughty light]

tolling of a bell?

day 2 the bat had a bell.

[rustic geode]

The door tolls the code?

[frozen ermine]

or like demanding a toll for the use of a bridge

[onyx summit]

Taffy, tummy, tubby

[gilded fjord]

I don't know anything about codes, but could it be something like "YOU Q33AY WHAT YOU I3QM??"

[frozen ermine]

You would work as a three letter word

[maiden phoenix]

thats true... why would there be a bell

[haughty light]

ring for roomservice?

[strange salmon]

Oh i realized something

[fervent tartan]

Billy, Breed, Carry, fleet, floor, harry, hardy, proof, sheet, speed, worry, wheel.
YES I SEARCHED FOR ALL 5 LETTERS WORD WITH TWO REPEATED AND CONSECUTIVE LETTERS

[fervent tartan]

Bet on breed, floor, proof and sure, wheel

[onyx summit]

Hardy?

[lament solar]

hotel dress codes is on the door

[maiden phoenix]

reception?

[fervent tartan]

This is what the site said

[frozen ermine]

it could be a conjugated verb. Like tells

[fervent tartan]

Oh yea wait a minute

Or a hour

I don't know long it's gonna take

[strange salmon]

The numbers may be our clue? The 3 can be read as an E. Those can be or bases to decipher the rest. Anyone tried that?

[gilded fjord]

Oh it can`t be WHAT because it has to have a repeated letter

[rustic geode]

OH!!! I KNOW

WHAT IF DOOR IS ACTUALLY "DEER"?

[frozen ermine]

!

[maiden phoenix]

?

[onyx summit]

!!

[frozen ermine]

but then the the doesnt work again

[strange salmon]

YESYES

[stoic yacht]

THe first word doesn;t have to be ''the''

So it could be deer

[strange salmon]

Ok if we say it's deer, Q is D

Right?

[fervent tartan]

PAGE 1 OF 65 😭
pizza, happy, Kelly, puppy, jelly, bully, sorry, penny, ville, cross, belly, harry, funny, molly, silly, berry, sally, Holly, alley, daddy, worry, jenny, latte, small, poppy, belle, gabby, donna, billy, perry, jolly, larry, terry, otter, and fella

[stoic yacht]

Right now the biggest risk is that we hold onto something with vert little proof

[maiden phoenix]

I am thinking about RL lines

[rustic geode]

maybe Mr. Deer is hiding something?

[maiden phoenix]

corresponding to the word number

[haughty light]

@fervent tartan I dont think sharing 65 pages of results is gonna do much here.

[fervent tartan]

Yah

Lemme take the rusty lake most related

[strange salmon]

This could turn out very well if tomorrow Mr. Deer opens the door, really

[fervent tartan]

Like "wheel", "breed" or "seeds"

[maiden phoenix]

well, its hotel themed

[fervent tartan]

Where are the double letters exactly?

[maiden phoenix]

I guess it would eventually be everyone

[haughty light]

we obviously only have that many Hotel members.

[strange salmon]

The two 3, I guess

[fervent tartan]

Pu

[rustic geode]

that many hotel member, yet that less of answers

[fervent tartan]

Oh*

[stoic yacht]

We've also got an LL

[frozen ermine]

just checked, i dont think there arent any words with "-es-" without T or D, so the seed one seems to be wrong as well

[fervent tartan]

Where are the two 3

Like O33OO, OO33O?

[stoic yacht]

Jonathan, you can check the dog. That way you can also see the other things

[haughty light]

Room 4 in hotel is Mr rabbit.

[lament solar]

the code yesterday was for hotel, right?

[stoic yacht]

doc

[fervent tartan]

Dog?

[strange salmon]

Who said that only Hotel members? I mean, it's confirmed?

[onyx summit]

Who was in Room 2?

[stoic yacht]

Doc

[fervent tartan]

What dog

O

[frozen ermine]

mr bat

[onyx summit]

In Hotel I mean

[maiden phoenix]

so no one had any clue about the five letters in the middle of the chain

[onyx summit]

The game

[haughty light]

Mr boar in game.

[fervent tartan]

I will search and decode the most RL related words

[maiden phoenix]

never is a five letter word

[fervent tartan]

I really want to help with something so I don't feel useless

I will be back in a moment

[strange salmon]

Hummmmmmmmm

[fervent tartan]

And ask some friends for help too lmao

[rustic geode]

Hmm... you know what guys? I'd leave this one till tomorrow

we're out of clues

[maiden phoenix]

cool

[strange salmon]

Yeah

[fervent tartan]

We still have the word code

[onyx summit]

Okay then 🤷‍♀️

[fervent tartan]

We can search for 5 letters that repeat at the certain part

[rustic geode]

maybe tomorrow it'll show us more clues or something, though it's only my vision for it tho

[strange salmon]

Can someone add the 3 meaning E in the doc?

[stoic yacht]

Yeah, I'm curious what info other days will bring.

There's clearly something here

[fervent tartan]

Ow :(

[haughty light]

o ye we'll definitely get more information tomorrow.

[rustic geode]

it could be like last year's christmas song

we had to wait for new piece of code the next day

[strange salmon]

Hold on

[fervent tartan]

I will keep my work, if I find anything I will immediately come back

[strange salmon]

We didn't found any relation between this and yesterday's shape

[haughty light]

but if anyone does think of anything feel free to share!

ye I think it;s difficult to connect those two.

[stoic yacht]

Right, the Google Doc will remain open

[maiden phoenix]

does -1 floor count as a part of the hotel

[haughty light]

I dont know, technically? lmao.

[maiden phoenix]

[strange salmon]

Pigeon's room is 3 right?

[maiden phoenix]

which magically corresponds to today

[haughty light]

yep

[strange salmon]

Casually, magically, such a coincidence, as everything in Rusty Lake 🙂

[fervent tartan]

This is definitely a clue

[maiden phoenix]

you should include this in your note

if u find it necessary

[fervent tartan]

Like they are just throwing in our faces about room 3 (the day, ms pheasant)

Oh it's ms pigeon room?

[onyx summit]

Pheasant

[strange salmon]

I think it's just the number 3,

[fervent tartan]

Bro

[haughty light]

alreayd have

[fervent tartan]

If the room 3 is ms pheasant we should DEFINITELY keep searching

[stoic yacht]

Maybe RL are rubbing it in Valve's face that they know how to count. That's why it wasn't a Steam code like (presumably) yesterday

[haughty light]

lol

[stoic yacht]

Although now I'm wondering, what if yesterday being a code was a coincidence

[strange salmon]

Guys; I have a mission for y'all. Look for anything related to Christmas or Rusty Lake with number 3

[fervent tartan]

What

[strange salmon]

ANYTHING

[fervent tartan]

Wdym

[onyx summit]

Case 23

[strange salmon]

The clue of today is number 3, I think

[fervent tartan]

Nah

[maiden phoenix]

that will lead us to no where since there are certainly more valuable clue

[strange salmon]

This is not the best example but yeah, I guess

[fervent tartan]

Yup

[strange salmon]

Who knows?

[onyx summit]

Hey they said anything xD

[fervent tartan]

I'm going to keep the letters search

[maiden phoenix]

remember time is limited so does life

[onyx summit]

Three vanderboom siblings, Emma, the other guy, and Albert :P

[strange salmon]

Samuel

And well not hotel related.. or yes?

I mean

It's useful

Noted on my personal investigation

[maiden phoenix]

but only Laura sort of connected to the hotel

[strange salmon]

Nah, best connection laura has is Harvey I guess

[maiden phoenix]

her photo

and key

[vivid sigil]

So are we under the impression that the 3s stand for a letter just like any other letter? What if they stand for e’s?

[rough wind]

Ok, i think that now we are in the wiiiiide stretch territory so i think its best we wait for tommorow

[onyx summit]

Three birb bois, Owl Crow and Harvey
But yeah I think looking for significant 3s will just overwhelm us with information that we won't need

[strange salmon]

That's what I said, Damy said it may be Deer

[maiden phoenix]

rainy had this

[vivid sigil]

Oops sorry. Lots to keep up with lol

[haughty light]

that was rainy I think!

[maiden phoenix]

she puts seed

[haughty light]

[maiden phoenix]

and deer

[strange salmon]

Oh yes

Dam

Sorry Rainy!

[fervent tartan]

What

[strange salmon]

I'm going to check other types of ciphering

[fervent tartan]

The room tikka the gorl lmao

What if we are close

[onyx summit]

My head hurt

[rustic geode]

It's okay really! I get it you can confuse moderators XD

[fervent tartan]

My head hurt too

[strange salmon]

Anyone can participate on the doc?

[fervent tartan]

I think yes

[haughty light]

yep

[rustic geode]

yep!

[strange salmon]

Oh nice

[haughty light]

everyone has editior permissions

[rustic geode]

as long as you keep it tidy

also jinx

[haughty light]

if someone ruins the doc I shut it down though.

[fervent tartan]

When I get all the related words and with the most sense I will post there ok?

[strange salmon]

What is jinx?

[fervent tartan]

Yes

Jinx is a tg villain lol

[strange salmon]

Oh

[fervent tartan]

Wdym with jinx? Lol

[strange salmon]

Interesting

[strange salmon]

.

[fervent tartan]

j i n x

[fervent tartan]

Wdym

With jinx

[rustic geode]

I said because me and damy said "yup" at the same time lol

[fervent tartan]

Oh

[maiden phoenix]

lmao

[strange salmon]

Oh no we're going offtopic D:

[fervent tartan]

Yes

YZB-Q33A-YJLLC-YZB-I3QM

Thanks for posting the word Damy

[haughty light]

ye ofc.

[rustic geode]

Anyways, I sorta call it a day for me looking into this code stuff
I feel like we did enough, and next day could bring us another piece of the puzzle

[strange salmon]

I have to add a color code for myself to edit the doc?

[haughty light]

you dont have too

I just did it to be recognizable.

[strange salmon]

Alright

[fervent tartan]

Mine will be turquoise if I get to do anything

[haughty light]

just add your name to the list if you wanna

[fervent tartan]

I still have nothing, got 5 words that don't make sense with the text

[haughty light]

if you wanna be anonymous that's totally fair too.

[vivid sigil]

Maybe the message we’re looking to decode isn’t
YZB Q33A YJLLC YZB I3QM
But
YZB QEEA YJLLC YZB IEQM

I don’t know if that changes anything though

Like they just replaced e with 3 because it’s the third door

[hallow fractal]

but they had 3:s in door 2 aswell

[haughty light]

ye but door 2 was a steam code.

[strange salmon]

Steam keys are completely random, right, you can't choose them?

[hallow fractal]

oh

[haughty light]

pretty sure.

[onyx summit]

But a steam key could be worked into the code?

[maiden phoenix]

yes

[strange salmon]

Maybe

[maiden phoenix]

it might be a coded steam key

[haughty light]

that is true if you generated it beforehand and did something with it.

[maiden phoenix]

just need someone to solve it! (Even though it is slightly anticlimax

[vivid sigil]

I’ve also tried running
YZB QEEA YJLLC YZB IEQM through the Vigenere decoder using the keys “key” “door” and “pheasant”

Nothin

[strange salmon]

I know it doesn't makes too much sense but has anyone tried hexadecimal?

It's numbers but

Maybe the numbers are ciphered too

Idk

[rustic geode]

I'm still thinking, that "HOTEL DRESS CODES" is Cesar code, but idk how much shifted

[strange salmon]

Humm 3 is our universal number now, tried that?

[rustic geode]

It can't be a coincidence that the code is in the door + that the words are 5 letters, just like steam code has 3x5 lletter words

yeah I tried it

and steam said it doesn't work

of course I have hotel already, it would say that I already own the product

[strange salmon]

They'd really gift a steam key twice? They would tell us exactly what we have to find, while the fun is decipher what we're looking for

[pure aurora]

It's hard xD

[rustic geode]

unless.... hm

I got an idea

[fervent tartan]

See you guys in a few hours

[merry seal]

Hello, I was wondering, where can you see about the Rusty Lake advent calendar?

How does it work?

[fervent tartan]

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iLdg-gTYrkS7rASzOsfM6eAJRcxkra0efNiXWwpIxIQ/edit?usp=drivesdk

[maiden phoenix]

see pinned messages

[fervent tartan]

Have this link

[merry seal]

Ok

[haughty light]

we don't know how it works yet

[strange salmon]

Twisted words? what about twisted words

[haughty light]

but wére hard at work trying to uncover that.

[merry seal]

Thank you

[maiden phoenix]

Rainy, did u try to subsititute the five letter position for each Hotel Dress Codes (those are all five letters)

[merry seal]

I thought there would be a new video every day in the YouTube channel

[haughty light]

nah nt on youtube

[rustic geode]

huh, wdym by substitute? sorry I'm sorta all over the place trying to think this through

[fierce dock]

hey guys ! hello ^^

[maiden phoenix]

nah its fine, I guess I am wrong

since its YJLLC

[hallow fractal]

what decode was used here

what cypher

[maiden phoenix]

two ll doesnt match anything

[hallow fractal]

what interval

[strange salmon]

Rainy, you think that "HOTEL DRESS CODE" is cesar code. Which numbers you've tried?

[rustic geode]

I've tried: 3, 2 & 1

[hallow fractal]

hotel dress codes cecars cypher

[fierce dock]

did you think about substitution with a shift in relation to the position of the letter in the word ?

[strange salmon]

You're looking for a phrase or a steam key?

[maiden phoenix]

no one knows

[vivid sigil]

To clarify: do you mean if the letters in HOTEL DRESS CODES are shifted a certain amount, they’ll say something else?

[strange salmon]

Mhmmmhm

[rustic geode]

not quite what I was meant to say!
Steam code is build like this
AAAAA-BBBBB-CCCCC
and HOTEL DRESS CODES is also exactly 5 letters each

[frail hemlock]

Im assuming its a phrase and not a steam key, potentially all together will be something important.

[rustic geode]

I thought that if I shifted the word with Cesar, it'll give me a working steam code

[fierce dock]

do you think they'll gives 2 keys , day 2 and day 3 ?

[vivid sigil]

Ooo good catch!

[strange salmon]

Ok but has anyone tried just "HOTEL DRESS CODES" as steam key?

Unlikely, but possible

[maiden phoenix]

does that mean we should do it in reverse?
We should decode the door rather than whats in the door?

or using the content in the door

[rustic geode]

Well from what I tried to decode Ms. Pheasant says something similar to "THE DOOR TELLS THE CODE"
which means the door itself is the code

not what's inside it

[vivid sigil]

I feel like as we go on through the month, whatever’s outside and inside the door will be equally important

[rustic geode]

Pheasant was only a clue

[fervent tartan]

What

[fierce dock]

idea: nigma ? the door is the key to decode what is in the door ?

[vivid sigil]

They might even be used in tandem with each other

[maiden phoenix]

I am thinking what she said is about rewriting the door

u know what I mean right?

[strange salmon]

Elegant. That's how all the hotel guests dress like. Just an observation, not a clue or an idea actually

[rustic geode]

but re-writing it into all possible codes will take a lot of time

[vivid sigil]

YZB Q33A YJLLC YZB I3QM
Decoded in Vigenère with the key “Hotel dress code” is
RLI MTFX HFTTD WLY EXCT

[rustic geode]

and also, I don't wanna cause anyone to get their steam account locked if they have anti-brute force code thingy

[strange salmon]

I'm gonna do that with as many codes as I know and I can, will take time, but better than nothing

[fierce dock]

i just tried, i also tried with pheasant, didnt work

[strange salmon]

Not actually with the HOTEL DRESS CODES but with pheasant's phrase

[strange salmon]

Happy I'm not the only who has rusty lake related background

[maiden phoenix]

damn, nowhere is mad

[fierce dock]

it'd be something if it was one of the sentence of the pheasant in the game :p

[maiden phoenix]

does anyone want to try out the steam keys he decoded, if they work?

[vivid sigil]

Tried it the other way around (decoding hotel dress codes with the key YZB QEEA YJLLC YZB IEQM) nothing of note

[maiden phoenix]

nope

they dont seem to be the right answer

[strange salmon]

I've expected the 3s to be a kind of nucleus, that's not encrypted, and it's our clue, an E.

that's why Rainy said Deer and seed

[vivid sigil]

So are you suggesting the threes decode to e’s or that the threes represent e’s that need to be decoded into something else?

[haughty light]

ye I trtied a bunch of the keys

[fierce dock]

i thought YZB would be a good beginning => the / you etc but it seems i was wrong

[haughty light]

Steam timed me out though lma.

[strange salmon]

Hum hard to explain. Have you did those exercises where you have to complete the phrase with the correct word, and your clues are the other words that are right?

[maiden phoenix]

There are two main ideas:

1. The door itself is a code, possibly a key which requires the content in the door to solve it
2. What Pheasant said is a sentence which is coded and require Hotel Dress Code to decode it or somehow

But there are also other possibilities as well!

I have small brain

[strange salmon]

we all complement each other

[vivid sigil]

Like a fill in the blanks puzzle?

[fierce dock]

that why i came ^^ cant do it alone

[strange salmon]

yeah! But the blanks are encrypted

[fierce dock]

I'm tempted to restart the game to see if there's a clue ahah

oh hmm, just to be sure, the code of day2 was a steam key, that's right ? no code ,juste put it on steam, no ?

[fervent tartan]

What's the invalid real line pls

[strange salmon]

Yesz but we don't know what it was for, presumably hotel

[fervent tartan]

Bc there are two of them

[maiden phoenix]

oops

too many activation attempts

[haughty light]

well I know the purple checks out.

[fierce dock]

i put it on steam and it said me i already have it , but i have all the rustylake games

[fervent tartan]

??

[haughty light]

bc thats me

[strange salmon]

yeSss

[pure aurora]

Yes, code from yesterday was to RL: Hotel

[strange salmon]

Ok, got my computer, time to work

[fierce dock]

in fact, the "3" are boring me x) i dont know what to do with them , maybe replace them by a E ?

[hallow fractal]

what if the 3:s are just decoy

prob not

but still

[fierce dock]

what do you mean by "decoy" ( i'm not english speaker x) )

[onyx summit]

I tried feeding every combination of words I could think of into decoders for three different ciphers and I got nothing

[hallow fractal]

just there to be in the way

to distract

aka

what if the 3:s mean nothing

[fierce dock]

i see, i see

[maiden phoenix]

it is always possible that our approaches are wrong

[fierce dock]

so , a word with 2 letters and another with 3

[hallow fractal]

mabye

we cant know unless we try

[strange salmon]

Spaces or literally nothing?

[fierce dock]

what if 3 are E
i'm certainly wrong but
YZB Q33A
YOU NEED

no protocol for that ahaha

[onyx summit]

We never thought about "need", I think :o

[hallow fractal]

if it is the 3:s are spaces then there is a two spaces in a row

so prob nothing

[strange salmon]

Oh yeah sure

[hallow fractal]

like nothing nothing

[strange salmon]

I'm gonna leave a sec

[onyx summit]

"You need y---- you --n-"

[fierce dock]

it can be a tool for reverse ?

[maiden phoenix]

I dont think it is a direct adaption

anyway, I tried, I give up, see u tmr guys

[fierce dock]

i mean, decompose all the letters in numbers then recode

[onyx summit]

I'll be back tomorrow, hopefully with tea so I'll actually be useful

[maiden phoenix]

dont worry about it

we are equally useless

[onyx summit]

XD

[haughty light]

It's fine

It'scool to see us all deep dive

But it's likely we just lack critical information.

[fierce dock]

we just need a key to decipher, but we'll find 😄

[river tulip]

tf the twitter shit mean

i tried using diff converters and shit to decode it and got nonsense

[fierce dock]

it's actually harder than a simple decipher

[river tulip]

i can see

[haughty light]

Ye we're unsure ourselves!

[river tulip]

what do y’all think

man fuck

[haughty light]

I personally think it's very likely we lack critical information that we'll get tomorrow / over the next few days

[stoic yacht]

My current train of thought is something along the lines of "day 10 or whatever is gonna blow this whole case wide open."

[river tulip]

yea that’s prolly what they’re doing

what do you think the words on the door means

and the shape

[haughty light]

I'm also semi confident this'll end up being a tease for a new game

I think the shape is one of many and we'll have to puzzle it together.

[river tulip]

the past within coming christmas !?!?!?

[haughty light]

No no

Just a setup for the release after tpw

[stoic yacht]

We know past within is 2022, so it makes sense to tease the next game now

[river tulip]

if it comes out christmas i’m gonna cry

[fierce dock]

maybe a lil demo or , you know , a small game in order to wait the release ^^

[haughty light]

I find it unlikely rl worked on a game in tandem w/ tpw

[onyx summit]

Like a maze

[haughty light]

Considering how much work they've had to put into it

[river tulip]

but yea y’all are prolly right about a clue coming later

[stoic yacht]

I'm 99,99999999999999999999999999999% sure it's not gonna release this year anyway, that makes no sense

[river tulip]

i’m pushing the agenda it’s a christmas present

[onyx summit]

I'm now wondering if the goal is to turn all the letters into numbers somehow :thinking:

[river tulip]

they said early next year but maybe they finished early

[river tulip]

OH MAYBE

nah

if you take the number of the alphabet for one of those it’s 25262

[fierce dock]

25262 17331 251012123 25262 931713

[river tulip]

that could be something

[fierce dock]

here is what i had by changing letters into their position on alphabet

[river tulip]

and the door said room dress codes

[soft hamlet]

What does it all mean

[river tulip]

idk why that matters

[onyx summit]

I'm basically just counting the letters in "hotel dress code" and in "lady in blue, mr crow, mr owl". Trying to find something that adds up.

[river tulip]

exactly

[soft hamlet]

Hotel dress codes

[river tulip]

yea

WHAT DIES IT MEAN

[soft hamlet]

Why woman why owl why crow???
I don’t understand anything

[fierce dock]

WHAT IF ! the key is => blue

[onyx summit]

H is the 8th letter in the alphabet, the 8th letter in "lady in blue mr crow mr owl" is L...

[fierce dock]

hotel dress codes => the pheasant is dress in blue

[river tulip]

how would you use blue to decode it

[onyx summit]

Because in Hotel we dress up Miss Pheasant in those three outfits

Hotel dress codes

[river tulip]

this could be right lokey

[soft hamlet]

Ok thanks

[fierce dock]

vegenere decipher

[river tulip]

try it and see if it works

WAIT

[sacred flume]

Oh okay so I'm not the only one baffled, I feel better now

[river tulip]

HOLD ON

[soft hamlet]

Have you decided what mean the first room? I didn’t see

[river tulip]

YOU THINK THIS IS A MAP FOR ONE OF THE PARTS YOU MOVE AROUND ON

like in paradox

[onyx summit]

I fed blue as the key into three different cypger decoders

[fierce dock]

didnt work , i know xD

[soft hamlet]

What a good idea

[haughty light]

We tried, paradox isn't a match

[river tulip]

damn

[onyx summit]

I keep saying that imma give it a rest and come back tomorrow, but then my brain starts working again

[river tulip]

what other games do you move like that in

[soft hamlet]

Tomorrow will be new door with new riddle

[river tulip]

do you move in the hotel boar room?

or do you just look around

[onyx summit]

Or a clue to help figure out the existing riddles

[soft hamlet]

Maybe

[river tulip]

these aren’t even riddles these are junbles of letters😭

[soft hamlet]

And numbers

[pure aurora]

Ok, I can't get it XD I'll just try to help out tomorrow with a new riddle

[onyx summit]

I'm still convinced hotel dress codes has to do with the three outfits Miss Peansant wears. Especially since she's the one behind the door. And her room in Hotel is Room 3. Day 3. 3 on the door. Three 3s in the code.

[haughty light]

I wouldn't be surprised!

[river tulip]

hmm

[fierce dock]

we tried, cesar code, we tried vegenere with multiple key
we tried numbering it ... what more? xD ( i dont even know if numbering is a word in english ! xD )

[unique mesa]

Hey, somebody can help me with something? I don't know how to open :(

[river tulip]

#cube-escape-series-help

[river tulip]

i think there’s a crowbar or wrench or somn you find

[teal crescent]

ello don't mind me crashing in wanting to know if somebody already managed to make sense of the first two advent calendar videos

[soft hamlet]

Maybe coincidence?
To confuse us😅

[river tulip]

nobody has anything yet

[haughty light]

Lmao absolutely not

[teal crescent]

(ok good then i am not dumber than everyone hehe)

[haughty light]

Not at all lol

[river tulip]

i saw people in the replies of the tweets acting like they got it and i thought it was dumb lmaoo

[wind nymph]

I just woke up asdjlkdsfgkklkkd

[fierce dock]

wait , there's was no riddle or enigma for the 2 first , no ?

[sacred flume]

Apparently the second door was a steam key? But that feels like an odd choice since it can only go to one person, so I'm not sure

[soft hamlet]

Good morning to you

[haughty light]

The riddle is probably the maze shape on the door

[fierce dock]

midnightfox, it's me ahah

[sacred flume]

Oh right

[river tulip]

I HATE YOU

[haughty light]

O my god I literally replied to you both

[fierce dock]

whyyyy ??? 😦

[river tulip]

mf got a white board and shit we official now

[haughty light]

I really respect what you're doing though Lynn!

Yo I'd love a room of whiteboards for this would be fun

[tacit tundra]

Hello does anybody have a clue on 3rd calendar puzzle

[rustic geode]

I could always write on glass adshash

[river tulip]

nah

[haughty light]

Not yet Theia!

[strange salmon]

I just have blackboards oh NO

[onyx summit]

Ooo imma go get my dry erase board

[river tulip]

i used ms paint while playing the games to keep track of stuff

[haughty light]

Ye me too

For those just coming in

We do have a document pinned!

You're free to join

But please keep it neat and orderly

[boreal dawn]

Well, now I have to improve my english to understand what you guys are discussing here

[haughty light]

Ahaha goodluck Peka!

[boreal dawn]

ty

[fierce dock]

ahah, sorry for my riddle but, come on , it was easy , no ? it was just a key steam to put.. in steam => vapor etc etc :p

[tacit tundra]

Already excited for Christmas... what will they have???

[haughty light]

Ahaha riddles

To break out brains

[strange salmon]

Added my own color code ;).

[haughty light]

Nice!

[strange salmon]

I'm gonna try to decipher Ms. Pheasant phrase, I should add the fails to the doc to keep track of what we've tried and what not?

[fierce dock]

i'm gonna take a smoke , maybe i'll have an idea while smoking it x)

[haughty light]

Ye feel free Rox

[strange salmon]

thx

[haughty light]

Lmao that would only work for mr boar ;)

[strange salmon]

I'll keep it as clear as possible

[haughty light]

Nowhere ended up deleting their keys so feel free to add / delete as you see fit

(what you type anyway)

[fierce dock]

arf, i'm just a Mr Fox, but hey it can work as well :p

[soft hamlet]

Hmm maybe it related to Rusty Lake cigarette?

[haughty light]

Rl cigars? They might pop up!

[fierce dock]

i dont know if i want to smoke a RL cigarette ahaha

[soft hamlet]

I mean they could help?

[solid bridge]

i wonder if i should put my name in the doc in case i add smth there?

[haughty light]

You don't have too

It's upto you

I just wanted a highlight bc I'm a mod ;)

[solid bridge]

it'll be fun anyway

[soft hamlet]

https://tenor.com/view/lets-keep-it-clean-maintain-clean-instruction-beck-bennett-gif-15835983

[tacit tundra]

Ohhhhh what did you use

[soft hamlet]

Oh everyone stoped talking after my gif

[haughty light]

Did you do this by hand^

Or did you use a key?

I see.

[river tulip]

maybe a word in the pheasant room?

[dense nimbus]

the room tells the word?

[soft hamlet]

I think there “the”

[river tulip]

i mean this is an actual sentence we haven’t gotten this far

[haughty light]

Ye which is

Unfortunate

Lmao

The multiple e problem I mean

[river tulip]

what is the problem idk how thsi works

[fierce dock]

Thy can be right , it's just an old form of the in English

[haughty light]

The problem is that we're trying to decipher the code ms pheasant says

And we have an almost sentence

But it wouldn't work

[strange salmon]

It's definitely not hexadecimal.

[river tulip]

yea there aren’t enough characters in each thing

probably nothing but the number of characters in each bunch goes 34534 probably nothing tho

[fervent tartan]

Hello"

[boreal dawn]

hi

[river tulip]

hey

[fervent tartan]

Did you guys found the problem

[haughty light]

No lol

[fierce dock]

we're working on it

[fervent tartan]

Ow :(

Can I help

[fierce dock]

if you can think then yes you certainly can ^^

[boreal dawn]

ofc

[fervent tartan]

How can I help

[haughty light]

Hahah we don't really know yet

I think we're on slight dead end

[boreal dawn]

decode this

[haughty light]

I'm hoping tomorrow brings more news

[river tulip]

taking it to the source😤😤

[fervent tartan]

Oh yes right

[fervent tartan]

Lmao

[haughty light]

[tacit tundra]

wut

[fierce dock]

XD

[rustic geode]

Ah doubt the sources itself will say anything

[river tulip]

worth a shot

[fervent tartan]

NoFlavor must be thinking "wth is she doing?"

[haughty light]

The entire rl office is laughing at us

And that's okay

[river tulip]

watching us struggle

[fervent tartan]

watching us ask the source

[gilded fjord]

I would love to know if the riddle can be solved with the info we have or we need to wait for the next day

[haughty light]

It's likely they're days long riddles

[river tulip]

i feel like we’re missing something

[haughty light]

So to speak

[tacit tundra]

We...don't know?

[gilded fjord]

but nuber 2 was kjust a code

[soft hamlet]

Is it related to the pas within maybe?

[gilded fjord]

steam key

[haughty light]

Ye but the door wasn't

[soft hamlet]

I thought this first

[fervent tartan]

乁( •_• )ㄏ

[fierce dock]

1day , nothin , 2day , nothin hard, 3day Time to be Turing ! xD

[tacit tundra]

very likely I think

[fervent tartan]

What if it's just nothing

[soft hamlet]

What did the code give?

[soft hamlet]

[gilded fjord]

Day 3 now this is a riddle to die for

[river tulip]

I HAD A HEART ATTACK

[boreal dawn]

where did u find the code?

[river tulip]

THIS EMOJI BRO

[tacit tundra]

Today's code is on the pinned message

[boreal dawn]

thanks

[rustic geode]

Yeah so the riddle for now is a dead end
so we gotta wait
Btw I drew that emote, it was 1st of April :)

[river tulip]

huge goat right here

[dense nimbus]

so the answer is?

[haughty light]

Rainys responsible for a whole bunch of beautiful emotes!

[haughty light]

Nothing yet!

[fierce dock]

maybe..... XD

[fervent tartan]

Rlly?

[haughty light]

Yes!

And also our wonderful community of course.

[fervent tartan]

So

[tacit tundra]

Is this in French?

[fervent tartan]

Yes I guess

[fervent tartan]

Oo

I got every achievement of every RL game I played so

[gilded fjord]

to all who mentioned the Cesar codes and encryption etc, how did you learn them? Is it from your job or just for fun?

[fervent tartan]

Ye

[river tulip]

i’m working on it

[light minnow]

Hello

[fierce dock]

oh yeah >< i forgot my game was in french ><

[river tulip]

yo

[haughty light]

We're all secret agents

[void dune]

OH i just saw the code today have we fotten anywhere

[fervent tartan]

I used to watch cellbit, but then he got exposed

[haughty light]

Not yet!

[void dune]

okay

[river tulip]

😔

[void dune]

I'm assuming "Hotel Dress Code" could be a keyword/phrase?

[gilded fjord]

Makes sense

[fierce dock]

i got them all too ^^

[haughty light]

Ye that's what we're thinking too

[boreal dawn]

does this code appear daily?

[haughty light]

Ye!

[river tulip]

i think it’s more of a clue

[haughty light]

There will be a new one tomorrow.

[river tulip]

maybe tho

[void dune]

the only thing that throws me off with these is the numbers

[light minnow]

You guys cracked door 2?

[void dune]

otherwise i'd just assume they were ciphers 😭

[river tulip]

the code was a steam key but the shape on the door we don’t know

[boreal dawn]

so we need at least 50 hours in a day

to do this

[gilded fjord]

Is anything mentiond at the begining of the game about dress codes?? Played it some months ago...

[haughty light]

Nope

[river tulip]

i will replay tonight

[light minnow]

Let me tell you this, it isn't a steam key

[haughty light]

Just food.

[fervent tartan]

༎ຶ‿༎ຶ

[haughty light]

Day 3 isn't!

Day 2 was.

[solid bridge]

it is.

[light minnow]

Day 2 isn't a steam key bro

[haughty light]

Lmao I mean I tried and it was.

[fervent tartan]

Yah

[river tulip]

i can’t tell the difference i just took people word for it

[haughty light]

But what do you think it could be?

[light minnow]

Believe me, I cracked door 3 already

[strange salmon]

???

what's going on

[light minnow]

"The door tells the code"

[fervent tartan]

Don't joke, we're struggling here →_→

[solid bridge]

yeah everyone knows that?
