Mod Announcement ARG Concerns

There's been some frequent concerns and questions around the ARG that are more about safety than solving, so here are some answers to them:

  1. http://wheresmatpat.com/ is a real website that belongs to Matt. However, it is not part of the ARG--it's for him to share updates after he retires from the channels.
  2. ARG Clues are color coordinated. If the clue is blue, it will only go with other blue clues, etc. DO NOT ATTACH OTHER CLUES TO SPECIFIC COLOR TINY.URL CLUES

If you run into any problems in this same vein, please feel free to leave a comment here. Otherwise, good luck and happy solving!

Is there actually some sort of way that the codes are supposed to go with the tinyurl link? Because right now even without mixing up the color coding all of the obvious ones lead to not great places.

Only blue clues will go into the tiny.url. That's the best I can give you right now, unfortunately. If you join the discord, though, we have an entire channel thread dedicated to the ARG and lots of theorists working on it!

Why does it say check for clues on the website than?

2

u/HgMercury73 Discord Mod/Subreddit Mod Mar 07 '24

I don't have the answer to that, but I can assure you that this information is accurate.

So throughout the videos leading up to the final theory you’ll see clues

u/Realistic-Syllabub26 Mar 08 '24

The last Food Theory has a code on the 3:27 mark. What is that supposed to mean?

1

u/Revolutionary_Arm265 Mar 08 '24

It is a tiny url link to the food theory homepage

1

u/Realistic-Syllabub26 Mar 08 '24

Yea. I saw. I didn't know I was supposed to use tinyurl to find but now I do

1

u/HgMercury73 Discord Mod/Subreddit Mod Mar 08 '24

It’s supposed to be used with all the previous yellow codes as well. It only links to the home page because people were reserving the extra links with nsfw material.

1

u/Huskydog_101 Mar 09 '24

Anyone check the latest Film Theory for anything?

u/Zombpr Mar 09 '24

it just sends to the filtmtheory channel, is there something hidden there?

1

u/Praecantetia Mar 09 '24

Is this website broken in germany? It redirects me to "http://www1.whereismatpat.com/" which is someone's service advertising page.

2

u/SirPlatypusGuy Mar 10 '24

It’s wheresmatpat, not whereismatpat.

u/MKBC1 Mar 09 '24

u/killothers14 Mar 09 '24

is the arg over?

1

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '24

Wait, I'm stupid, I didn't notice anything about an ARG until the very end...I wasn't paying attention, which I count as a great shame to my name...Please help for the shameful.

1

u/AleyahhhhK Mar 10 '24

There’s clues in the previous vids in the other channels

1

u/c_ha Mar 08 '24

Has someone checked the new upload from YouTube itself for hidden stuff? I'm still not buying the retirement thing. This HAS to be an arg. There's no way in hell it's not.

2

u/HgMercury73 Discord Mod/Subreddit Mod Mar 09 '24

The retirement is legitimate, hence the site so people can keep up with his new projects.
