ORIGINAL REDDIT POST AND PYCTOS

In the original post, which you can get to by clicking the button below, had some Pycto puzzles for you to solve. Each one had part of a link and some had another hint, and the link sent you to an Imgur post.

IMGUR LINK

After completing the Pyctos, you had to put the links together into one complete Imgur link. The Imgur photo was the name of a subreddit, and you had to go to that subreddit.

JOIN THE SUBREDDIT

There was a decoy post and other decoy items to be found here. You have to join the subreddit, and then wait for the welcome message to come through. Unfortunately, the welcome bot has a delay and there is not anything we are able to do about this.

POKE AROUND THE WEBSITE

Once you get to the website, you need to go to the "accommodations" page, which can be found by clicking on a link in "services" or by using the menu to go straight to the page. Scroll down all the way to the bottom, and click "want an exclusive coupon code?"

Once you are on that page, you need to type in a password. 

Remember in the welcome message, it said the name of the account moderating that subreddit could be useful in the future? The password is that username, which is "BackgroundAdvantages"

Once you get into the page, you are prompted to sign up for the email list. Type in your email, and within a few minutes you should get an email with a link to a google form.

GOOGLE FORM #1

This form contains a few logic problems. You had unlimited attempts to get 100%, and once you did we gave you the next clue.

AFTER GETTING 100%

Once we verified that you got 100% on at least one of your attempts, we sent you a pycto link.

SCAN THE QR CODE

When you scan, you get redirected to a hidden page on the website. There is a YouTube video embed, go to the channel that posted the video and go to the featured channels. This is where the hint from Pycto #1 comes in. Remeber that hint? It was "YouTube? Email."

What does that mean? It means find the email in the description of the channel and send it an email.

SEND AN EMAIL, ANY EMAIL

Once you send an email to the address, you will get an automated response. It contains two hints. They each get you half of a link to a google form. 

Here are the answers to those hints:

Hint 1: https://forms.gle/ (This is the first half of the link)

Hint 2: At the bottom of the webpage the link sends to you, you will find "h9CfFbeJkdE8vff7A"

Add these two together to get "https://forms.gle/h9CfFbeJkdE8vff7A"
