Forums » Epic Week 2018 » Beta symbol discussion (SOLVED)

This topic is for discussing clues and potential answers to the beta symbol in Epic Week 2018. Please stay on topic. Remember, these riddles are designed to be challenging and require a group of people noodling together; don't feel intimidated if you don't know the answer right away. Every little idea can help.

I can already tell that the first clue is related to the BBC code for this site. I hope...

It's more probably related to the oceanic language that we're moooostly sure has been cracked!

Maybe this puzzle has something to do with the alpha symbol discussion?

Oh yeah. The language! Then the first clue may involve the videos and comic, perhaps?

Very probably!

We've translated a few things that came up from the ocean floor already, from the first video and comic: "Atlantis" is written in the ocean itself in the video, and "sunken", "for", and "safety" show up in the comics and other graphics.

Nice! Now, we wait for the next clue to be unlocked so that we can get the final answer...hmmmm...

"A Cipher from the deep", would that be the piece of tablet that they found in the beginning?

Probably...

I feel like "Order matters" is in reference to the Alpha symbol, since alpha is before beta. But beyond that I don't know.

Has anyone tried BBCode?

I don't think it's going to be BBCode. The "cipher from the deep" speaks strongly to the Oceanic language in the comics/movies.

Yeah, I just tried bbcode and it didn't work. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Oh well.

Oh, yknow? THIS is the one that is probably "sunken for safety." Because the words appear out of order.

Makes sense

I was wrong! I tried all combinations of sunken, for, and safety.

This might be relevant: I just got a message in a bottle that said "Clues to the language are hidden in the library". Anybody know of any libraries on this website, perhaps?

Not as far as I know. I can check...

There is a library in the first epic week video. I've been staring at it obsessively because i think it's important for another riddle too.

I'll have to re-watch the video for that.
