Hover World - Alternate Reality Game Contest

I can't believe I'm still second when so many others have been solving the puzzles. I hope my brain can work better for the next puzzles!

 

Great work jwcasser and everyone that contributed!!! I have been swamped with schoolwork and studying and this riddle was too much on the back of my mind so I am glad it is finally solved

 

Great job! Finally this riddle is solved, wow.

Oh, a new video. I wish I had to tools right now to solve the abc code in it.

 

I don't have the time now to figure out the letters within, but the video image looks like a double mirror image of a hand moving; and altogether the hands look like a spider.

 

The video says "THE END OF EVERYTHING". There is a riddle "What is the end of everything?" and the answer is the letter G. I don't think that is the answer though...

 

Thanks for decoding. I haven't yet had enough coffee this morning.

just for sh!ts and giggles, I tried LETTERG, and THELETTERG, but nuthin'...

 

I tried HandOfGod, but that wasn't it.

 

Sheez...HandOfTodd, HandOfTodd...how many times I gotsta tellya, HandOfTodd. (you know Brian of Nazareth, and no there wasn't really any references like that, that I know of)

Wow another one with a dearth of information. Well here's waiting for the next clue.

 

Since the video shows a mirror image, could the answer be a palindrome?

 

I thought of it as a duplication and using your riddle I got gg, which means good game. Didn't work...

 

Could also be a semordnilap...

 

Oh no! Does this mean your optical video is broken again? We just fixed that!!!!

 

Don't anyone get their hopes up, I haven't got anywhere on this.

So maybe this is assumed but are we trying to figure out where garbot1 is? Is that the task and answer of the riddle? Per garbot1's words "And... with your help we might be able to work as a team and figure out exactly where I am and how to get out of here!". Of is it in two parts where and how? Or are we just trying to answer the riddle within its own context?

I'm also guessing like the previous posts about doubling/palindrome that the mirror effect in the video is significant to the answer.

Has anyone tried to deconstruct the video further? It could just be rorschach images but there seems to be tantalizing glimpses in the imagery, of people type figures, to me anyway. I haven't taken it apart frame by frame yet.

Here is some things I've tried for various reasons.

and a few others I can't think of at the moment.

Well back to work, real work, not this save the robot save the world stuff. Why couldn't he be more like ramboT and just shoot, maim and blowup his way out of the toilet!?! later.

 

hehe.

Similar to a few of your attempts, I tried GRAVE, GRAVES, GRAVESITE

The end of everythinG is G. And then maybe a word that begins with G that is at the end. I immediately thought GRAVE. And at the end of everything you're in the grave. And it's October. But no, that didn't work either.

 

Sorry pajo. Tough loss.

 

And they were playing such good Twins baseball. They had their opportunities. So its one to you and the Yanks. Lets see what the next one brings.

 

End means goal. What could the goal of everything be? To succeed? To win?

 

The end of everything could also be the objective.

In an optical instrument, the objective is the optical element that gathers light from the object being observed and focuses the light rays to produce a real image.
