yes, that´s what I´ve got. It doesnt make any sense

What to do with the binary code in the source code? The decoder cant decode that

yessss got more packages in the last week from zumi than from other sources :D

great to hear some news!

442 and 244xxx... Coincidence? I don´t think so

I dont think that the "9" in the lower part of the page should be taken literally. The 9 wasnt there before. It was added 24 h after that riddle has started. This 9 is probably a hint to something we have been overseeng the whole time

The "nine" looks like the pic below... Zumi pls don´t punch us!

I dont think that the 9 will change to an 8. I think the 9 is a hint, because we are stuck. If you read the message, you can note the two "eyes" after the "tw". Since "i" is the 9th letter in the alphabet it could be a hint. You can read the gifs message in another way: "It takes tw eyes" --> "It takes TWICE" But I have no clue what should be taken twice. Maybe something hidden because of the "hide and seek"-message

"it takes two eyes" but our SPU guy has no eyes on his profile pic

the nine wasnt there before

I described it

it´s probably "years" :D

https://z-kivhvmg.tumblr.com/ the "z-kivhvmg"-part is coded. It means "a-present" The code is that each letter of the alphabet is replaced with the one at its opposite end. So: A = Z B = Y C = X D = W E = V And so on... But I dont know how/if that will help us.

According to the source code of the website, there is only one word which works.

The thing is, that there is no field to type sth in, except the one from the first riddle. But that one accept only ONE message and doesn´t work with another. Then we have the main post of this riddle, where more information could be hidden. But I´m 00% sure there is NO hidden link in the first post. Another possibility is, that there is another thread, unseen by the most of us, which contains more information. The last possibility I can think of, is to wait and to see if my message before will turn into dust OR if collaboration is indeed needed here. (or both?)

“Open and you will find a clue to the path forward. A trial awaits for you to solve on the way to your goal, but speaking the answer out loud will turn your words into dust.” I´ll just try something, hopping that the mods will modify my message into dust and I won´t get banned or sth diamond since the second clue talks about "it takes two", a videogame where COLLABORATION is the key, I´m hoping the this will work.

there is a videogame called "it takes two". But I couldn´t find any clues related to that

The update is amazing, but the pillars on the first floor in the polliwag cave are looking like they are holding the higher floor

Ditto: gives it +1 speed boost

Wigglytuff: boost sound based attacks by 50% + sing has 100% accuracy and can put EVERY MON asleep, even if it has insomnia (because its songs are so boring) Dugtrio: Contact moves hit 3 times with 33% power (maybe even 50%, but 33% makes more sense) Vaporeon: gets automatically aqua ring on entry (can be batton passed) + set up rain for 1-3 turns (so only vaporeon itself can use it) Jolteon: sets electric terrain for 1-3 turns on entry (for its usage only) + gets the effect of the metronom item Flareon: gets fluffly ability. This makes it a good fire tank with good attack stat Kabutops: gets STAB on bug type moves (it´s practically a bug and it can deal with grass types now) Omastar: should get one, but I dunno... Vileplume: neutralizing gas ability Bellossom: Dancer ability + boost the attack of dance moves by 50% and the effectiviness of such status moves is doubled (like quiver dance boosts stats by +2) Swellow: burn it + let it burn enemies hit by contact moves (50% chance) Masquerain: levitate + water stab Slaking: recovers some health (25%???) while resting (sleep + its ability) Exploud: Sound moves use the weakest def/spdef stat for dmg calculations (because sound can destroy physical stuff like glass, etc) + boost 50% for these moves Sableye: Magic Bounce (less def than its mega, but has prankster) Mawile: Huge power (see Sableye) Solrock: STAB on fire moves (it´s a sun!!!) + fire moves do 0 dmg against it Lunatone: STAB on water moves (bcs tide-moon stuff) + water moves do 0 dmg against it Vespiquen: randomly uses atack/fedense/heal order at the end of each turn Skuntank: Fluffy ability (it´s fluffy!) Carnivine: loses levitate, gains ingrain on entry + uses stockpile at the end of each turn (if possible) Darmanitian: gets the stats of trance-galar-darm and the typing of the normal trance mode form Zoroark: can maintain the illusion after being hit once. Resets if switched out Swanna: Flying/Water moves are super effective against flying type (because the ugly duckling wants to repay what other ducks have done to him in its youth) Emolga: +1 Speed if hit by flying type attack or if it/teammate attacks with flying type (because it can fly fast if using air currents) Pyroar M: intimidate Pyroar F: cute charm Hawlucha: flying press actually is flying OR fighting type (automatically chosen on whats more effectively) + all moves deal 25% more dmg + 25% recoil. It´s a wrestler! It jumps around and damage itself too! Falinks: gets bug STAB
