Layer 1: SUPER BOWL AD (Video 4, 3,476 frames)
└─ "Almost everything Jimmy passes by is a clue"
└─ "Look up, down, forward, backward, and behind the scenes"
└─ "Figure out how to get an answer from each weird thing"
└─ Street scene clues → provide INPUTS for bank puzzles
└─ "Some of these puzzles use codes you can find online"
Layer 2: BANK SCENES (inside the ad)
└─ "You will need specific content from the Super Bowl ad to solve anything there"
└─ Bank puzzles REQUIRE street-scene answers as inputs
└─ This is where the cipher keys from street scenes get applied
Layer 3: 9 REDDIT VARIETY PUZZLES ← CRITICAL PATH
└─ Playlist of 9 past MrBeast videos (pinned comments)
└─ Each puzzle "ends in a word"
└─ 9 words form a clue IN ORDER
└─ CONFIRMED WORD LENGTHS: 5, 9, 5, 7, 8, 4, 9, 6, 5
└─ "That will help define the nature of the search"
└─ "If you can get that 9-word clue, you'll take the FIRST STEP"
Layer 4: REAL-WORLD CLUES (rolling daily)
└─ MrBeast's Super Bowl photos ("look for numbers")
└─ Tonight Show appearance (Feb 6, 2026)
└─ Daily hint drops from Lone Shark Games
└─ "Anytime you see MrBeast with Salesforce, assume there's something there"
└─ Behind-the-scenes video (Video 2: Slack ad) is part of "behind the scenes"
Step 1: Solve 9 Reddit Variety Puzzles
└─ Each puzzle yields ONE answer word
└─ Word lengths: 5, 9, 5, 7, 8, 4, 9, 6, 5
└─ 9 words → A CLUE PHRASE that "defines the nature of the search"
↓
Step 2: Use the 9-word clue to understand WHAT to search for
└─ "There is a direct way through this ultra-hard puzzle hunt"
↓
Step 3: Decode Super Bowl ad street scenes
└─ Each "weird thing" yields an answer (standard online ciphers)
└─ Look in ALL directions: up, down, forward, backward
↓
Step 4: Apply street-scene answers to bank scenes
└─ Bank scenes contain puzzles that REQUIRE ad content
└─ This is the extraction step
↓
Step 5: Derive the final Slack code
└─ First to Slack @MrBeast the correct code wins $1M

Full text of key section:
"Here's HINT #1: Some of these puzzles use codes you can find online. With the Super Bowl ad, almost everything Jimmy passes by is a clue. Look up, down, forward, backward, and behind the scenes. Figure out how to get an answer from each weird thing. In the bank, the same is true, but you will need specific content from the Super Bowl ad to solve anything there. Last, but not least, if you found the video playlist's pinned comments, each puzzle ends in a word that makes part of a 9-word clue, in order. The word lengths are 5, 9, 5, 7, 8, 4, 9, 6, and 5. That will help define the nature of the search. If you can get that 9-word clue, you'll take the first step on your journey. There is a direct way through this ultra-hard puzzle hunt. You can find it. Then you can win a million dollars!"
Other key quotes:
- "We never said you had to do this alone"
- "Only one person can claim the prize, but it's probably not possible for one person to find and solve everything"
- "Start a wiki, where you list potential puzzles and possible paths and solutions"
- "Draw on all the world's resources"
- "Nobody's got a million dollars yet, so there's still time to catch up"
- Daily clue drops confirmed: "If you can't solve it today, don't panic. Tomorrow we'll drop another clue."
- Escalation promised: "If it's still too hard for you all - then we'll unleash some serious help"
| Revelation | Implication for Us |
|---|---|
| "codes you can find online" | Standard ciphers confirmed: A1Z26, Morse, Braille, semaphore, phone keypad, etc. |
| "everything Jimmy passes by" | Our frame-by-frame V4 analysis is correct approach |
| "up, down, forward, backward" | Check ALL directions in each frame (ceiling, floor, reverse text, reflections) |
| "behind the scenes" | Video 2 (Slack making-of) is part of the puzzle path |
| "get an answer from each weird thing" | Each prop/sign yields exactly ONE answer word |
| "bank needs Super Bowl ad content" | Street answers are INPUTS to bank puzzles (dependency!) |
| "9-word clue, in order" | Reddit puzzles → 9 words → master instruction |
| "word lengths 5,9,5,7,8,4,9,6,5" | Constrains possible answer words for each puzzle |
| "define the nature of the search" | The 9-word phrase tells you WHAT KIND of search to do |
| "first step on your journey" | 9-word clue is Step 1, not the final answer |
| "direct way through" | There IS a single clear path (not random guessing) |

10 Hidden Sign Words (in frame order)
MrBeast holds a white sign throughout the video. The word on the sign changes as the video progresses:
| # | Word | Frame Range | Themed Characters | Steg Marker |

| 10 | [Troll Acrostic] | f01091-f01234 | Waiters with red door models | Acrostic: "THIS MEANS NOTHING..." |
"HELP ME [PATIENCE] YOU WIN $1,000,000 @ THE BIG GAME"
The poem on the final sign, when reading first letters of each capitalized word:
"THIS MEANS NOTHING I JUST WANTED TO WASTE YOUR TIME LOL"
| Frame | Finding | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| f00001-006 | School of Athens parody painting | MrBeast as Plato (pointing up), crew as philosophers |
| f00006 | Number 7 on table object (shield crest) | Also "7" shape in carpet texture |
| f00006 | Blue neon light bar above painting | Possible Morse dash |
| f00006 | 2x3 grid of ceiling lights | Possible Braille character |
| f00598 | "@the1Mil" social media handle | On sign during "@ the" section |
| f00598+ | "HECK" in red letters | Appears alongside "@ the" in multiple frames |
| f00764 | Steganographic "HIDDEN WORD IS 7/10" | Confirms 10-word structure, Big=word 7 |
| f00890 | "HERE" text detected | Among Game frames |
Verdict: This video is a deliberate red herring. The sign message and troll acrostic confirm it's designed to waste time. However, the "@the1Mil" handle and "HECK" in red may be legitimate cross-video breadcrumbs.
The actual Super Bowl LX ad. Dense with puzzle elements. Free-tier processing ongoing.

~2,237 frames remaining (free tier). Expect: Keith Haring mural, more street scenes, bank interior details, possible QR codes, end card.
Phone Keypad:
3 = D/E/F → E
6 = M/N/O → N
3 = D/E/F → D
4 = G/H/I → G
8 = T/U/V → A (uses 2nd key mapping)
2 = A/B/C → A
6 = M/N/O → M → E
Result: E-N-D-G-A-M-E = "ENDGAME"
The "-1" suffix = "Part 1 of the endgame" or "Endgame sequence #1"
Above door: 8 → H (8th letter of alphabet)
Red-coded: I → I (Red = letter I from "ID" screen)
Green-coded: D → D (Green = letter D from "ID" screen)
Right monitor: 5 → E (5th letter of alphabet)
Result: H-I-D-E = "HIDE"
Vault door ring displays: 4-8-15-16-23-42
These are "The Numbers" from TV show LOST
Sum: 4+8+15+16+23+42 = 108
108 is significant in Lost mythology (timer in The Swan station)
Likely the vault combination or extraction key
A=1, B=2, C=3, ... Z=26
"MrBeast" = M(13)+R(18)+B(2)+E(5)+A(1)+S(19)+T(20) = 78
Frame 252 (Greenville NC area code) confirmed this cipher is fundamental.
Tweet metric digit sums consistently = 27 when decoded via A1Z26.
Slack message: "Hey team! Here is the shot we discussed in the call!"
Reaction counts: 15, 20, 22
15th character → T
20th character → O
22nd character → W
Result: TOW = "Tug of War" (confirmed by Squid Game/red team visual)

Hypothesis 1: Run-length encoding for binary data
4 ones, 1 zero, 8 ones, 4 zeros... → binary → ASCII
Hypothesis 2: Index pairs (row,col) for the 9 Sudoku grids
(4,1), (8,4), (1,3), (1,8), (4,1), (1,3)...
Hypothesis 3: Combined with Lost numbers as key
Spider/Tarantula → ? (Web/Network?)
Bird/Canary → Data Cloud / Marketing Cloud
Sine Wave → Wave Analytics / MuleSoft
Chandler + 'D' → ? (D = Data?)
Ear → Einstein Voice / Listening
Head/Brain → Einstein AI
Witch/Dancer → Astro (Salesforce mascot)

Emojis VARY between frames — 3rd position changes most.
This variation may encode additional information.
Slack ad background color ≈ #152022
Embeds the three reaction counts: 15, 20, 22
RGB: R=21 (≈15+6), G=32 (≈20+12), B=34 (≈22+12)
B channel = 2, G channel = 7 → "27" (video title number)
Found on MrBeast's belt (frame 496)
The second '7' is highlighted in RED
Could be: a URL path, a hex code, or a password
With red emphasis: 3X7[7]1 → the red 7 may be the "extraction digit"
M = Green (1)
R = Yellow (2)
B = Blue (3)
E = Red (4)
A = Green (1)
S = Yellow (2)
T = Blue (3)
Pattern: 1-2-3-4-1-2-3 (repeating 4-color cycle)
This may be a key for ordering or decoding other clues.
Street marking: "T7"
T = index marker (position indicator)
7 = 7th letter of nearby word
BARCLAY = B-A-R-C-L-A-Y
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
7th letter → Y
This suggests a multi-frame extraction pattern:
T1=B, T2=A, T3=R, T4=C, T5=L, T6=A, T7=Y
Look for T1-T6 in other frames!
MRS. MAYBELLE → "Ma Bell" (telephone company = call someone)
MRS. MAYBEUR → "Maybe You Are" (the winner)
MRS. MAYBERRY → Mayberry, NC (Andy Griffith + MrBeast's home state)
A1Z26 encoding:
MAY = M(13) + A(1) + Y(25) = 39
BELLE = B(2) + E(5) + L(12) + L(12) + E(5) = 36
Total = 75
Phone keypad:
RED = 7-3-3 → sums to 13, or just "733"
"RED" on keypad also maps to digits that sum to 27 variants
Billboard in Super Bowl ad street scene: "TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY"
Real holiday: September 19 (09/19)
Possible code values: 919, 0919, SEP19
Also references MrBeast video: "I Found A $1,000,000 Pirate Treasure"
Frame 1075: Numbers 7, 5, 3, 1 on weekday labels
Pattern: odd numbers descending
Next in sequence: -1 (or loops to 9?)
7+5+3+1 = 16 (matches Lost number 16)
Could indicate: 4 steps remaining, every-other-day schedule, or extraction indices

@the1Mil — appears in Rewatch video (f00598-599). Even in a troll video, this could be a real breadcrumb planted among the noise.
| Location | Source | Address | Significance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Barclay Hotel | Video 4 | 103 W 4th St, Los Angeles, CA 90013 | Primary set location, 20+ frames |
| The Row DTLA | Video 4 | 777 S Alameda St, Los Angeles, CA | Triple-7s address |

| Charlotte, NC | Video 4 | 704 area code | Phone number 704-BEAST-23 |
Given that:
- The puzzle was designed by Lone Shark Games to unfold over weeks
- Not all clues have been released yet
- The structure involves 9 variety puzzles + extraction keys
- MrBeast said "it's very hard and lots of steps"

The number 3634826 could be latitude 36.34826°N. Combined with the desert QR code location:
- 36.34826°N maps to the Nevada desert near Las Vegas
- The QR code was literally built in the desert at what appears to be this latitude
- A full GPS coordinate would need a longitude (possibly from another clue)
"Big Game" is the non-trademarked way to refer to the Super Bowl. Video 2 has a Slack channel called #project-big-game with exactly 14 members. The number 14 appears to be a key extraction index or grid coordinate.
The 9 puzzles each end in a word. Together they form a clue "in order."
Word 1: _ _ _ _ _ (5 letters)
Word 2: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (9 letters)
Word 3: _ _ _ _ _ (5 letters)
Word 4: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (7 letters)
Word 5: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (8 letters)
Word 6: _ _ _ _ (4 letters)
Word 7: _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ (9 letters)
Word 8: _ _ _ _ _ _ (6 letters)
Word 9: _ _ _ _ _ (5 letters)
Constraint-fitting candidates (educated guesses based on puzzle context):
| Pos | Len | Candidates (speculative) |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 5 | EVERY, FIRST, CRACK, SOLVE, THESE, SPELL, BEGIN, BEAST, WHERE, THEIR |
| 2 | 9 | SOMETHING, CROSSWORD, DIFFERENT, SCAVENGER, ENCRYPTED, ADVENTURE, BEGINNING |
| 3 | 5 | GIVES, FOUND, CLUES, LEADS, WORDS, SPELLS, HIDES, ABOVE |
| 4 | 7 | PUZZLES, ANSWERS, REVEALS, MYSTERY, LEADING, BETWEEN, CORRECT, LETTERS |
| 5 | 8 | TOGETHER, TREASURE, DISCOVER, COMBINED, FOLLOWED, UNLOCKED, MESSAGES, SEQUENCE |
| 6 | 4 | THAT, EACH, WITH, WILL, WHEN, FORM, CODE, HUNT, KEYS, FROM, YOUR, WORD |
| 7 | 9 | SOMETHING, DETERMINE, CONNECTED, DECRYPTED, COMPLETED, ENCRYPTED, DIFFERENT |
| 8 | 6 | HIDDEN, ANSWER, PUZZLE, SEARCH, SECRET, WITHIN, INSIDE, CIPHER, REALLY |
| 9 | 5 | PRIZE, MONEY, WORDS, SOLVE, FINAL, QUEST, VALUE, LIGHT, TRUTH |
Speculative full phrases (will be refined as puzzles are solved):
- "EVERY CROSSWORD CLUES LETTERS COMBINED FORM SOMETHING HIDDEN BELOW"
- "FIRST SOMETHING ABOVE REVEALS TREASURE WITH CONNECTED PUZZLE PIECE"
- "THESE ADVENTURE WORDS CONTAIN MESSAGES THAT DETERMINE HIDDEN CODES"
- "SOLVE DIFFERENT VIDEO PUZZLES TOGETHER THEY CONNECTED SINGLE TRUTH"
NOTE: These are purely speculative. The real words come from solving each Reddit puzzle. The phrase "defines the nature of the search" suggests it's an INSTRUCTION, not a description.
Per Hint #1: "figure out how to get an answer from each weird thing." Each yields ONE answer via standard online codes.

Many more elements remain to be catalogued as Video 4 processing continues.
Per Hint #1, the 9-word clue is "the first step on your journey." This is the entry point.
- Find the 9-video playlist (pinned comment on teaser video)
- Locate all 9 pinned comments linking to Reddit puzzles
- Solve all 9 variety puzzles — each yields a word
- Assemble the 9-word clue (word lengths: 5, 9, 5, 7, 8, 4, 9, 6, 5)
- Interpret the clue — it "defines the nature of the search"
Per Hint #1: "almost everything Jimmy passes by is a clue" and "figure out how to get an answer from each weird thing."
- Catalogue every "weird thing" Jimmy passes in the ad
- Look up standard online codes for each element (confirmed by hint)
- Look in all directions: up, down, forward, backward, behind the scenes
- Each element should yield ONE answer — compile answer list
- Elements identified so far: RED HERRING BANK, BARCLAY HOTEL, TALK LIKE A PIRATE DAY, NO PARKING sign, tanks, parking meter barcode, violation ticket, MRS. MAYBELLE, 7531 countdown, street markings, etc.
Per Hint #1: "you will need specific content from the Super Bowl ad to solve anything there [in the bank]"
- Wait for V4 pipeline to reach bank interior scenes (~frames 2000-3476)
- Map street-scene answers to bank-scene puzzles
- Look for: combination locks, ciphers, grids that use street answers as keys
