The ARG

The ARG (or Alternate Reality Game) is a puzzle created by Connor Lavery, designed for fans of Khonjin House and Supermental to solve and learn more about both series. As of 26 Oct 2019, the puzzle is over.

## Overview

### Beginning

So it all started with the update video on Khonjin's 4 month Hiatus. It ends with Khonjin saying "Keep looking, there's someone waiting for you" and it just ends right there. This is the start of the ARG. But unfortunately... nothing happened.... No one tried to solve it. Connor then released a video of Khonjin eating a bag of chips, in the description though it said "Khonjin is waiting for someone to solve his riddle" Still nothing.Traction to the riddle began in Khonjin's patreon server when Khonjin made an announcement in his updates channel

### Yes Cigar

This caused a bit of a panic, no one heard of a reward. And the fact that we had 24 hours we needed to work fast. Some weren't in for the reward, some were spectators, some didnt even realize there was a riddle at all. So we all scurried to find clues but we didnt know what to look for. "Keep looking, there's someone waiting for you" We were looking everywhere for this "someone" throwing out guesses on who this someone is, getting nowhere. Khonjin then finally stepped in telling us that we were digging too deep and we just need to look with our eyes. So we start searching through videos trying to find.... something, anything. Being the bumbling idiots we were, we still couldn't find anything. Khonjin then stepped in again saying that the ending of the video would make no sense. Of course we were all confused *the ending making no sense??? This is Khonjin House, nothing makes any sense...* we then landed on Ep.65: Cry About It. Where Khonjin flashes Gino for a free slice of pizza. We start analyzing that video trying to find some kind of clue. Khonjin just kept of repeating "No Cigar" we didnt think much of it at first till we realized there were numbers hidden on Gino's cigar

### The Ending

The numbers that appeared on Gino's cigar and numbers that were said by the characters were collected together and deciphered into the word Ending

So we checked the ending of the episode, while we're checking for the rest of the numbers, Connor mentions that Khonjin gives some numbers too. We start to take wild guesses, Connor keeps trying to help us but increasingly gets more annoyed.

### Four = Zero

After all of our random guesses we eventually land on how at the end of the episode Khonjin says "Oh" 4 times, it's very distorted though, some here four, some hear oh, but eventually Connor just gives us the answer (cause we're idiots)

After being given the answer that we now have four zeros, still being the idiots that we are, we kept making wild guesses, not sure how to use the information we were given, until Connor had to give us yet another answer

### Connor: End Me

Now that we had Ending0000 we still didnt know what to do Cause we're dumb as shit

But we do receive a piece of information that is very valuable

### Spoiler: He continued to help

But yeah, we had no idea where to go from here either. And like a dog with no training, we just wanted the treats. So Connor gave us more hints

And then we got it, a member entered in Ending0000 on the Youtube search bar and found a Youtube channel

A very exciting moments for the team of lazies

As you're reading this you're probably thinking to yourself "These people didnt even do anything to get anywhere, they're all so dumb. So lazy. So naive." Well, we dont see any of you doin any better soOOO

And once we made it to the channel, Connor said this

### Four = Five

When we looked at Ending0000 we realized that there were 4 videos. All exactly 16 seconds. In the videos contained 4 different statements displaying for 4 seconds each (So yeah, 16 seconds) but each line of text had a different font... strange. we found he numbers strange how so many things were relating to the number 4.... Until of course they didnt. See, we spent a long time trying to figure out the meanings behind the messages. Trying to match fonts, trying to guess who was the narrator of these messages, what the number 4 meant, etc. Then when the fifth video came along on a date we guessed due to when the others came out, it was.... different. We figured it was a new narrator because, this was the fifth video. It's 25 seconds long. 5 statements, each displaying for 5 seconds. And we were directed to the number of letters in a character's name. So eventually we figured this new narrator was Pent. He has 4 letters in his name, sure... But Pent means 5. We of course arent sure if this narrator is Pent or who the other narrator is, but that is our suspicion atm

### Supermental is fake :crab:

But while looking at the 4 original videos, instead of starting to solve them from the first one. We worked backwards and figured out that the Supermental Plot leak was fake all along, Connor confirmed this. Explaining he simply pulled it all out of his ass on the spot in order to get some assholes off his back. His team didnt know the full Supermental plot, so making something up in order to convince them that this was the whole plot, was the only way

So the original plot is not going to be rewritten, the plot still stands. The pastebin with the "leaked" plot though, is fake and in order to see the actual plot we just have to wait to see

But yeah that was the last thing we were meant to figure out

Connor did say that everything on the Kickstarter is truthful tho

One thing we've also figured out is that we think of things too deeply

The clues are apparently really obvious (as you can see), but we keep over thinking. Which is our main downfall

### THE CAVE

So the cave

We keep referencing the cave, and we keep getting asked what it is

It means absolutely nothing to the ARG

But i'll explain anyways

The Cave, for those who dont know was Connor deciding to mess with us even though we were working on a deadline. He basically put an echo effect in VC and kept saying "Come into the cave" and "You'll find out everything in the cave" and we were like Even the answer to the riddle?? and Connor was like "Yes." and we were like Ooo, how do we get into the cave?? and he was like "You must first solve the riddle!"

Connor later confirmed in a vc that The Cave was really just a preset on his voice modulation software.

### Beginning 2

We found this image in the flash game's fla file.

### Connor the Poet

The final ending 0000 says

`It will lead you to a creature that cannot be seen...`

`The two will give a clue to the end of the game...`

`...the new and old must be in sync.`

`...new before old old after new.`

The new clue says

`...the new will give a number the old will give a name.`

`...it is the animal that contains the key.`

`The second key lies within the link...`

`Order will bring a challenge into view...`

Those ellipses are important. I've noticed that all the lines line up. Rhyme wise and ellipses wise, except for one line from each. The paired up lines are:

`The two will give a clue to the end of the game... / ...the new will give a number the old will give a name.`

`The second key lies within the link... / ...the new and old must be in sync.`

`Order will bring a challenge into view... / ...new before old old after new.`

`It will lead you to a creature that cannot be seen... / ...it is the animal that contains the key`

### Batter Swing

On 20 Oct 2019, Connor dropped another hint.

### Ending (haha ironic subheading)

As of 21 Oct 2019, Connor removed the password from the uavoulock Tumblr account. The password was apparently "212051449147" or "2-1-20-5-14-4-9-14-7" or "BATENDING" encoded via A1Z26 cipher.

Inside was an image of Shelby which looks a lot like Pent.

## Relation to Khonjin House

Khonjin House was the main outlet for clues. They appeared hidden in several episodes, and multiple episodes like Episode 66: Chip and Episode 70: The End were created with the main purpose of driving the ARG forward.
