My cryptoart and puzzle quest starts now /// The Rabbit Zone 01 /// 10 SBD prize if you can decode the mystery!

in art •  7 years ago  (edited)

You woke up this morning with a strange feeling. It was slight, almost imperceptible, but something just felt... off.

rabbitheader.jpg

Perhaps you've been noticing an odd hum. Can you hear it?

You may not have been aware but this isn't the first time you've stepped into The Rabbit Zone. It's been simple enough to step back into reality before, but the pull is getting stronger and the only way out is to find the keyword.

.1


You have everything you need in this post to start your journey. The first one to leave the keyword in the comments below will be released from this purgatory and receive 10 SBD for their efforts. There will be no second game if the first remains unsolved.

I hope you don't get stuck in The Rabbit Zone for too long, it isn't good for your psyche.

Enjoy the path, there is art, poetry and music along the way but also a few decoys.

Best of luck my little rabbits.

UPDATE! A clue has been released!

Deja vu?

We meet again :)

Ugh...

Silly Rabbit,maybe you've been down this path before.. CLUE!

I have no idea whats going on but i'm pretty sure the answer is 42 :)

What a wicked thing to do, to make me dream of you...

Silly Rabbit, 42 isn't the answer, maybe this will help CLUE!

I C U

REALITY is elusive, I fail to SEE. THOUGHTS carry me away in a torrent. The erosion of my sanity is imminent.


That's the only rabbit I know of

ugh... gutenberg is blocked in my country... I'm off to a rough start!

V should help and a quick answer... hmmm... that rabbit hole is quite curvy!

Ok... I am confused... Conciousness is missing an S... it feels like we are speaking of Visions... but what does @torico have to do with all this?

I've been able to at least figure out that the gutenberg link should point to a copy of Alice, too... do i need this link working to solve it?

I'm stuck somewhere in the hum and thumb of a heartbeat, a psilocybin induced state of trance... echoing through the chambers of my consciousness, unfolding visions of ambiguous clarity, losing abstraction and seeing what is... like the heron, catching the fish.

ok... one mindful minute of meditation now... I'm confused but I thank you for that great trip ;)

You seemed to have been on the right track maybe this will help CLUE!

CgwOFBYY - 10 12 14 20 22 24 ...

is that it? did I reach a dead end, or should I dig even further?

Why is V essential? It said the end is near. I went from QR to 10 to 64 the last 2 steps reversed is what you find up there

CgwOFBYY is incorrect, perhaps you haven't put 2 and 2 together?

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

all I had was ones and zeroes.

I'll pick it back up where the end was near... but I think I am stuck.

P.S.: Nah... I get stuck on the 10 12 14... I fail to fit V in anywhere...

is the VIEWPDF.gif a valid hint? That didn't open any doors for me?

oh it bothers me I have no idea what you are talking about ha i thought i was getting somewhere!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

have you made it into the rabbitzone on weebly?

I'm stuck at door 10

nope! I thought i was making progress yesterday, from here to youtube to the heron back to here to toricos comment reply, memos...then brick wall!

I just arrived at JLNTVX ... but then I found that has been tried multiple times aleady!

Alarm clock (hear the hum?)
Mask
Sleep
Awaken...(pull yourself out of the dream)...

🍄

Silly Rabbit, have you been awakened... CLUE!

Not sure how to crack this. I listened to "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane for some clues. However, I don't think this strange feeling is drug-induced. If it were, my guess would be "MUSHROOMS"

I think the hum may just be due to some white noise because you left the TV or stereo on, or played a DVD/VHS that ended??? so maybe the keyword is TELEVISION

Then again, it may be that you accidentally slept with your contacts in and then upon awakening, put another set in your eyes, which would explain the blurry vision. CONTACTS

I'm not sure Regis - I think I'd like to phone a friend....

👯‍♀️

Your phone a friend is here CLUE!

The key word is: Frame / Focus @ juliakponsford

Silly Rabbit, I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

la respuesta clave es el amor oh engaño!!!!

Conspiracy?

Silly Rabbit, I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

I have followed the "Rabbit" and got nowhere lol
This is interesting though, would get back after you throw off some hints :)

Ask and ye shall receive... CLUE!

Ok i think i got it its "danger" thats what im going with but would be mad if its little boy such a good story and soany choices to choose from.

Hope this isn't just a bunch Foo Foo nonsense. Guess I'll find out. No going back now.

Silly Rabbit, I thought you'd be further ahead by now, no foo foo here... CLUE!

The only things coming to mind for me is "Easter" or "Equinox".

Silly Rabbit, I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

Smart ,creative,good post,

Hmm... I am not sure if other links have a connection? or is just the pdf as the image says.

Silly Rabbit,maybe you need to think harder... CLUE!

Do the numbers represent the first letter of each line? NYWNIW

could this be it? its currently 1am here and i have well and truly been down the rabbit hole!

Silly Rabbit, it seems you have tried, I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

The clue led me down some unexplored paths that involved Alan Watts, time travelling, an inner eye and some doors. I finally got to a numeric sequence. There's so many things it could mean. I was also told along the way that V is essential. V is also a Roman numeral for 5, so maybe numbers could be letters? If so the keyword is XXIIXIVXXXXIIXXIV. Or with the spaces, X XII XIV XX XXII XXIV. This has been quite the adventure and probably the deepest this rabbit-turtle can go.

eager to see if this is correct but i sense not! sounds like you are at the same stage as me!

loneliness??

Silly Rabbit, it is harder when lonely, I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

Follow the white rabbit?

Silly Rabbit, just follow the DFLO... CLUE!

I love this!!! been looking at this now for a while and not found anything. Are those rabbit dolls in the picture eating carrots in some kind of 'cicada in a plaguemask' fashion? ... now theres a question?? Def coming back to this!!??

Silly termite, I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

Repeat

Silly Rabbit, you need to be more in tune :D... CLUE!

Play

Yes we are playing Silly Rabbit, I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

INTERRUPTOR

Silly Rabbit, maybe this will interrupt... CLUE!

The keyword is distorted.

Or perhaps delusion.

Silly Rabbit, this is no delusion... CLUE!

The green zone rabbit

Silly Rabbit, no green zone here... CLUE!

I'm pretty sure it's shawarma! Yum!

Distortion?

A disoriented trance of divided ruins, frozen in balance within a mindfulness, zen dreamland pathway to awareness and fate?

This is lovely you Silly Rabbit, but I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

meditation

Silly Rabbit you of all people should be able to find the way, I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

I'm terrible at this. Could it be SILENCE?

Silly Rabbit, shhhhhhh... CLUE!

language

Snowwhite

Silly Rabbit, Snow White is nowhere to be seen... CLUE!

autotracking

tracking

mm...coulb be "Easter"

or.. "halloween"

Silly Rabbit, I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

The keyword is reality.

hallucination

serendipity

code

visualize

Is it wonderland?

Silly Rabbit, are you in wonderland? ... CLUE!

Morpheus

read

code

I'm going to suggest three that are essentially the same: ego, self, identity.

Silly Rabbit, I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

confusion

Identity

Silly Disco Rabbit, I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

yea u silly disco rabbit >:)

or, see

Exit?

Silly Rabbit, maybe this will be an exit... CLUE!

Alice

Silly Rabbit, Alice is not here... CLUE!

I love it. I will not be looking for the keyword because I want to remain in the rabbit zone. However, seeing the thought streams of the other participants is really great. This is important work :) x

Silly Rabbit, if you want to get deeper into the zone go here... CLUE!

Hare it is.

Silly Rabbit, a nice pun but I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

I haven't a clue what's going on or even, dare I admit it, what I am meant to do?

To me the images make me think of the cool old 1970's production of Alice in Wonderland as Drug awareness film. Which by the way always loved for the art and sytlised sort of art nouveau drawings in it. I know I haven't a clue what to do, so I'll just share the video I'm talking about :) Then I'll resteem this and see if some other unsuspecting Steemian can innocently and casually fall down your rabbit hole of confusing challenges ;)

Silly Rabbit this is beautiful, but I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

My final answer is 'WONDERLAND'.

Silly Rabbit, we are in wonderland... CLUE!

wise words: thought see consciousness
or like in video: thought thought thought thought thought see see see thought thought see consciousness thought see see thought

Silly Rabbit, someone is thinking hard but I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

So I read both the posts and what seems to be in common is entering a rabbit hole, but more than that they both talk about change which is what Alice in Wonderland is kind of about too. There's also reference of taking the middle path as a sort of balance. The keyword could be anything related to these themes, no one word stands out. If I had to guess I would say maybe it's 'Change'

Interesting thought process Silly Rabbit, I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

@juliakponsford This is a very interesting post, contest and content.... as you say ... I think I had been for too long in the rabbit zone, but I have a question... can I do more than one entry for this "mystery game"??

Silly Rabbit, I thought you'd be further ahead by now this post may help... CLUE!

The key word is: Easter...

Silly Rabbit, I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

Can we cooperate for solving? In the post stated that first one will receive SBD but no word that we cannot help each other. So if somebody wants to cooperate please write me on discord CleverShovel#7855 (better on discord).

Cooperation is allowed, only one may claim the SBD and split it how they choose!

Let me try, keyword: hangover

I wonder what kind of hype on the chatroom, now I've found it. :D

Silly Rabbit, I thought you'd be further ahead by now, the chatroom is a distraction :D ... CLUE!

Might as well give it a go :)
The keyword is passageway

Silly Rabbit, I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

at the risk of sounding stupid....

Alice. or myself...

Frisbee?

the key word is dream

Silly Rabbit,maybe this is a dream... CLUE!

the key word is 9999 @juliankponsford

Silly Rabbit, I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

"Clue! Clue!"
How many answers can we give? This is kind of mind-boggling.

I wonder what the keyword is. So if it's keyword then it is just a single word right?

Is it Statue of Liberty? Oh but that's not one word... Liberty?

Japan? Neko? Oh wait, maybe it's Pikachu!!! Lol.

Ooooh wait. DONNIE DARKO! Wait, no... It's FRANK!

Silly Rabbit, I thought you'd be further ahead by now... CLUE!

Great story I read it all but cant find a keyword, maybe its walk in the middle or its the rabbit idk but great story

You may not have been aware but this isn't the first time you've stepped into The Rabbit Zone. It's been simple enough to step back into reality before, but the pull is getting stronger...

the rabbit zone...
is perhaps rumination ?
cause too much pondering,

...isn't good for your psyche...

But i don't even know what we ought to decode lol
Ugh i've opened this post and now i'm curious what the answer is! If no one guesses this correctly, i hope the answer will still be revealed.
^o^

@juliakponsford Listening to @vachemorte and reading this post . Almost surreal to say the least. What have you done to us?
