ATTENTION CLIQUE
Here’s the part long awaited explanation thread for how each level was solved and how each code was found!
feel free to ask any questions, i’ll do my best to answer! please retweet for reach!!
here we go
#twentyonepilots #lvlcnrn #LevelOfConcern

Getting Started:
after recieving the hints from @twentyonepilots leading up to what was happening this past Friday with the livestream, we got this phone number: 1-877-lvl-cnrn
by calling this number we got this audio to get us started on the hunt!

The phone call provided us with our first hint!
if you click the link in the description of the Livestream you’ll be sent to usb.twentyonepilots.com
which is where you’ll enter the codes you find and open the drive files unlocked!

the very first hint received is from the end of the phone call from Nigel, saying “It’s hidden in the static”
if you pay attention to the livestream, the code appears hidden in the static of the TV screen like so.
this reveals Code 1: LOC-491-555-09JKL

Finding Code 2 used another hint from Nigel’s phone call, “We have hidden codes all around the internet for you”
the code was posted in pieces across different form of social media using the @lvlcnrn accounts. sorry for the blurry pics 😂 LOC-896-159-07TLO

Code 3
i’m gonna be honest, not entirely sure how this one was found. the account that seemed to post it first was marked as @mylttlqrntn
if i find more information on it i’ll update 👍👍 LOC-333-998-62JK!

Code 4
another one i don’t honestly know what happened, the first few codes were found very fast without a lot of explanation or cooperation
people in the discord found it in the comments of a twitch stream that has been comfirmed fake 🤷‍♀️ i’ll update on this LOC-914-639-00WR7

Code 5
the hint for this code was ZOOM.JPG from USB4 LOC-099-564-17GWX
by zooming on in the picture you could find the code. here’s an example of it:

Code 6
this came from the LOC lyrics! In USB5 you’ll find file UNDERNEATHTHESURFACE.JPG
it a QR code that will take you to the LOC music vid. going to the lyric from the file with captions on will reveal the code! LOC-888-481-90TO?

Code 7
this came from a crossword puzzle in file 16WORDS.jpg
if you solve and find all 16 words (which are song titles) the uncrossed letters and numbers will read the code going from left to right and top to bottom! LOC-674-133-11JCS

CODE 8
from "heterogram.mp4" in USB7
The vid contains this text:
BAD-OLE-MIX-YURTS
CL6-3!9-O31-!379J
This is the code but scrambled "bad ole mix yurts" is an anagram of ambidextrously...

If you swap the letters around ('b' in position 1 goes to position 3, so 'c' is the 3rd character, etc.) you get the code. LOC-369-197-33J!!

CODE 9
this came from video.mp4 in USB8
This text: < ;PV=356=622=0-BCX
Look at your keyboard and move one letter left, this is how you get code 9 (; goes to L, P goes to O, etc.)
LOC-245-511-90VXZ

CODE 10
this came from shortwaves.mp4 in USB9, which has morse code
.-.. --- -.-. -....- / -....- ....- .---- ..... -....- / -....- .---- ---.. -.... -....- / -....- ----- ....- .-.. --.- .-..
this directly translates to the code
LOC-415-186-04LQL

CODE 11 LOC-913-883-74ZNB
this is from words.mp4 in USB10, which flashed a series of letters:
S0572 LB641 FL133-TP34 TP93 TP11-PC24 PC21 TP11- L25 TP12 JB974 0TS476 TH481
S0 =Stressed Out
LB= Lane Boy
FL= Fairly Local
TP=The pantaloon
PC= Pet Cheetah
L=LEvitate...

JB= Johnny Boy
TH = THE HYPE
OTS= Ode to Sleep
you take the number next to the song Take "SO572". Stressed Out, Line 5, Word 7, Character 2 - L
the way to count the 'lines' isnt
exactly clear, in the later breakdown hopefully we’ll get a better explanation for each specific digit

CODE 12 LOC-854-819-52?BI
this code was an audio hint found in HELLSCHREIBER.MP4
the audio is encoded so that a hellschreiber machine can interpret it. by downloading a hellschreiber decoder you’ll be able to read the audio. here’s a waveform for one cycle of the code.

CODE 13
boy was this one a doozy 😂
Inside USB12 there’s clue.jpg which has a link to the website
…totellmewerealrighttellmewereokay.com
Enter the password in the image, lvlcnrn
follow the prompts on the website and you’ll be prompted to find the 3 keywords...

k1: what H becomes before it emerges as O
H.jpg is an image of a caterpillar and O.jpg is an image of a butterfly, so before a caterpillar can become a butterfly it will become a chrysalis, which is your first keyword...

k2: the longest diagonal
this was the easiest keyword to find, the longest diagonal in the previous crossword puzzle was blurryface, giving us our second keyword...

k3: will be posted by password
this one confused us at first, leading us to find a dummy password that looked much like the codes we’ve been finding, but later we put together that it was to be posted by the @lvlcnrn accounts...

throughout the next hour and some, the letters Ti, Do, Ri, On, In, Ct, and Na were posted around different forms of social media (instagram, the youtube stream description, and twitter) rearranging these gives you the word indoctrination, which is your third keyword...

entering:
chrysalis blurryface indoctrination
into the prompt will give you code 13!
LOC-TW1-HYP-31!?R

CODE 14
by putting EYE.JPG in a text editor you will reveal a set of coordinates in the middle of the text. if you use google maps you’ll get these locations. the buildings form the code
LOC-118-397-90VPI

CODE 15
In USB14, numbersstation.mp3 has a woman speaking individual digits
She says something at the end but we're not sure what she says, sound like “unit”
76 79 67 45 52 56 50 45 49 53 54 45 51 51 33 83 85
If you plug this into a decimal to ASCII converter you get code 15...

here’s Code 15 btw
LOC-482-156-33!SU

In the mean time while all this was happening, some of our very intelligent theorists found and decided the symbols we’ve been seeing through the game. they form an alphabet and numbers

CODE 16 LOC-522-325-61JAD
this code was kinda complicate. the files in 15 contained videos of a flower blooming out of order, which we organized and used this method to decode it. i wasn’t too involved in this investigation so i don’t understand completely

CODE 17
this came from using a waveform analyzer on programsect.mp3 from USB16 and translating the symbols using the alphabet table

CODE 18
this one had us for a while.
by using NOASHES.JPG you have to go from one corner to another. the amount of each symbol in a square is how many places you can move in any directions. the symbols you land on to get to the end create the code. it’s a game. LOC-363-905-64NLA

AND FINALLY CODE 19
Code 19 was found by: the title of music.jpg in USB18 translates to "Hip Alfresco" which is an anagram of "Solfa Cipher"
Using these settings wmich.edu/mus-theo/solfa…
...
LOC-907-696-51SCP

we DO NOT have code 20 yet, but we have a hint from braille. If you look in the source code (of the main LOC website, using the Developer Tools), there's a minifed css file. It's not CSS, it's just a comment with a URL encoded string.
Decode the string to get the braille!

from README.JPG you’ll get symbols that can be decoded to “Go to the source”
within the source of usb.twentyonepilots.com you’ll find a the encoded string.

and that’s all for now!
questions are welcome!! we found a lot more within this that weren’t used to directly find the codes and i’ll try to go over those a bit!! #twentyonepilots #lvlcnrn #LevelOfConcern

@/Rice🐍 on the clique discord created this!!
