  • Everyone’s talking about how intelligent the puzzle’s solvers are but not how skilled the puzzle’s creators were.

    Imagine getting to the end and getting rick rolled.
  • @molly6954
    imagine u just saw the poster one day and was like "that seems cool, i'll scan that" and you get recruited by a cybercult
  • @phoenixboi3348
    Imagine CICADA watching this video and laughing their asses off at the theories 💀💀💀💀
  • @NihilOni
    Imagine reaching the final step and it says “you can now play as Luigi”
  • @Ewanaj
    The finalists get toothpaste that 10/10 dentists recommend
  • @Nitram930
    This has potential to be the greatest Rick Roll in history of the Internet
  • @Birdiesstars
    Has anyone ever considered the lifecycle of a periodical cicada? In the US, they famously have developmental periods of 13 years and 17 years depending on the species. It’s been 11 years and 9 years since the first Cicada 3301 posts. Maybe we just need to be patient like they said.
  • @-stormcloud
    imagine a 10 year old calling his mom but misses it by one digit and ends up calling the cicada number
  • @onyxxxyno
    People who assumed this was a recruiting test for a secret organization just don't get how passionate puzzle people can be about puzzles.
  • @thetecnojet
    Dora surely ain't gonna figure this shit out
  • @julil3021
    I love that it’s called cicada. A ton of noise cause by a small, insignificant insect
  • @Nurr0
    5 years after watching this and I STILL desperately want to know what Cicada 3301 actually was (and this is still worth a re-watch!).
  • @sagar6164
    youtube randomly recommending me this after 5 years
  • @thatdogewithvr
    I swear the thumbnail made me feel like this was a horror internet story
  • @kinhamid9665
    At the end there’s a small text saying: “The real prize was the friends we made along the way. Thanks for playing.”
  • @sawsaurus2779
    As soon as there was that glitch as the transition my heart dropped. I was so entrapped in the video that I was got off guard and had no idea what was going on, not to mention all those letters and numbers on the screen didn't help😅
