Neuko Puzzle Guide
"The joy comes from the exploration of the unknown."
Puzzles are the core engagement engine of Neuko. They are not just fun diversions; they are social experiments designed to test collaboration, conviction, and attention to detail.
Philosophy
- No Cheat Sheet: The team will never give a direct answer. Discovery is the product.
- Collaborative: Puzzles are often too hard for one person. They require the "hive mind" to solve.
- Integrated: Real community members are often woven into the puzzles (e.g., receiving codes to distribute).
Common Techniques
If you want to be an Operative, you need to know how to look.
1. Audio Spectrograms
What to look for: Images hidden in sound waves. How to solve: Download the video's audio and run it through a spectrogram viewer (like Audacity or online tools). History: First discovered by @0xstateoftheart in Post #5.
2. Visual Contrast Codes
What to look for: Hidden text that only appears when brightness/contrast is manipulated. How to solve: Take screenshots of dark or glitchy scenes. Crank up the exposure and contrast in Photoshop/GIMP. History: Used in Post #7 to hide code words like "HOOTS-49".
3. Website Console Logs
What to look for: Hidden messages in the browser's developer console. How to solve: Go to neuko.ai, right-click -> Inspect -> Console. Look for text logs or hidden .txt files. History: Discovered by @thrax_nft, revealing G*Boy's escape logs.
4. Frame-by-Frame Analysis
What to look for: Single-frame glitches containing numbers, letters, or QR codes. How to solve: Download the video and step through it frame by frame.
