The Livestream

Please note this page is a current work in progress as events unfold, clues could have possibly been missed.

April 30th at 8.30pm  The countdown clock on the Livestream video reached 0. The live stream began simultaneously across the Ash Vlogs Youtube channel, the i_know_where_she_is Twitch and Dlive accounts. People were also able to donate money, for their message to be read aloud via a Text to speech during the stream.

A building can be seen via various cameras installed. Inside are many rooms. There are people being held captive in the rooms. At least two men with masked faces appear to be visiting rooms and feeding captives. One room which looks like a shed, IKWSI symbols painted on the wall, has Markus laying on the floor, still in the hospital gown with the bag over his head, his arms are tied behind his back. Another room appears to show someone being held inside a bathtub, chained at the waist and head covered. The camera feed view is changed at 15 minute intervals to show a different area of the building. There appear to be at least one cool room (blue room), one storage room with named boxes and another room with a dirty bench top and tv.

Inside the storage room there are shelves with black plastic boxes. The boxes seen so far have the names Sophie, Claire and Leah. Clues began to appear in each 15 minute segment. Letters began to flash up on screen and when put together lead to http://ibb.co/pQm7f0T  titled i_ The description was many lines of the ⛓ emoji. When this image is run through a steganography website, a hidden code can be seen on the bottom of the image.

This is a Vigenere cipher using the key DRARGO, the result is ljqonvxoh imfindingmyselfthroughthisorbecomingmoredetachedpartofmewantstossoppartofmewantstogodeeper

Music is played at a slowed down speed whilst we see the person being held in the bathtub. Water is slowly pouring in.

When sped up the song is revealed to be "Louie Louie"  Could this be a hint towards Kate's ex boyfriend?

Whistling was heard. When the notes whistled were decoded, it spells out FEED

Around 11pm Adelaide time, we see the storage boxes again and begin to receive pieces of QR code. Four pieces in total. When placed together it leads to this Streamable called "it's got that feeling". This is an old advertising campaign for Adelaide, South Australia however there was some extra footage added to it and at the end of the video, an A1Z26 cipher can be seen. 20 9 14 25. 3 3. This leads us to tiny cc shedeservedit

A image called know_. Running this image again through a steganography website we can see it has the same Vigenere cipher as the previous ibb image from earlier in the night.

A blurry image flashes on screen which was found to link to the IKWSI Soundcloud account.

Men in the blue cold room held up an image to the camera with a link to the google drive allowing people to download their own copy of dripspeak.exe for ease of decoding later.

At Midnight Adelaide time, the camera showing the table with the tv screen was visible, playing the VHS recording that was found in Kuitpo Forest

At 12.20am a reversed Youtube URL popped up on screen leading to it's got that feeling The Adelaide advertisement video that was also seen in the Streamable earlier in the evening. The description asks you 'can you feel it too' The same inserted footage can be seen in this video also.

12.15am saw the return of the person in the bath, you can see a chain is around their waist. A black gloved hand reaches over and adjusts the water. This time there is slightly different slowed down piece of music playing. This is another version of Louie Louie.

Around 12.40am a man comes into the shed and takes Markus away.

12.45am a voice can be heard  "Drips, listen very carefully, we will say this only once. https://ibb.co j capital G h capital M capital N m capital B.  leading to https://ibb.co/jGhMNmB  giving another piece of the Youtube URL puzzle. This image is titled where_ and has multiple chain link emojis in the description.

Just after 1am we can two bodies have been placed in the cool room. Men hold up a QR code. This took you to

bitdo/little_animals  which then lead to http://freetexthost.com/l2dg2cv23n  Using the password FEED then lead to a google drive with a slider puzzle.

The next code to flash up on screen with mixed letters is https://ibb.co/mqX27wj   with the title would_ There is a line of Drip speak code on the image and this translates to https://youtu.be/E_ The description on this video has a link to this streamable video.

https://streamable.com/lrqvc  You can see fingers showing the pattern of 32154. When they are reversed, and then put through an A1Z26 decoder, it spells wyltk  - would you like to know

https://ibb.co/5RfM0s7 titled she_  gives yet more of the Youtube link.

A QR code has been stuck to the wall in the storage room which leads viewers to the Stingray Bandcamp

https://streamable.com/1crpc keep watching.

Markus is back in the shed, laying on the floor. On the wall behind him you can see a piece of paper with blurry text. fpx7I. Combining that with Streamable takes you to You know what to do. Screaming can be heard and multiple X's flash on the video.

https://ibb.co/5Bws0N4 This is read out by someone sounding forced to read it. titled you_  Using steganography on the image revealed more code. When run through a cipher it translates to HERDADWASASATANISTSHESAIDHEDRAGGEDHERANDHERSISTERSDOWNINTOTHETUNNE LSHERMOTHERNEVERBELIEVEDHERAround 3.40am the Snapchat ghost can be seen on the storage room wall with the words Drips, lets talk. A new story was added to the happy_drip Snapchat account showing ASL for "Look Carefully" and some Zodiac symbols. The Zodiac cipher translates to tiny cc wylts This image is titled see_ This image appears to hold part of a code. %qP8c8Gy

https://ibb.co/jvzdr51 with the title look_deeper  The braille in this image translates to burn it down

Another link is held up to the camera. bit (dot) do and an anagram  allan_mistitle which turns into little_animals

Around 5am the rest of the Soundcloud URL was revealed. Leading us to this audio with a VHS emoji for a title. A spectrogram of the audio revealed a code y52k3p6u

The code in the description HUTYRTNLPICMTO, when decoded using a rail fence cipher gives tiny url dot com (spelled out here to bypass the fandom spam filter)

The numbers in the cover photo read: "i've worked the numbers i could tonight i could tomorrow night as long as i know that i can i wont i just need to know that i ca(n)"

A new black box has been added to the shelf on the right of the storage room with the name Olly.

Combing the tiny url clue with the hidden spectrogram code takes you to an IBB image  titled is_  This gives the last piece of the puzzle to complete a Youtube URL. https://youtu.be/rywWLgqyYqw  This video is called forest stroll. Hidden tags on the video include happy trusted her the most, IdWwHa-OlMc The description read "10 drips will comment river and we will unlock"  After 10 drips had commented, the description on the video changed to k1: m9x^WpkcN9whBdfj,  The hidden tag code lead to another Youtube video learn their fears.

Players that were not involved in the Snapchat game were finally able to see the videos that were sent to the Discord group members who participated. The description in this video leads to a google drive leading to the google drive containing lines of  drip speak code and also https://ibb.co/Yh4xy1x

The google drive also contains a tiny url link to download the slide. rar puzzle

The above drip speak decoded gave information on a book cipher. Using a book that Ash referenced in an earlier video - a single man by Christopher Isherwood the translation became "hello drip are you in control or are you afraid of seeing death they dragged the children down the tunnels  they made me watch the house fathers joined in  they made me hold the knife  you blur the power  they wont know what's real and what isn't any more  because I don't.  fdqBJKb." The code at the end leads to https://ibb.co/fdqBJKb with the description ♒⧫⧫p⬧????????????♌♓⧫????●⍓????????◆✌☞????????♒. Using steganography on the image reveals

The description decoded in wingdings is HTTPS????????????BIT????LY????????UAF????????H. The bitly link leads to a reddit post that describes a game of 15 puzzle (which helped for solving slide.rar)

The live stream began to replay from the beginning with another countdown timer enabled.
