CICADA 3301

Some puzzles are made for fun,
but what should you think about this one?

What if we told you that one of the greatest unsolved mysteries of the internet wasn’t created by a cult, a hacker group, or a clever marketing stunt—but by something far bigger than you could ever imagine?

This T-shirt descends into the murky, brain-scrambling depths of Cicada 3301—a name etched into internet folklore since 2012. It all began with a single post, claiming to seek “highly intelligent individuals.” No company. No face. Just a cicada symbol... and silence.

Since then, only a few have made it past the first layers—decoding prime number sequences, ancient runes, steganographic images, cryptic book ciphers, and real-world GPS coordinates.
The rest? Left behind.
Scratching their heads. Doubting reality. Searching for meaning in static.

On the front, this shirt features the words "Liber Primus" in Elder Futhark runes, a direct reference to the mythical, half-solved book embedded deep within the puzzle—one that taunts those who dare to translate it.
A book of whispers and warnings, as elegant as it is unreadable.

On the back: the ominous Cicada sigil spreads its wings beneath “3301”—a number now permanently carved into the minds of digital truth-seekers. Beneath it, more runes that translate to:
“Symbols. Numbers. Whispers. Everything is a code.”
And perhaps, everything really is.

But here's where it gets unsettling. The shirt itself may be part of something more.
The grey-ash tone? Chosen not just for style, but because it blurs the boundary between visibility and invisibility.
The placement of the runes? Aligned with cryptic precision.
The thread patterns? Speculated to mirror frequency-based encoding structures (don’t ask how—we're not cleared to say).

And the best part?
No one knows who created Cicada 3301.
Governments deny involvement. Hackers are baffled. Cryptographers have gone quiet.
Conspiracy theorists? Utterly obsessed.

But maybe—just maybe—the real puzzle...
...is why you’re still reading this.
