How to solve the 100 Studios AD Puzzle
Posted by Dan on Nov 26th 2022, 7:21PM
Taking a look at the ad, there are two strings of text.

oaawz://ddd.iyprwshula.jvt/nbpskz/204/iypjr-thss

oaawz://ddd.iyprwshula.jvt/zovw/3348/op

_____________________________________________

It's almost obvious that these strings of text represent links. Both appear very similar, both beginning with "oaawz://ddd.iyprwshula.jvt"

After some trial and error googling through different ways of encoding and such, I stumbled upon the idea that each letter is just shifted but a certain amount aka a Caesar cipher. This amount is by 7 letters, a hint that darks 100 later dropped.

Using this knowledge, those links can be decoded into

https://www.brickplanet.com/guilds/204/brick-mall

https://www.brickplanet.com/shop/3348/hi

________________________________________________

The second link is what is important. The description of the clothing item "hi" contains:

-.. -- / -.. .- .-. -.- ... / ... .- -.-- .. -. --. / .-..-. .---- ----- ----- / ... - ..- -.. .. --- ... / .. ... / - .... . / -... . ... - -.-.-- .-..-.

Which looks to be morse code that decodes into:

"DM DARKS SAYING "100 STUDIOS IS THE BEST!"

And that's how you solve the 100 Studios Ad puzzle.
