On October 7th, the main PUBG Twitter account shared this Twitter post with a video and the caption:

On tonight’s episode of Mysteries Unknown we explore the dark history around a plateau in Peru with some perplexing properties.

And with a link to PUBG Lore site.

October 7th

The website first showed several photos and objects with a Get Notified box that allowed you to enter your email address, a notification button and a share button. This is what was later called the Staging Area

Staging Area

. It is to note that after the website was updated, you could no longer access the staging area but it was later found on a separate link.

After entering an email address to be notified, 6 elements in the background start glitching and was discovered to be clickable. On the click, a very quick video of a few seconds would play and you would get a prompt to enter a passcode.

SPOILER

Each elements indicated a specific map in the PUBG game.

Entering the proper map name would give you a specific sentence and the image corresponding to that map would not longer be interactable.

Here are the passcodes and what they are attached to:

• Erangel - The chest pawn - Will you embrace who you are meant to be?
  
• Vikendi - The dinosaurs - But I found a new father. And I like his game much better.
  
• Karakin - The broken statue - Every secret. I know it all.
  
• Miramar - The lighter - What do you know about him? What has he told you about his plans?
  
• Sanhok - The food - Do you know how much these people pay to watch this?
  
• Paramo - The volcano - But what if he didn't have to die at all?

Once all 6 passcode were entered, a new message appeared:
You have proven yourself. Magna Venari.

October 15th

On October 15th, it was noticed that the website had been updated and the staging area had disappear. The website now contained many entries, such as characters lore, journals, and other stories. You could also notice that some of the locked entries had a corresponding date to them which was speculated to be their unlocking date. Unfortunately, nothing was discovered before the website was changed once more. We also did not find any way to access these pages once they were gone.

October 16th

On October 16th, the website was put in maintenance with this message:
Updating Coming back online shortly...

SPOILER

A quick look in the source code revealed this line:

<meta property="Yes, you!" content="Ubj bevtvany, n Pnrfne plcure... Trg ernql sevraqf, guvf vf bayl gur ortvaavat.">
It was identified as a Caesar cypher:
How original, a Caesar cypher... Get ready friends, this is only the beginning

A new line also appeared an hour after this was found:
<-- Status: 1% -->
And again changed a few hours after to:
<-- Status: 3.14159265359% -->
This new status matched the Pi number but no significance was found in relation to the website.
