The Rick and Morty ARG, also known as the Galactic Federation ARG, was a teaser ARG for Season 3 of Rick and Morty, a popular television show on the Adult Swim network. The ARG took place over the Galactic Federation site, as well as over social media. However, there is some skepticism around the idea of this being an actual arg, as there are yet to be any puzzles to solve.

Galactic Federation Site

The ARG began when the official Rick and Morty tweeted a link to http://galacticfederation.com, a site within the fiction of the Rick and Morty universe. The Galactic Federation site is supposed to allow people to sign up for Federation Rewards Cards; however, clicking on the link to get a rewards card on the front page starts a "glitching" animation that eventually leads users to this terminal instead, found at fedconnect.galacticfederation.com.

Fedconnect Terminal

At the terminal, users are presented to access the Prisoner Database with two options. The first option is to enter in a prisoner's ID to view the prisoner, and the second is to do a view a random prisoner. The database is full of Easter eggs depending on the number you enter (for example, a Meeseeks can be found using prisoner ID# CG-9990-I). Users can access Rick Sanchez's prisoner page by entering his ID number from the show: AE-3852-I.

On Rick's prisoner page, typing "FREE_RICK" into the console yields the following message:

Object {apiURL: "https://mv8l6wigkg.execute-api.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/production", stage:"prod", domainUrl:"https://prison.galacticfederation.com", share: Object}

At the time of writing, the link in the line of code above leads to a page that simply says:

{"message":"Missing Authentication Token"}

However, there is evidence that this means absolutely nothing.

Mr. Poopy Butthole Gifs

A piece of ARG-like material has emerged. Over a series of episode clips and other clips from social media (mainly Facebook), a series of gifs were found all involving Mr. Poopy Butthole. On the Rick and Morty subreddit, user pixelpushing was able to interpret some sort of code based on the order of the gifs and what they looked like. He managed to establish this:

Repeat name [---?---] [---?---] watch for reveal. Ready, steady...

Though this could be reading too deep into these gifs, it is possible that this message was intentional.
