KnoxJ2019

On 2019-01-19, a Twitter account was uncovered by the handle @KnoxJ2019 (full name John Knox) that was posting a series of small puzzles looking for people to solve them.

Twitter Puzzle 1

The first set of tweets included a picture of constellations and a pastebin. The constellations were identified as Cassiopeia, Ursa Major, Ursa Minor, Taurus and Scorpius. The position of each red star within each constellation (as well as the total number of stars) was noted (i.e. Cassiopeia has 5 stars and the 2nd highlighted). Each of these pairs were used for a book cipher with pastebin, with the total number of stars determining the word and the highlighted star number determining the letter. This resulted in the first word - TRUST.

Twitter Puzzle 2

The second set of tweets involved a string of numbers and an alphabetical equation. The string of numbers was solved by working out that every odd-numbered position (1st, 3rd, 5th number) increases by 2 each time, and likewise every even numbered position increases by 3. This resulted in the number 14 which was converted to N as it's position in the alphabet. The alphabetical equation tweet was converted into numbers (G = 7 and A = 1) before being solved. This resulted in the number 15, and therefore the letter O, forming the word NO.

Twitter Puzzle 3

The third set of tweets involved a spam message, an image with a hex colour code, a backwards tweet and cryptic message.

Players first found a clue to the spam message by searching Knox's liked tweets, which included one where Keralis hinted at some form of cipher which is designed to look like spam. The spam message cipher was identified as being spammimic. The message was entered into the decoder to discover the text "12 - x - 14". This was interpreted as a sequence where x is 13 and, therefore, M (the 13th letter).

The solving of these puzzles lead to a phrase TRUST NO MORE which was the name of a site, as was posted by the Twitter account.

Trust No More & Tender Beta

After searching the Trust No More website, Knox was messaged via Twitter [1] regarding an article about Zombies and humans and potential links to Tender from this article [2] Knox replies with information about BetrayedMind1, [3](larger image)who told him about the dangers and experiments that Tender is involved with (as also seen on Trust No More).

Misc. Info

January 9th, 2019 A string was found in a Youtube Video by youtuber Keralis which led to a Pastebin that read "phase 1 initiated". The video was found after Keralis mentioned Knox in a tweet talking about Tender.

Keralis is a good friend of Knox. Knox went to Sweden to visit Keralis in between episode one and two of the 4th season of his Cities: Skylines series.


January 17th, 2019 at 7:35pm PST Knox posted a tweet [4] regarding a code that led to this message: [5]

Following that link leads to an image of the conversation.


January 19th, 2019 In a later video, Keralis posted another code which lead to this message:
