After thirteen days of conclusion, nil-solving, and global teamwork, Gravity Falls fans discovered the Pecker Cipher statue at the end of creator and voice histrion Alex Hirsch's worldwide scavenger chase.
#CipherHunt took fans from St. Petersburg, Russia, to Nihon and all the way to Reedsport, Oregon—the same state that is home to the fictional town of Gravity Falls—with a population of around iv,100. Information technology was there that fans found treasure they worked and so hard to find.
And like any skilful discovery, least of all one that thousands of fans had followed and aided religiously for nearly two weeks, it was photographed and televised for the cyberspace to see.
The groups of fans who descended upon Neb'due south statue Tuesday nighttime non only plant the physical form of the triangle dream demon who terrorized the Pines family and the residents of Gravity Falls, but an actual box full of treasure. That contained a smaller version of Bill's statue, faux money, a drawing of the Pines family unit, Nib'southward statue (it read "Trust No One" under UV light), and a couple of letters congratulating the treasure seekers from Hirsch. One came in the form of a written letter visible simply with the UV low-cal.
Congratulations on finding the Bill Cipher statue, Beak'south terminal resting identify! Whosoever finds this treasure is hereby the new "Mayor of Gravity Falls"—then use your championship well! Chances are you didn't do this lone, so share the wealth! You are an astonishing fan!
Your pal, Alex Hirsch
The treasure box likewise contained a USB with an audio message from Grunkle Stan (voiced by Hirsch). Stan sings "We'll Run into Again," a song that Bill Nada (also Hirsch) sings in the serial finale, along with another congratulatory message.
"Um, anyhow, you lot know, have a picture with the statue!" the message said, according to a transcription on Tumblr, which video of the recording corroborates. "G-ge- shake his hand! That'due south kinda similar a prize. And uh, tell everybody how yous—y'all did it start. That makes you the all-time."
Of class, plenty of fans did follow that advice. At i indicate, a baby even touched Neb's hand, which is how Beak Cipher makes his deals, something that inspired some pretty great fanart. Bill made a lot of deals that night.
The discovery of Bill Cipher's statue in the middle of Oregon culminates a near two-calendar week global internet scavenger chase—and the first seeds of which were planted even earlier. Hirsch launched the hunt on Twitter, and fans chop-chop scrambled and reached out to beyond fandoms, communities, and countries for help finding the clues. It was incommunicable for ane person to do it and the #CipherHunt was more most teamwork than any individual getting to the statue first, and then people chop-chop collaborated. After a strong kickoff, the chase stalled as one of the clues wasn't in the place it was supposed to be.

Hirsch changed gears to reveal the next clue, which led fans near Griffith Observatory in Los Angeles. The hunt took fans to California Country Summer Schoolhouse for the Arts, and a P.O. Box that contained a behemothic puzzle, and they even got some help from Hirsch'due south twin sister Ariel and Dipper Pines himself, Jason Ritter.
The real-life puzzle took days to complete, merely fans online also could solve a digital version. Completing both would give fans access to the show'due south original airplane pilot besides every bit extra scenes.
The concluding clue, located on the aforementioned photo as the first one, led fans to Reedsport, and then the final resting identify of Beak Cypher was revealed. And in that location information technology will stay for the time being as more fans are able to travel to come across information technology. Hirsch expressed gratitude equally he thanked the fans for a hell of a ride.
