Why So Serious Mausoleum November 27th, 2007

EDIT: Look­ing for the “It’s all part of the plan” safe codes? Check our cov­er­age here: “It’s all part of the plan — Why So Seri­ous

EDIT 2: Now a new site has been revealed, http://​www​.gothamusd​.net/ — The Gotham Uni­fied School District

EDIT: OPENED…

It’s a vault! Why So Seri­ous has a sec­ond secret stage dis­cov­ered in the per­son­al­ity pro­file… http://​www​.whysose​ri​ous​.com/​m​a​u​s​o​l​e​um/ Thanks to Hol­ly­wood Chicago for the heads up!

The secret itself was found by look­ing at the let­ters in the var­i­ous lev­els you could achieve on the pro­filer, it was found that tak­ing one let­ter from each could spell mau­soleum and hence gen­er­ate the next fas­ci­nat­ing URL.

This is the email that was sent out:

If you’ve fin­ished my quiz, then it’s time for the next step in the inter­view process, some­thing to test your apti­tude. Spaces count:

* Eighth
* Sixth
* Eighth
* Ninth
* Ninth
* Sec­ond
* Fourth
* Sec­ond
* Third

The text on the note reads:

” You surely know how to put a smile on a guys face ! Now your task is simple.

Your job is to find a way into the evi­dence vault.

Our fine friends in blue have col­lected some­thing that surely dosn’t belong to them.”

UPDATE:From the blood­ied let­ters you can get the ana­gram, “TIME FOR TAFFY” — refer­ring to The Gotham Times, Johnny “Taffy­face” Linata died at 7:38am. There is a clock with­out any view­able hands to the left of the safe.

UPDATE: There seems to be a new secu­rity related Gotham web­site, http://​acmese​cu​ri​tysys​tems​.com/

“ACME Busi­ness Secu­rity pro­vides reli­able secu­rity sys­tems for busi­nesses through­out Gotham City. We pro­vide a range of ser­vices, from pas­sive alarm to con­stant video surveillance.

We spe­cial­ize in ware­house and com­mer­cial real estate secu­rity with flex­i­ble plans—allowing you secu­rity when you need it, for as long as you need it.”

There is also yet another Gotham City based web­site, this time its Gotham Cabs at http://​www​.gotham​cab​.com/

If you look at the blood spat­ters on the note for the vault it unscram­bles to Time for Taffy. Don’t know if it means anything.


Ed Nonya November 27th, 2007

What is the combo to the safe?


Susanna November 27th, 2007

So, how do you open the safe?


Doc P November 30th, 2007

I think the lock has some­thing to do with the num­bers in the Mob­ster arti­cle in the Gotham Times. I dunno if the AM/PM mat­ters for the times, but here’s the list of the num­bers as they appear (dig­its only, I dunno if the spelled out num­bers mat­ter as well):

7:38 AM, $8.99, 10, 38, 23, 75, 2:36 PM, 7:38 PM, 28, 25, 11, 8, 8:25 PM, 8:52 PM, 29, 52, 5, 12:57 AM

The dial seems a bit dif­fi­cult to use, you should have steady hands when try­ing codes.


chris­tine December 1st, 2007

change your com­puter clock to 7:38am and see what happens


Katy December 2nd, 2007

I can’t get the vault open!! I’ve tried every­thing! Can any­one help?


Chris December 2nd, 2007

Nope, no idea here either. I’ve tried the num­bers “10, 38, 23, 75, 28, 25, 11, 8, 29, 52, 5″ from clock­wise to counter-clockwise (and yes, I have steady hands) but no deal. Bah, I’m not going to give up. I just wish the dial wasn’t so hard to read. Maybe we’re miss­ing some­thing obvi­ous here or some­thing. ~_~


Chris December 2nd, 2007

Hmm, I actu­ally less­ened the num­bers to just the ages of the cit­i­zens deaths (38, 23, 75, 38, 35, 11, 8, 29, 52), but it’s still a no-go. >_>


Bradley December 6th, 2007

Look at the name on the Gotham Evi­dence Bag…the vic­tim is listed at Susan Swaltham­mer. Her name appeared on the 4th page of The Gotham Times…she was the one suing Bat­man for let­ting her car get destroyed! The arti­cle says she works for Gotham’s Power Dept but I can’t fig­ure out if that is another viral site and if so where…help me out with this one…


Matt December 7th, 2007

IF YOU SET YOUR FREAKIN COMPUTER CLOCK TO 7:38 AM THE STUPID VAULT WILL OPEN. DUDE WAS TRYING TO TELL YOU.


Chris March 24th, 2008

Has any­body tried leav­ing mes­sages for the secu­rity com­pany or gotham cab both phone num­bers work ut go to voice­mail after a short message.


Ryan April 13th, 2008

Any­one find a phone num­ber for the school?


Mike April 24th, 2008

Oh, for God’s sake.
Why so seri­ous?
