Sorry about the weird upload time, TH-cam kept demonetizing the video (and they demonetized it again) and I kind of like uploading on Friday. Like I mentioned earlier, I'm taking my time to make better, longer videos, mostly in the documentary-style format like this one. This video ended up being a bit longer than I thought to be honest, but let me know if you enjoyed this format.
I watched both and they were great
Thank you for making the video man
amazing episode
There's a scrapped B-Plot involving Wendy bonding with Grunkle Stan who helps her master her talent for theft. My idea for a follow-up to Gravity Falls has Wendy replace Dipper & Mabel as the main protagonist. After Weirdmageddon, the entire world around Wendy could shift & change dramatically, resulting in weird phenomenon happening outside of Gravity Falls. Similar plot to Jackie Chan Adventures, Wendy learning martial arts, making her way though laser security systems, using her quick fingers to help people & overall, facing dangers that will demand all of her daring & skill to overcome. In addition, Wendy can occasionally crash at the Mystery Shack, potentially giving us more of Soos (The New Mr. Mystery) & a high possibility of cameos from Dipper, Mabel, Grunkle Stan, & Ford. Also side-stories from characters like Tambry, Pacifica, & Li'l Gideon, Villains new & old, & maybe Bill Cipher returning from the dead & going on a bloodthirsty campaign of revenge.

No rush, but what will your next video be about?
Imagine taking a hike, seeing a statue of a triangle with an eye, then wondering what cult it belongs to
Apparently someone found it before all the clues were in place by chance and decided not to do anything as that would ruin the hunt
@@Aditya_Rout lol imagine he just starts shaking his hand

I just spent 43 minutes of my life learning about a hunt I was never a part of and I enjoyed every minute of it
Royal_ Guardian me too! Wow!
Same because of this voice
Same
I never knew that there was a hunt for a while. I haven't even watched Gravity Falls until like a year ago.
You know, me too! And maybe in an alternate universe where I do something cool, I may just let you in on a little treasure hunt. Stay tuned...
Imagine Alex having to plant the clues, "Where you goin?" "Oh I'm going to Russia to put a piece of paper on the ground"
@@somenameidk5278 “trust no one” so he probably did it himself 😂
@@nomisu727 lmao genius
Yeah I think if fans found out about the things in Japan cause Alex posted a picture of himself in Japan, then it’s likely that he also was in russia, possible for vacations and then just thought it would be a good spot to put a clue
"And after that?" "Oh, then I'm going to Japan to do pretty much the same thing!"
I find it hilarious how the police basically arrested Bill Cipher
Yeah man.
They got too close to the truth 😅😅
not even dream demons or chaos gods are above the law
i should know
btw dont take deer lord horns theyll call the police on you trust me
Must’ve been a big PITA having that stuff there for someone to finally complain about it.
Probably too many dingbat fans doing stupid @ss stuff. lol
💀
Disney wouldn’t let Hirsch say “kill the kids” so he changed it to “Ive got some children I need to make into corpses” and Disney let him get away with it
and the line is ten times better for it.
Classic Hirsch.
Let's Not Forget The Scene Where Bill Shuffles Preston's Face
Limitations breed creativity
Dreamy oh🤔
in the last audio file, stan almost said “you found my statue” but corrected himself. i think Bill is still in his head.
I think so too.
He voices both of them, he may have gotten his lines mixed up
@oskarek szydlowski yeah, alex hirsch actually voices multiple characters such as soos, stan and bill
@@Tobias_iscool I don't think he messed it up 👀
@@Tobias_iscool he could've just re-done the audio if that was a mistake... no, this is intentional by Hirsch
I remember, my family loved the show so much that we took a trip to Oregon just to look for the statue. We searched in the woods of public properties for days. Turns out we barely missed it, it was like 10 minutes away from a cemetery we explored.
😳
That’s so cool
I love this show so fricking much ps this is my sitsters tablet
As someone who didn't get to experience this show until a few weeks ago, I just gotta say MAN I MISSED OUT and now I'm sad. I could FEEL the energy coming from the people who found Bill. I could FEEL the fandom's rejoicing because OH MY FREAKING ALFISKVKENVGS THEY FOUND THE STATUE! I feel nostalgia for something I was never a part of and it is the weirdest feeling ever.
The same thing happened to me too.
I only recently finished watching the show and it makes me really sad that I missed out on this.
Same here, I finally got around to see the show a few weeks ago and now found out about this and I feel left out (I got use to being left out)
secondhand nostalgia
exact same feeling man, but I was watching it with someone who was there when all the chaos happened
@@TrashMammal2002 fucking loser💀
I love that even the incorrect coordinates led to the Bermuda Triangle... a place filled with Mystery and in the shape of Bill Cipher
Coincidence
I THINK NOT
@@lluma8153 Agreed. Maybe the reason the Bermuda Triangle is that shape, is because it is controlled by Bill... It's actually the Billmuda Triangle!

Those years were awesome. I'm gonna go rewatch the show
"If you've ever taken a road trip through the Pacific Northwest, you've probably seen a bumper sticker for a place called Gravity Falls. It's not on any maps and most people never heard of it. Some people think it's a myth. But if you're curious, don't wait. Take a trip. It's out there somewhere in the woods."
-Dipper Pines
Man that just makes me so nostalgic for some reason, I just want to go out there and find things.
We gotta acknowledge the guy that figured out the reedsport clue all by himself, absolute genius
“And so he discovered florida”
i’m sorry for his loss
Dead County Reportet
give me a break man. at least you don't have to wake up everyday knowing that you are a floridan :'). lol
@@NotoriousVi same
@@kentuckyfriedballs5854 Florida gang :')
@@NotoriousVi more like Florida cult
this was such a fun era of gravity falls. i remember everyone going insane about all the theories before that last season
this fandom taught me so many ciphers LMAO
now its back with the website
I'm SO glad this was able to be done before the pandemic. I forgot how INSANE this whole hunt was. I had forgotten so many things, and rewatching this brought SO many memories back, my god. Thank you for putting all this together
Jeeze did they rebuild that memory wipe? hopefully they didn't use it on you to much! 👁️
"Instead he discovered Florida."
unlucky
Man looks for Youth, he found Florida.
So... he was the first Florida man?
That is a fate worse than death
*Florida man has entered the chat*
@@lakamokolaka hey....
Based on Grunkle Stan’s final message, it almost sounds like it’s actually Grunkle Stan possessed by Bill Cipher. The song he sings is the same one Bill sings in the show, but previously Grunkle Stan says NOT to shake Bill’s hand, but NOW he is saying to go ahead and shake his hand. He also says “Congratulations on finding my, uh... the mysterious treasure, of the... statue in the forest!” As if he almost accidentally said “Congratulations on finding my statue in the forest.” Hmmm...
MatPat made a theory on that
you right
Fable Charm That would be a pretty sinister end for the hunt and Gravity Falls.
I'm still waiting for this to go further. I'll wait forever if I have to lol.
He also said to shake his hand when he said the opposite
Disney wanted more seasons but Alex didn’t want any… he has the whole series planned out and wanted it to end where he had it
And that's the level of clout Hirsch had gained from this series. He literally had the power to look his employers in the eye and say 'no more'.
@@femoman and I feel like that also allowed many opportunities for some employees to actually get their own shows, pretty sure a Netflix show called inside job is made by someone who worked on gravity falls and I think Alex’s wife got her own show aswell
@@TheGalekGames Alex Hirsch is not married but he used to date Dana Terrace, who is the creator of the Owl House
Good. Shows pushed past there creator's vision always take a HUGE quality dip. A real fan wants a series to end when it ends, not drag itself into the dirt trying to continue past it's expiration date (looking at you Dragon Ball... lmao)
@@thegatorhator6822 I'm pretty sure Spongebob is a worse example of that.
Alex Hirsch: I’ll never show the pilot, it’s like showing embarrassing high school pictures
Also Alex Hirsch:
Melee Ultimate he did do it as a gift😇
Now release the flash animation, we want it
fans only had to go around the entire world to make him cave in 😀
Imagine having created such a big fandom that you can actually do this. I'd literally cry every single day and feel like a proud dad

Yooo, I’m the 700th like. Aye😎
In one way yes, totally.
In other people over internet like this kind of things, so I think even if it were a series watched only by a few, the cryptic, later or sooner, would have been discovered and solved.
But it's just my opinion seeing internet's reaction to other games of the same kind as cicada3301.
Omg this is a big hunt with a lot of mysteries
wish i’d been in the fandom during this but i’m poor so it would’ve have matter 🤪
ok but imagine being that first girl who found the statue....missed her treasure and was dethroned😭💀
If I’m right the people who found the treasure have her the mayor of gravity falls thing
I’m honestly surprised everyone who found the clues actually posted them online instead of just doing them theirselves
I thought the same thing but I think people realized this dang this was world wide, they had to work together!
Unless you are both smart enough to figure out all the clues as well as being in a position to just run around the world, the clout from being the first to share the next clue would probably suffice most people.
@@stumbling_ oh yeah good point
He could've just ended Gravity Falls there but decided it needed a true and amazing ending. I got so happy at the end when he was talking about it how he wanted it to have a proper ending
I got super happy too.. What a great man.
Just finished the video and I honestly got emotional seeing him talk about why he did this. I think its beautiful that Hirsch created a series that meant a lot to so many people and the only he could feel ok saying goodbye was if all the fans got to participate too
The fact that he was probably sitting in his office recording him talking to himself with three different voices for some reason makes me giggle
You mean with the ghost? The one where soos got a chicken nugget?
He had a big white board at Disney for months covered with plans to 'kill God'.
That is amazing
Alex voices four major characters on the show - and a bunch of side characters - so I'm sure he's used to talking to himself by now.
The fact that you said the fact that shows the fact that you didn’t really need to say the fact that
Stan: "Shake his hand, that's kinda like a prize!"
Me: SUS
Russia and Ukraine at war too right now.
@@paigehodgins4044 don’t need to announce that bro
8 years later and it’s time for Round Two, let’s go
ok hearing grunkle stan sing "we'll meet again" and saying to shake bill's hand, with my memory of that one theory that bill is still alive in stan's head, sent me reeling.
Right??? I was listening to him speak and he sounded really suspicious. Like if he's trying to convince us "hey I'm grunkle stan not bill lol"
100% agree ! And "share the wealth" ? Really ? Grunkle Stan ? GOLD plastic coins ? Gold is Bill's color, I bet he'd get a little bit of himself in every one of those. Gosh I love this show so much.
@@missconcombremasque Didn't Bill sing "We'll met again" in the last episode? I think that Bill is still on Grunkle Stans head, there are far to many coincidences to not be something, the song, the handshake (that for Bill usually set deals, maybe it is some sort of trigger for a speel or something?), the gold, the UV messages and the spell Bill used on the last episode (RETURNBACKWARDSTONETOTHEPASTAGAINTHREE) perhaps we will see Bill again, don't know whenre, don't know where, but I know we'll met again some sunny day.
OH MY GOSH I FOUND THE CHAIN I WAS LOOKING FOR
Yeah, I was going to say something about that "sharing the wealth" part as well, that's really sus Bill you need to work on your Stan impression
@@justapotato9919 yeah i love this theory, but what i love most about it is that we're pretty likely not going to see any more seasons (maybe a tiny bit of external content but alex said he was done with the show iirc), which means we're just left to speculate on what might happen next
I like how Soos considers a chicken nugget a raise.
What's not to love?
@@thatswhatshesaid2777 harrys flashmune comet cash?

i would too
man, I live with the regret everyday that I was too young to see the thing in person.
Same! I was like 9 back then and i only just this year started watching gravity falls.
Hi i know this is 3 years later but something like this is happening right now!
@@emmaslager4327 excuse me where
Book Of Bill!
Believe it or not, we’re getting a book that’s been “written by Bill Cipher himself”. After all these years, we’re getting another book revolving around gravity falls or it’s characters!!! 😱😀👍
Just came out
Hello. I still remember the day we found the statue. I was the second person to reach the location, with Momo's help once she had found him first. You can see me digging up the treasure chest in my yellow shirt in the video, and I currently have the Journal that was buried in the forest. I did find one more thing inscribed in that book that I think the world should know. On the page where the 'This book belongs to' is torn out, Hirsch had written "The winner!" in invisible ink.
I have since lost contact with Momo and anyone else who helped us create Codemageddon and other endeavors in the years that followed, and there's a part of me that wonders if I should have this book or if Momo should since she found it first. I still occasionally go back to Confusion Hill and leave more 3D printed goodies, so be sure to say hello to Bill once in a while. Maybe you'll get a Badge of the Ciphered Eye the next time you visit.
Update: I have gotten in touch with Momo, and she's apparently OK with me keeping the journal now, so things are cleared up more or less!
If that's real, im your fan bro my complete respects ;)
Pd: srry if there's some bad grammar im mexican
wow cool story man
and i wish i knew about this when it happened :(
Nice
So like did u shake the hand
I wish I could've been there man, also that book is so exclusive, (everyone who watched gravity falls probably wants it) you helped with the hunt soo, share the wealth!
2,000 years from now, historians and scientists are going to find all this and think it was some kind of deity.
as they should!!! bill was, in his own special way, a significant part of many people’s upbringing. no, we didn’t worship him, but we definitely took him serious enough to go searching for his final resting spot!!
is he not?
lol
Well the character represented one in universe-- and did you not just witness his massive influence on our own...?
And I will be happy.
Such a heartwarming way to say goodbye to an amazing show
the fact that the bill cipher statue now rests in confusion hill which was the inspirtaion of the mystery shack is such a full circle and fitting conclusion
I shivered when CSSSA was mentioned, I attended the music program at that program in 2017. I don't remember the name of the place, but it was a corridor where all the art students would paint the walls. I specifically remember seeing that message on the top of the wall. I never realized it was a part of a massive treasure hunt, though until now.
that's creepy and also big oof
i wonder who put it there if only students and teachers are allowed in, unless alex hirsch got special permission
@@whatlayscawing5617 he probably did
@Yeetus Defeetus oh ok thanks i didn't know, i had just been wondering if he had recruited some random college student to paint some gibberish on a wall lol
@@whatlayscawing5617 yeah i also thought so when I heard it
Lucky 🍀
Imagine if a clue was removed without an announcement, and Alex assumed people just hadn’t found it. That’d be sad.
he was very involved and probably would have given a replacement clue regardless
Shake hand bossfight or nothing
@@kaweenis that would mean he had someone keeping tabs on every clue in each country in every state. I can believe it but its still unlikely.

@@bayoen9819 wood nut bi write10 en woo dee kunkreep oyzz?
This is the most creative way for Alex Hirsch to make up for Gravity Falls’ ending, he understands that people adore this show and does something knowing that people don’t want the show to end.
I like how that girl found the statue of bill first and a random guy just stole her treasure chest lol
The poor fans that thought another season was coming when Alex said “are you guys ready” , love this show btw.
I mean it still a possibility.
@@NoName-st2jl no it’s not
@@israel6819 No it's not. But there may be some hints in Alex's next project. A different form, a different time. Remember that.
I imagine a spiritual successor could be possible.
This is just as good if not better tbh. When the show's producer/main writer basically acknowledges his fans and did this for us. He didn't need to but he did anyway. He spent weeks; probably months planning this is and that's pretty cool.
In a way a final closure or constellation prize which is much more than most other shows do for their fans. Also in a way to show/connect fans from around the world either in person or online.
Also for a new season probably not but a similar show or spiritual successor is still possible.
With streaming companies and netflix snatching up people and pay rolling ideas like hungry hungry hippos, it should be a little easy to make a new show especially with brand recognition on his side.

@@Target_edge he already said social studies
This made me weirdly emotional. Gravity Falls is easily my favorite television show of all time, and seeing these fans come together to solve one final mystery just filled me with a wholesome warmth.
There will never be a show quite like Gravity Falls again, and there will never be a creative madman like Alex Hirsch again either. What a note to end on.
I dont realy watch the show but i had some tears in my eyes after the video, i really like how it all turned out, a cute and wholesome adventure where people all over the Globe work together to get what they where looking for....a stone triangle. Thats realy cool. Guess i am watching this show now. Keep safe dudes and dudets.✌
@@zitronenfarmer5607 I remember the first time I watched it I loved it so much that I always played the theme song in my head the last episode broke my heart 😢 I just couldn’t stop wishing for a season 3 or something but after watching this knowing that it won’t ever happen makes me more sad 💔 gravity falls we’ll always be my favourite childhood show
I completely agree. Gravity falls is easily my favorite tv show. Alex Hirsch put so much thought and creativity into the little details of the show, and in the hunt! I felt like Gravity falls is the one thing in my life that I cling to for so many reasons, I can’t even explain them all. It just makes me sad that Gravity Falls won’t be having a season 3. The Cypher Hunt was the best way Alex Hirsch could’ve ended Gravity Falls.
Yeah…there’s amphibia. If you ever miss gravity falls you can watch that show. Even has a lot of cameos of gravity falls in it too
@@furankisama2926 its good but not as good
Easily one of my favorite shows, it's insane that he cares so much and the fans to go on this journey together. I can't wait to see what he does next as his latest movie Mitchell vs the Machines was what started my following of Alex even if it was Mike as the director
Alex not only created a big fandom, but even after the show ended, when alex hirsch annouceed this hunt
a lot , i mean A LOT of people from AROUND THE world, took part in this. this is something only few of the shows
can achieve in this world.
*This man is legendary to Disney and we'll never have another one like him*
Ffs it's not like he is dead.
@@PinkBunnyCorporation *You need to calm down and it's a comment so no need to get upset at.*
he is definitely one of a kind but i'm sure there will be more like him or even better!
@Shannon Vassallo *bonetrousle intensifies*
Yeah there will be a season 3 I’m just not sure when it will come out
What I like about this was that one of the rules was to not shake Bill Cipher's hand. In lore of the show, he made deals as a sleep deity, shaking the hands of his partners and soon-to-be victims. In the finally message from Grunkle Stan, he invited the winner to shake the statue's hand as if it would be a big reward in itself.
Now... Fans of the show may recall where Bill Cipher was last seen in the show, right...?
Michael M yeah buddy, this is...pretty obvious information.
You don’t really have to point out this fact I think almost everyone knows it
Bengu Man that’s what i said lol
Bengu Man that’s what i said lol
@@dannysankyu we got it, you know it all! Lol some of us stumbled on this video, I never watched the show, so this was a nice added piece of information. So ...I guess it wasn't obvious..
Anywho, thanks OP for some added details.
I remember being in middle school, downloading twitter; and watching everything unfold. I knew nothing about ciphers but with every clue that came out I tried to look thru my journal 3 and see if I could find anything. I watched tons of livestreams of people looking for clues. I made friends on twitter of. it made a boring summer of mine into a memory I can never forget. thank you alex hirsch
Easily the best video covering the Cipher Hunt out there, and it's not even close. Can't believe it's been so long ago...
I wish I had a friend named Jorge so I could blame everything on him
OMG🤣
Lets make this comment famous!
Lol
A fellow Scott the woz fan nice!
Hey, all woz here!
God, this is the perfect end to the series. Like the whole show was about hunting and this was that but irl.
I just finished watching the whole series for the first time and dang, the ending hit really hard for me and learning about this hunt that happened after the show ended is only increasing my love for this series.
Ill never forget the stream where they found the key and then following CLOSELY as the key traveled to LA. one of the coolest things anyones ever done
Anyone actually take the time to stop and realise on how much work, thought and effort actually went into planning and preparing this hunt
and solving
And money. That had to cost Disney a pretty penny to fly around and set up all of this.
@@Falcovsleon21 what does Disney have to do with this unofficial hunt
@@EpsilonLovesSharks Pretty sure Disney retains the rights to the GF franchise despite it being Alex’s creation. So if Alex wants to make a big treasure hunt he’s still gotta check with Disney if it’s okay. Unofficial or not.
And do you really expect me to believe Alex has enough money to fly all over the world and hide this stuff? Flights to Russia alone aren’t cheap.
@@Falcovsleon21 he obviously went to russia and japan for a vaccation. Vaccations are expensive but thats why you save up for them. He took his girlfriend and while there hid a clue. Not that deep 😅
Disney owning the rights only means that others cant profit from it by selling merch, creating episodes, etc. or copy characters, idea, and so on.
Him making a treasure hunt that just engages fans with zero profit is not anything he has to discuss with Disney.
Imagine a kid with no knowledge of Gravity Falls goes into the woods and finds the Bill Cipher statue
What a lucky kid they'd be..
@@SkylerDemness Yeah
I think it would be even better if they tweeted a photo or something and people responded stuff like, "OMG YOU FOUND IT! CONGRADULATIONS" and the kid was just like, "What kinda weirdo cult are you?"
Just IMAGINE how confused the kid would be
I dont think they'll care all to much but imagine a kid who does know about Gravity Falls but doesnt know about the Cypher hunt stumbles across the statue, I beat they'll flip.
I’m making a small arg game for my friends and the book of bill just came out, going back to the cipher hunt and taking inspiration from it feels so right, thank you Alex Hersh for all you’ve done, stay weird (^^)

I'm old and I watched this show with my kids and we absolutely loved it. Great idea to reward fans with one last mystery
". . . instead he discovered Florida."
Yeah, I'd be pretty downtrodden too if I had discovered Florida instead of the fountain of youth. Florida, what a bummer.
I am offensive and this is Floridian

LMFAOOOO
The last clip really explains how this was the final bang for the tv show. A funeral really, and I think we all grieve at the death of the show, but we’re glad that it happened and still continue on to praise it.
And as Stanford Pines once said:
“Stay curious, stay weird, stay kind and don't let anyone ever tell you, you aren't smart or brave or worthy enough.”
I wish they could’ve left bill in the forest. 3000 years later we have some old guy guarding bill and keeping people away from shaking his hand and he would tell people the story of weirdamageden making bill a real myth. I would love that
Oh my god imagine searching for a fountain that could cure your aging but all you find is Florida
“Instead he discovered Florida”
So the first Florida man was born

This just goes to show how much Gravity Falls meant to Alex Hirsch. Gravity Falls was a key part of my childhood and I’m so grateful that Hirsch shared his brilliant idea for a TV show so that millions of people could enjoy it.
This was fun to live through back in the day and seeing it retold like this made me feel like I was living it again :^) great video
if Jorge makes a video longer than 20 minutes you know it’s going to be good
Literally *ANY* of his videos are always good. That's what makes his content top tier.
Yep
I agree
True
yessir
I'm still so mad nearly 4 years later....I visited the enchanted forest theme park in Oregon two days before the clue leading there came out.......I could have been there!
Lol, that sucks! Is the Enchanted forest still open?? I used to go there as a kid...
@@cypher237 as far as I know, yes!
@@prosti-noot that's awesome! 👌😁
Omg I remember following and keeping updated with the whole hunt back then. I remember watching all of those live streams too! I wish I would have been able to participate but it was a little too far from where I was haha. It was a super fun time still!
I really appreciate the focus on puzzles me solutions over the whole creepypasta type aesthetic which some videos covering similar topics heavily lean into, even down to the background music. Great vid
After watching this, I wish I was involved with the hunt. Sadly, I wasn’t aware about the hunt. I never knew a show like this could LITERALLY take you on a journey.
it does leave things strangely open ended...
*spoilers*
bill was erased from stan's mind but stan's memory came back rather quickly, and the primary show character who speaks is stan, which, if we're to believe this is happening after the show, wouldn't be with soos as he's off treasure hunting in the arctic.
Hirsch states imediately not to shake his hand but Stan says to do it, and also says a bunch of things as if he were reeeeaaally trying to convince the listener that he was in fact actually grunkle stan.
perhaps this is, within canon, an elaborate ploy by bill to escape whatever fate befell him after getting memory wiped, that all he needed was someone to shake his hand that he might escape and be able to plot anew.... curious little details....
Yea, there is no way that this show is over, too many details still need to be solved.
Watch a certain We Bear Bears short about an "internet troll".
I have always thought that Grunkle Stan has been controlled by Bill in the end- I just cannot believe that a creature such as Bill Cipher could be wiped off this world... Gosh, I wish the show continued.
also,there was this extra comic or whatever where Dipper and Mabel meet an Axolotl in Space.When they asked the Axolotl about Bill Cipher,the Axolotl only says this.
Sixty degrees that come in threes.
Watches from within birch trees.
Saw his own dimension burn.
Misses home and can't return.
Says he's happy. He's a liar.
Blame the arson for the fire.
If he wants to shirk the blame,
He'll have to invoke my name.
One way to absolve his crime.
A different form, a different time.
So,will Bill be back? yea,definitely? in Gravity Falls? no?
However,what about another Favorite T.V Series of ours?
What Tv series?
Rick and Morty.
I reccomend you watch MatPat's vid about this.Also,did you guys know Alex and the creator of Rick and Morty are friends?
@@jinx9956 We Bare Bears
At 38:50 gruncle stan sings well meet again , and on the last episode or the second to last episode of gravity falls bill cypher sings well meet again.
This is such a historic moment of the world, thanks for documenting it for us all to watch!
This is the most insane thing I've heard from a kids cartoon.
Edit: I don't think its a kids show, but Disney is very strict on some things but wow they improved.
Is it for kids tho?
*I have some children I need to make into corpses*
I wouldn’t say this video is supper accurate, but the show is mainly aimed at older children like 10+. The hunt was a good time for the fans and I’m sad I missed it lol. It was fun the watch tho
@@itsariot9122 *Same-*
itsAriot yeah everything in disney channel are mostly for teens that can think better, And disney junior is for kids/toddlers.
It was fun while it lasted and I had fun with it.
It does like more than a coincidence that the alternate reading of the coordinates leads to the Bermuda *_Triangle,_* a place where mysterious things are said to have happened
ikr, also its a TRIANGLE, like bill. idk that was probably deliberately out there to throw people off
Imagine if they actually got stumped there and went to the Bermuda triangke
@@kingasasin177 They find a buoy in the middle of the ocean with a note attached to it saying "Wow, I didn't actually think you'd come here. Uh.... I'll just tell you where the statue is right now."
It was probably an easter egg on a ''singular easter egg hunt''
@@gamermadness8501 What?
I grew up going to the enchanted forest my entire life. This was so cool to see something incorporating my home state of Oregon ❤️🤘
This was absolutely beautiful! Kinda sad that I've never even heard of the show as I was born and raised in India but still this was fantastic and was almost feeling very emotional at the end even if I never watched it. Felt like this hunt is the "true" final episode of Gravity Falls.
*Imagine if someone actraully went to the Bermuda Triangle-*
I did...
Mr beast did
...........people have..............
Some says it's where the palace of Lucifer located.
@@JediKnight207 lol thats stupid
You know, odds are there was a fan who lived in Reedsport. Imagine if s/he went out hiking and just found the statue a few days after announcing the hunt, that would have been absolutely hilarious.
I feel like people would still go through the whole hunt despite that
Every other fan HOW HOW
Alex Hirsch is an amazingly creative person and there will truly never be a show like Gravity Falls ❤❤
Omg, it's been about 4 years since I found out about this show, and everything about this made me so emotional, literally the best thing ever, I already knew about the whole hunt but I wanted to rediscover it through this video, thank you
The people who helped find the Clue's but couldn't get to other places should get a deputy sash or something. It was a team effort and they should be rewarded.
Yeah, kind of lame the people that just followed along got to keep everything but at least everyone had fun.
I think it would have been cool if Alex found the usernames of the codebreakers and sent them a few prizes for the effort.
You always have to live in California for these stupid things
I actually 3D printed "I found Bill" badges/pins for everyone I met in the forest that August evening. I also printed and mailed "Clue Finder" badges for everyone who solved a clue as well. If you ever see one of them, you can rest assured that they were awarded!
epicsuperduper gamer111111 idk man rewarding hard effort kinda be cringe though
Alex straight up ROASTED this church for removing the clue LMAO
Cyancat123 fr, constantly throughout the hunt 😂
Fr though i absolutely love how he took the clue being removed and turned into something so funny and creative and part of the race, it's so great
what did he say
@@shronkler1994 if you don't have time to watch the video then no one has time to explain it to you. Our times not less valuable then yours. Figure it out yourself.
You can't blame the church for removing a clue that leads to a statue that resembles the eye of providence or the illuminati eye
*_[Plane tickets sales probably were high during this event]_*
Wonder how many people went to Oregon because of the show?
@@somethingwithbungalows *_[I wonder too]_*
@@wubble5241 why are you *[typing]* like this

I like how the way to uncover the secret messages, you have to use a cipher. That’s not a bad pun for a Bill Cipher hunt.
"Instead he discovered Florida."
or
"instead he found a land where people eat crocodiles instead of crocodiles eating people "
Not sure on whats more impressive. The thought put into this or the ppl solving skills
For real though!
Anons abound. 😎
Imagine just a bonus audio clip from Bill Cipher saying:
"Oh hey, bet you thought I died, huh? DEMONS NEVER DIE! Anyways, I'm in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle right now, and it's pretty sweet! Oh, what's that? Malaysian Airlines 103? Classic! Hope you had fun with that little hunt I set up! You might just be worth saving!"
Man I wish that existed
Thats sounds pretty accurate for the character actually
This deserves more recognition
man i love my country being on a video fest my fav dhow
I love how I read this and somehow was able to think of how he would actually say it
Damn I think he’s in my mind- 😰
You KNOW whatever you just watched /ocurred was *FANTASTIC* if it ends with the song "We´ll meet again"
Alex: “don’t shake bills hand”
Everyone: that sign won’t stop me because I can’t read
I just spent 42 minutes and 26 seconds watching a guide to a hunt I now wanna go on but never will go on-
IT SOUNDS SO FUN LIKE WHAT THE HECK
I KNOW RIGHT, I can feel you.
Who knows maybe I'll make one..
@@smg4reblooperd182 BRO DO IT
@@raven3194 ok
It was.
You already know the first person to find the statue is mad she didn’t get that treasure box
very sweet of the people who found it to still give her the mayor of gravity falls sash though
From what I've read, the first person to find it helped lead the group who found the treasure box to the statue, meaning she was also technically part of the group who found the box. She also got the title 'Mayor of Gravity Falls' so she also won in the end.
AND A DUDE COMES IN AND RUIN BILL'S HAT BY REMOVING THE STATUE
WHAT A PARTY POOPER
@Gonçalo Amaro she was the Sacajawea of this cartoon’s fanbase, to be sure
I miss Gravity Falls...
...but aim is getting better!
thanks for putting the preston face shuffling back in my head again 🥲
I kept having goosebumps throughout this whole adventure I've always loved this show and now knowing that there's literally a whole treasure hunt that happened makes me love it even more.
Me: Followed live updates of the Cipher Hunt, knows almost everything about Gravity Falls, and has seen coverage of the Cipher Hunt before.
Also me: Excited to watch another documentary on the Cipher Hunt.
Talia/tetriQuinn Same!
Talia/tetriQuinn yeah😇
you know it
Yes
Imagine this not being solved, the pilot would still be lost media..
This actually made me want to check out the gravity falls series thanks jorge you might’ve made a potential fan out of me
Man I’ve lived in Oregon my whole life and the fact that a big treasure hunt and mystery lead to my home state makes me feel like Oregon is a bit more well known now that people come and visit the statue. And even when the show first came out, I was like: “Finally Oregon can get some recognition” so I think it was cool that something that big and world wide was leading to Oregon
