I got this email too I just noticed , must pay more attention to my emails

I guess anyone who has emailed them is now on their mailing list.

This is what i get: The door is open.
From now on, most messages in the email will use this translation method, as it is the “school code”.

[DevilinPixy]

Carry on, just moved some of those received emails with solves over here

[AlexWinter]

[pr1sm]

Updated with the email that was received last night before the password was solved!

[YourBasicMaths]

Perfect! Thanks for the add.

A quick note:

Various players have decoded and translated the message:

@pr1sm

Leonardo da Vinci was right.

We need the password. System won’t let me enter the TOWER but you can access it.
I know you will be able to read this message. This is not a game.

For Your Eyes Only

What’s not been made clear is that “This is not a game” is not a random phrase. It has meaning within ARG circles.

I agree that probably anyone who emailed The Architect is probably on their mailing list.

I emailed this a couple of days ago:

Je suis GoodGuysFree, un petit “YouTuber”.

Vous pouvez voir que je ne sais pas Francais tres bien.

Peut-etre, nous pouvons parler en Anglais?

GoodGuysFree

And got the email back like the rest of you.

The /inbox/ page updated today (sitemap shows 2026-06-04T15:16:05Z). New message from The Architect to Ghost, in school cipher:

Full text at: Inbox – project-skyscraper

Note: decodes through a second cipher layer — not the school cipher directly. The output is French but still substituted. Same message vector_cmdr posted in Discord (the one about observing the machine for 24 hours, two weak memories, Lyon concert).

They’re going to do it. We’re going to do it!

The last email pointed to June 8th on a Sunday. Originally, we thought only the day was incorrect, but upon further inspection, it was noticed that it is impossible in the current year for June 8th to fall on a Sunday.

After quickly searching, it was identified that, of note, two years in which June 8th was a Sunday are 1958 (the year of Expo58 in which the Atomium was unveiled) and 2025, only for its recency.

Soooo… We are receiving emails from the past?

[ozoto]

We are receiving future-past emails!

[sheralmyst]

Ok. @the_architect is an actual time traveler

Or one is in the past and the other is in the future. Ghost Null is in the past?

my head is spinning now

[Alterworld]

Somethings been bothering me for a while now. @the_architect’s location on ETARC is “erased”. I know for a fact you can leave that blank if you want to.

Is the architect’s location “erased” because it doesn’t exist anymore?

[Polyphemus]

The world is full of mysteries…
