For those of you who watched Bandersnatch and weren’t able to get the ‘secret ending,’ here’s what path I took on my first viewing to get to it.
So there are multiple endings, and one confirmed ‘secret’ ending that I managed to get on my first viewing. Fortunately, my partner and I were being huge dorks and tracing our path, so we have it written out. I’ll put it, and what the ‘secret ending’ are below a read more for spoiler purposes.
Okay, so the secret ending is pretty basic. But when you’re on the bus to the office the first day, instead of picking music, Stefan puts the Bandersnatch tape into his cassette player, and an audio recording comes out. Apparently it has some code you can put into an emulator that makes a QR code that leads to a website. It’s neat. Anyway, here is the exact path I took to get to that ending. I watched this in Canada, and I don’t know if the secret ending requirements vary by region, because I’ve seen totally different paths also unlock this. So it might be that there’s only a few things in this list required to hit the ending, or it might be a specific order for certain things. I’m sure there are lots of other viable solutions, but here’s what we did:
Pick “The Bermuda Triangle” Album
Pick Stefan, jump out the window to your death
Rewind to the ‘jump’ choice, not back to the choice to go to the medical office or follow Colin
Pick up your family photo
Throw tea over the computer
Kick him in the balls - this is the end of this path.
You should be sent back to ‘who’s there,’ option. Pick the white bear symbol
throw tea over the computer - this should ‘end’ the game again and throw you back to just after ‘kill dad’
Let him Go - this should end the game, play the credits and put you back to the ‘pick up book/pick up family photo’ but only gives you the option to pick up the book this time. Do not actually select this option, just let the timer run out (I don’t know if this actually does anything different, but it’s what I did)
Enter “PAC” as the password.
Pick “P.A.C.S.” When asked who you are
Enter 20541 - This should throw you back to the ‘pick up book/select family photo’ stage but with only one option. This time do select the option. Again, no idea if this matters, just giving you the exact steps we took
Enter TOY as the password
After saying “YES” we got an ending, and then the ‘secret’ ending after the credits. This path also got us some version of all five ‘main’ endings I’m aware of in about an hour and twenty minutes.
