The site had frequently broken down/gotten hacked/undergone server errors/been through a lot since it first went up. If you are unable to answer a riddle, one of the above may have occurred. 

The riddle that holds the record for longest time taken to solve, a whopping 9 (nine) hours, is number 4 (solved in Part 5). We don’t talk about number 4. number 12 is a close second place.

Congratulations to the winners of Las Nevadas merch! GG! :]

Part 14

Inputting “7185514” as the answer for the twelfth riddle leads to the following page:

[ID: Red centered text that says:

XIII

Those were the days, huh? I look a lot different now. And you, look how far you’ve come. You’ve journeyed far and wide, faced tests and trials, and you’ve come out on top. Hold your head up high – they say pride’s the only thing you get to keep until your death. But you don’t believe that, though, do you? So long and safe travels, friend. And, for your sake, may we never meet again. — Before retreating to the back of the shop, the Merchant silently hands you a scrap of paper. It’s discolored with age, its edges torn and tattered. You turn it over in your hands, careful not to damage it, and take in what’s neatly inked across its surface:]

Here is a closer look at the card from this page:

Part 13

Inputting “corrupted” as the answer to the eleventh riddle leads you to the following page:

[ID: Red centered text that says:

XII

Hey, you’ve been visiting me for a while now - can I ask you something personal? What’s the last thing that made you cry? An insult, an injury? Was it a movie? What’ll be the next thing, you think? A hard-learned lesson?

Let me tell you something I’ve learned in my time: you can’t always win. You don’t accept that and you’ll never learn.

And, you never want to, but sometimes you gotta revisit things to accept them.

But, hey, what do I know? Maybe things will be different the next time we meet.]

Here is a closer look at the card from this page:

[ID: A black playing card, a Queen, with a green # symbol in the center]

The ‘revisit things’ refers to revisiting the Hidden Youtube channel, whose only public upload is a 2 hour 30 minute long video that is blank and silent. Refer to the end of Part 9 for the spectrogram finding, which shows a HEX code: 00FF00, the color of which matches the green in the # symbol on this card.

Running the word “green” through an a1z26 cipher yielded the code 7185514, which is the answer to this riddle.

Part 12

Inputting “2040” as the answer to the tenth riddle leads you to the following page:

[ID: Red centered text that says:

XI

You’ve been at this so many damn times now. How long has it been, days? And how many days are left? Do you think you’ve almost found the answers you’ve been looking for?

And is it even worth it, finding those answers, even when they make everything seem backwards?

I hope it will be worth it for you.]

Here is a closer look at the card from this page:

[ID: A black playing card, a Joker, that says the following:

Sierra Instant

X-ray Lima Echo

Sierra Sierra Oscar

November Sierra]

Decoding the aviation alphabet code leads to the following instagram: @sixlessons, which has only one post:

This nonogram, when solved, leads to the following QR code:

The QR code, when scanned, reads: XLIIFKGVW

When parsed through an Atbash cipher decoder, XLIIFKGVW translates to: CORRUPTED, which is the answer for this riddle.

Part 11

Inputting “theinn2300” as the answer to the ninth riddle leads you to the following page:

[ID: Red centered text that says:

X

Oh, for the love- For the tenth damn time, leave those books alone, you little shit! Goddamn asshole touching my stuff all the time.]

Here is a closer look at the card from this page:

[ID: A black playing card, numbered 10, with white text that says: 

Sumthing is less

Remember the date

The first place of the journey

The last step you take]

Here’s how to solve this riddle:

“The first place of the journey“ refers to the date of the first Las Nevadas stream: March 16th, 2020 -> 16/03/2020 -> adding the numbers together, you get 2039

“The last step you take“ refers to the date of the final Las Nevadas stream: September 10, 2022 -> 10/09/2020 -> adding the numbers together, you get 2041

“Sumthing is less“ is a play on words and a hint. “Sum” means to add the numbers of the dates together. “is less” means to use the number in the middle of these two sums. So the answer to this riddle is: 2040

[lasnevadasquesting]

Part 10

Inputting “quackity” as the answer to the eighth riddle leads you to the following page:

[ID: Red centered text that says:

IX

I’ve been observing the world for a very long time now. You’re different. You breeze past any problem you encounter like it’s nothing. You’re persistent as all hell, to boot.

Most people in this world aren’t like you. In fact, you remind me of myself.

Well, who I used to be. Now I’m just old bones.

Heh. Inside joke, forget it.]

Here is a closer look at the card from this page:

[ID: A black playing card, numbered 9, with white text that says:

NIHETN

&

#️⃣ of them there

&

goopy lie]

Here’s how to solve this card:

“NIHETN”, when unscrambled, is: the inn

“#️⃣ of them there” refers to the number of people at the inn. As the dialogue from the Discord server and the fact that each of the numbers in the Innkeeper’s message are in groups of 2, the solution to this hint is 2.

“goopy lie“ refers to the lie that c!Slimesicle told c!Quackity regarding the number of bones he supposedly had. "I'm so many bones! I have like 300 bones in me like everyone else!" -  "Quackity’s Biggest Lore Stream Yet (Full)" at 35:48 (VOD). The solution to this hint is 300.

Putting this information together, the answer to the ninth riddle is: theinn2300

Part 9

Inputting “onelesssleeplessnight3333” as the answer to the seventh riddle leads you to the following page:

[ID: Red centered text that says:

VIII

You look a little less like you’re one math problem away from passing out. I assume you got some rest, then?

Me? No, I’m fine. When you get to my age, it’s the thought of other kinds of monsters that keep you up at night. Your own fears, your own demons. The things you never thought you’d do until you’ve done them. How the world can change and change you in turn… Ah, forget it. These are just the ramblings of an old man. Since you’re here, could you help me with something? I gotta take a good look at the AC unit. It’s been too loud when I’m trying to sleep.]

Here is a closer look at the card from this page:

[ID: A black playing card, numbered 8, with white text that says: flwTZkl0qhg, but every letter is mirrored in half]

You can solve this hint by drawing a line through half of the characters on both lines and joining both parts together:

This alphanumeric string leads to an unlisted 3-second long Youtube video titled, “TAKE A LOOK” (lower your volume before you play it) posted on September 6th, 2022.

This audio, when parsed through a spectrogram decoder, shows the following:

[ID: A spectrogram that looks like a circle with a smiley face, very similar to the Las Nevadas Quackity coin]

The YouTube page is owned by a “hidden”, whose account description simply says: :]

The only other upload on this page is a 2 hour 30 minute long video that is blank and silent. 

EXCEPT at 1:43:08. Parsing this audio part through a spectrogram yields the following sequence:

[ID: A spectrogram that reads as: 00FF00]

You’ll never believe what color this represents in HEX code:

This information about the HEX code may not be relevant now, but it helps with solving riddle 12, which may be why the video is also titled ‘notyet_12.mp4′.

Part 8

Inputting “15tashrabat” as the answer to the sixth riddle leads you to the following page:

[ID: Red centered text that says:

VII

I suppose if I have to be mad at anyone, it’d be myself for not locking the door. Pull up a chair. I’ll pour you a drink.

I’ve forgotten how tiring it is to travel for long periods. Most of the time I camped outside. There wouldn’t be a soul around for miles, but I was never afraid.

But you must be exhausted. There should be a place to rest somewhere around here. Not sure if it’s still open, though.]

Here is a closer look at the card from this page:

[ID: A black playing card, numbered 7, with morse code:

-.. .. ... -.-. - - - 

.-. -..

.-.-.-

--. --.

-..-.

..- W .-- E ..- - -

...- X ..... -.-. N]

When decoded, the morse code led to a Discord invite link: https://discord.com/invite/uWwE2vX5cN

[ID: The sole message in the #checking-in channel under >The Front Room category in The Inn Discord Server, from Discord user The Innkeeper, that says:

Hello and welcome! Let me get you the key to your room. 

1<😴<🌃  

2 + 2 = 4 

11 + 11 = 22 

47 + 47 = 99 

265 + 265 = 555 

1976 + 1976 = ?]

Here are the full pfp’s for:

The Innkeeper

The Inn:

The clue posted by the Innkeeper can be solved as follows:

The 1<😴<🌃 translates to ‘one less sleep less night’, and by following the incorrect pattern of additions, we get 3333 for 1976 + 1976, which gives the answer to the seventh riddle as: onelesssleeplessnight3333

[lasnevadasquesting]

the latest card seems to be a nonogram, but the 0/9 square function is unsolveable and the entire 7 row. i've tried to do it myself and put it through a solver and neither worked, it just broke. is it possible it's incorrect?

I'm not sure, anon! But I think, given that the past clues never came from the same place, we might want to consider that it might not even be a nonogram. I tried solving it as a nonogram too and didn’t get anything useful. 

I’ll keep you posted, but I haven’t been able to figure it out either.

[lasnevadasquesting]

A hint for riddle 6 from the @LasNevadasReal Twitter page!

Part 7

Inputting “slime” as the answer to the fifth riddle leads you to the following page:

[ID: Red centered text that says:

VI

Who do you think you are? “Oh, wow, look at me. Adventurer extraordinaire!” Shamelessly showing your face here every time you think you’ve figured something out. I’m a merchant, not a philosopher! And, damnit, if I were- if I had realized... maybe things would have turned out differently.

I’m gonna go out back. Just... take the card and go.]

Here is a closer look at the card from this page:

[ID: A black playing card, numbered 6, with a picture of what appears to be a desert, overlaid with a grid and a horizontal top row and a vertical column of numbers]

Using Street View on Google Maps after inputting the coordinates 40°56'34.2"N 75°16'24.9"E, lead to the following image, which matches the picture in the card when unblurred:

The sign in this picture has the answer to this riddle: 15tashrabat
