Weāre now delving into things that may or may not be common knowledge, meaning that we learned of them through either someone elseās blog or video before looking at or into these things ourselves or that they are fairly obvious and apparent on the website. We will still be spoilering all these bits of info and findings, as to not spoil the ARG for anyone who may want to start from the beginning in their own exploration of it. Please, PLEASE, do not spoil othersā fun of this creation. Everyone deserves to enjoy it as they wish, at their own pace and without worrying about spoilers every time they look on social media. And now, without furthur ado, onto our post!
Weāre going to go through the more relatively well known bits and bobs, divided up into groups, each in their own post. Weāll start with the basics, that being the simplest and most apparent things on the website. Letās begin on the home page.
One of the first notable things when visiting the home page is a wonderful and beautiful image of Wally at the top, sitting on a rock beneath a tree. On this rock, we can find an eye painted on it, as seen below.
This is the most obvious eye in the picture, but there do, in fact, seem to be others hidden in there! Such as this white one you can see in one of the flowers:
This other eye in another flower:
And this one in the top right of the tree! Though I know this could likely be just a little knot in the wood, as is particularly common in trees, I still would like to believe itās eye-like shape to be on purpose!
The next thing one may notice thatās odd is all the silly little eyes in the side bar images! Alongside these are a number of items, and thereās at least one for each of the characters! Home is represented by itself as well as likely representing Wally, flowers that I assume are for Julie, butterflies for Frank, silly balls for Barnaby, letters and a mailbox for Eddie, feathers for Poppy, a bunch of fruit for Howdy that includes a little caterpillar and the abundance of apples possibly also representing Wally, and I believe the confetti and party popper and neat little star-shaped explosion to be representing Sally! Below is an image of the sidebar showing all of these.
Hopefully you can see everything I listed as I do!
Another small thing that sticks out to me, though it very likely has no real significance and simply adds to the feel of the website, is the current gif displayed under website updates. Iām not sure if this gif has ever been anything different or will change, but I will attempt to aptly secure proof of it as it is for the sake of this post and partitally for that little part of my brain that yells for me to catalogue!
Here we can see itās skrunkly little self, with all itās strange green pixely-ness! My eyes like to deceive me into thinking thereās eyes in the background, but Iām pretty sure thatās just my brain playing tricks on me. I believe this certainly adds to the feel of the website, though as Iāve said, it very likely has no real purpose or meaning in the story other than to look nice on the front page! Still, I will catalogue it!
Next bit on this page is within the paragraphs next to the gif. Here is where we find the very first of the strange letters that are out of place! The y inĀ āyourā is slightly out of place. For those that may not know, there are several letters on the website that are out of place and putting them together in a certain way gives us some very interesting things. But! Weāll get to that in another future post, after weāve gone over all these letters and where they are, as I personally actually had some great trouble in finding a couple of them and I wonder if others, too, struggle with it?
These paragraphs also mention the ever strange and curious Question-Answerer, which we will likely discuss more of when we talk about the News page!
That is all for now, as I would like to go over and post about these things in group by their pages. Please, please let me know if I missed anything that you noticed and I didnāt! Iām so excited for every little bit I find out, and would truly appreciate more happy bits for my brain to ramble over! Thank you so much for reading, and we wish you a wonderful Welcome Home~!
As we go into a period of not personally discovering anything new, we will likely begin to post things that arenāt new findings. This may include art weāve personally made, information or parts of the ARG that are more common knowledge, and compilations of fun facts that Clown has shared about the characters. We hope that you all still enjoy these other sorts of posts just as much, even if itās not the same new content we were hoping to be sharing with you all! Thank you so much for your time, and we sincerely Welcome you Home~.
Not a finding, but rather, a creation! We are also wanting to share our love of this ARG with you all, and what better way to do so than to share what we make? This is a keychain I designed and cross-stitched for myself, and I think it came out quite well!
Below, Iām gonna list things I noticed that I havenāt seen anyone talk about before. I will list these under a spoiler. Do not read ahead if you want to figure out and find things on your own!
Fixing an issue from this post! Remember not to read if you want to find things yourself!
So, on closer inspection, it looks like the phrase is actually "May your home be."
We're only in the prologue of the ARG, so I don't want to do any speculation on this quite yet! Hopefully the next update will give us some more things to look out for!
We very briefly changed our url name, which broke some of the Keep Reading buttons, particularly on the reblogged posts. It was causing them to lead to broken pages, so weāve now changed our url back. They should be working again. Weāre sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Reminder, do not read below if you want to figure things out on your own!
While looking more at the advertisement from the slide show, we noticed something else about the D. It appears to have an X over it, like itās crossed out. But thereās also a line around the middle of it that doesnāt line up with either the shape of the D or the X. Below is a zoomed in screenshot of the letter in the image.
You can see that thereās a line that comes down a bit below the middle of the X. It almost looks like a 9, but Iām not quite sure as to what exactly itās supposed to be. So in this image we have a D, an X, and a 9. A lovely friend of mine outlined them to see easier.
Ā I donāt quite know what these are meant for, as I believe there must be a purpose, but hopefully we can figure it out soon. Until next time, Welcome Home~

Todayās update is going to be brief, as I donāt have much to share. But I do want to get out what I have found and figured out since my last post.
First things first, Iāve been trying to figure out how the numbers of theĀ āsignatureā fit into the puzzle. If you didnāt read my last post or need a refresher, I found that theĀ āsignatureā in one of the images on the website wasnāt actually a signature at all, but a set of numbers placed on top of each other. The numbers, from what I could tell, were 6, 7, 3, and 5. My initial thought was to try to see if these corresponded to any sort of url, much like the misplaced letters on the website do. However, I tried every possible combination of these 4 numbers and found nothing. So as of right now, I still do not know what these are meant for but rather, we at least know what theyāre NOT meant for.
The next thing I actually noticed before my first post, but completely forgot to include as I kept that one entirely focused on the slideshow images. This bit is hidden within the gif of Frankās head spinning on the About Us page. On the books in the bottom right are a series of messages disguised as the booksā titles. Here is a closer look at the books themselves.
From what I can tell, it reads out in order as:
HELLO
Itās You Know Who?
Iām Your Neighbor.
Do you ____ about me? You do.
I see you
I canāt tell exactly what the third word of the fourth one is. We believe itās eitherĀ āknowā orĀ āthinkā, but itās too crunchy and blurry for me to make it out as any exact word. So Iāve chosen to leave it as a blank in the transcription.
The last thing Iāll be adding to this post is another observation from the slideshow images that I completely forgot to include with the others due to how excited I was over finding the hidden words. This finding is in the very first image, and is particulaly just an observation that has me a little intrigued. You see, in this image of the slideshow we have several different merchandise items shown off. Each has a little letter placed on it in the advertisement, and the letters lead to descriptions of the items in the lower left of the image. This text is typically far too small to really make out, but by zooming in using my browser, I was able to identify what it says and the fact that thereās one certain item cut off and/or left out of this image. Whether intentionally or unintentionally done, itās piqued my interest.
In the image, thereās 4 letters attached to the various items. Iāve highlighted them below.
A is attached to the little cut-outs, B is on the record, C is on the house, and D is seemingly attached to the puppet that is holding the record as thereās nothing else there for it to be for. To note, the letter D is not included in the item descriptions in the image. Only A, B, and C are included. Iām not sure if it was left out or if it was cut-off by the bottom of the image. Below is a zoomed in screenshot of the descriptions in the bottom left.
As you can see, D is excluded in the description. I canāt help but feel like if they didnāt want us to notice it, they wouldnāt have included the letter D on the image, or would have included the description for it with the other letters. Itās a little hard to make out what it says unless you look at it really close and focus, but Iāve typed out what it says below.
A. SALLY STARLET AND EDDIE DEAR can be played with for hours with their fellow cut-out neighbors! Included in the #3 "The Welcome Home Dailies" activity booklet. Howdy Pillar included.
B. SING-WITH-WALLY RECORD lets yous sing along with Wally Darling and the cavalcade of colorful cast members from "Welcome Home." Includes 7-inch 45 rpm vinyl record with five memorable songs.
C. HOME is a darling house fit for the most darling neighbor. One of eight houses to play and place on the WELCOME HOME TM PLAYMAT. Wally Darling included. Wood/Plastic.
Thatās all that Iāve noticed that I havenāt seen others mention. Thank you so much for taking the time to read, and I sincerely Welcome you Home~
Below, Iām gonna list things I noticed that I havenāt seen anyone talk about before. I will list these under a spoiler. Do not read ahead if you want to figure out and find things on your own!
Add ons below! Remember, donāt read if you want to figure out things yourself~.
A lovely friend of mine did this to highlight the hidden words in the third and fourth images for themself and gave them to me, encouraging me to add it to the post. So here you go! I tried to do this myself, admittedly, but the drawing program I use wasnāt able to display it any better, so Iām incredibly grateful for my friendās help!

The particular things I noticed are on the āWhats Welcome Homeā page. All the bits I found are in the slideshow, which if I remember correctly are the only images on the site that weāre not able to open, download, or really enlarge. Some of these findings required me to fully zoom in using my browser to notice them, and at some points, even screenshot and furthur enlarge them in another program to be able to decifer what I was looking at. Weāll be going through them in the order that the images come in in the slideshow.
The first thing I found is in the second image of the slideshow. Nothing here appears out of place to me EXCEPT for the āsignatureā in the bottom right corner. This isnāt actually a signature at all, and is a set of numbers placed on top of each other. From what I can tell, the numbers are 6, 7, 3, and 5. I do not think there are any others there, but please do let me know if you spot any that I didnāt. Here is an enlarged screenshot of the numbers.
The next thing I found is actually in both the third and fourth images, as theyāre the same but oneās in black and white. I zoomed in because I thought I saw something else elsewhere on the image, and when I didnāt find anything there, I started combing the whole image while zoomed in. And thatās when I noticed that in the words āWeāll Be Right Back!ā, thereās another set of words in much lighter color cleverly hidden around it. Itās basically impossible to notice unless you zoom in, and I had to enlarge it furthur in another program to able to tell what it seems to say. From what I can tell, it says, āNow Your Home Beā. Iām not sure I have it 100% correct, but thatās what I see. It doesnāt really make sense to me, particularly the inclusion of the last word, but I wanted to include it none-the-less. Here is an enlarged screenshot of the words.
Even here, itās hard to see. I recommend zooming in on it furthur to see whatās there. Itās also slightly easier to see if you look at the black and white version of the picture.
The last thing is a little message thatās kind of in plain sight in the fifth image. In this image, we can see the edges of paragraphs to the right. Towards the bottom, we can find a couple words spelled out vertically. They say, āHello youā. Here is a screenshot of this part.
This is what Iāve found that I havenāt seen anyone point out before. Iām combing through the pages one at a time to look for anything new. Iāll post anything I find altogether in groups by the page theyāre on for now. Thatās all, and I sincerely Welcome you Home~
