We could use some help
archanumarcha game is too confusing

A few of us are working on this archanumarcha game that's been going on for the past couple of weeks, but the codes are too complicated.

I think it started with this video on facebook and can walk people through to where we are so far. The video is here

https://www.facebook.com/387723884756520/videos/387901928072049/

They taunt us via facebook... so it might just be some jerk tbh, but its fun so far, and they've alluded to prizes so. help? lol

I would love to assist, easier for me to follow / communicate through reddit as i check it much more often. I also posted a response there.

Went to http://www.archanumarcha.com/ and looks like there's a countdown to July 1st.
OP, what do you have so far?

So what I have from the website is
QR directs to scan.me/5hcs86g which is https://instagram.com/archanumarcha/
I translated the morse to ARCSANUMARCSA EO22828TEXE but I'd really like someone to double check it.

Texting archanumarcha to 22828 gets this in return:

Is bacon helpful as a code word?

Instagram cipher
Starting at the top left and going clockwise number the pictures 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8. Rearrange them as 5 2 7 4 1 6 3 8. Starting at the arrowed T put them in columns of 21 letters (5 columns total) so not even a transposition cipher.

"The power they hold lies in their irboxes [sic] but the knowledge has been released. Fame and or fortune awaits those who find their own.

Here from Reddit.

The four boxes are the pictures on the cube; in the source code, they are named "Power, Fortune, Fame, Knowledge".

Also, interestingly enough, the QR code side is named "DONTSCANTHIS".

We might have to text/email our choice at some point.

EDIT: Could someone set up an IRC chat and direct everyone there?

EDIT AGAIN: Not 100%, but I think
the last bit is

Wondering if OP is the "mole".

Edit once again: Error on the balance- CIPSAMKGWLPKQCIFEXLJGFIPYR
is Vigenére with Geeq Magnisi as password.

The whole bit leads to the kickstarter here: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1210149618/the-mystery-box-club
Interesting puzzles, i may sign up for a box.
