TRAILHEAD - When The Bells Ring
no clue what to put here

8:09 PM today, I get an email from max.smith.christianSPLATgmail.com.

Title: SOONmyDREAMSwillBEreal

Translating the hex code give me:

Obviously it's a reversed URL with a Caesar cipher. Using ROT-21, I get

Now we wait, I guess.

Is this a game that has already started or is this the [Trailhead] for a new game (in which case usually you name it based on the website or theme found in the rabbithole). If it's an existing game, we can merge this post into that thread and in the future please respond in the proper thread rather than starting a new thread.

I'm not sure if it's an existing game or not. Should I change the title to something like, "(TRAILHEAD) - When The Bells Ring" or something else?

 UPDATE

The page turned to the number 6 with glitch effects, so it's probably a count-down. There's text that says, "Find the clues. Win this game." Guess we find clues.

Also on that page, it seems like there are a lot of places to click, but they all seem to lead back to the same page. Could be that one of them goes elsewhere (find the clues) or it could be that they just overlaid the 6 image on what will eventually be their home page. I'm intrigued.

The 6 is actually just text

originally when I was messing around with the page source, i noticed that there was an image that redirected you to the website when you clicked on it. adjusting the brightness and contrast in photoshop left me with this image, not sure if it means anything however.

now it seems to be a glitched image of a spider, but strangely doesn't loop like the glitched 5. it glitches for a few seconds then shows the spider. there also doesnt seem to be any text hidden for this image either unlike the previous numbers

looks like a puzzle, but I haven't been able to make any progress on it.
