*Logbook Spoilers* Secret Code -- Help Wanted!

[Rollerwings]

**As warned in the title, this contains spoilers for the Survival Logbook.**

We're trying to solve this one on the FNaF Reddit and we could really use more eyes on this! Scott has used secret codes before, and there is something hidden in the logbook.

As Freddit user MichaelO2000 noted, several pages contain the faded text "MY NAME." Each page with this text has a weird numeric clue:

Page 29 is numbered 52.
Page 32 is numbered 39.
Page 43 is numbered 15.
On page 47 the numbers 7 2 appear out-of-order on a survey question.
On page 85 the numbers 10 11 appear in red; they're part of a list.
On page 108, the time 8:11 appears on an incident report Mike is supposed to log. (As a night shift guard, though, he wouldn't have been around for an incident at 8:11 a.m. or p.m.)

So putting the numeric clues in order, we get:

52
39
15
7 2
10 11
8 11

On page 95 there is a drawing exercise involving a grid, but the grid isn't set up properly to complete the drawing. Its axes are numbered from the upper-left corner and there's a tiny A B C in that corner. This is a Polybius Square, used for cracking codes:

It appears we're supposed to fill out the rest of the alphabet on the Polybius Square, left to right, and then graph the numeric clues on it. (down, across style?) Doing that yielded:

Z N E L Z N

(For the record, graphing them (across, down) yielded X Y Y X R P.)

This is where we're stumped. I ran the ZNELZN clue through the standard Geocaching Decryption Key that substitutes one letter for another and got MARYMA. If you take out the last two clues that each have two separate numbers (10 11 and 8 11) that leaves you with an actual name, MARY. I'm still thinking there's got to be more to it, though.

*****

There are other oddities in the book. For unknown reasons Mike has made red-ink tally marks throughout it:

On page 9 there are 5.
On page 19 there are 10.
On page 31 there are 14.
On page 36 there are 5.
On page 100 there are 5.

This adds up to 39 tallies. The pages with tallies don't appear to have anything else in common.

*****

On page 79 there are some coupons for FFP, on one of these Mike wrote "For real value, see page 61." Page 61 contains a "finish the comic strip" exercise. In one of the completed panels, Foxy and Freddy stand before a chalkboard on which "5+4" and "3" are written. Foxy is also reading a magazine with the word "FRIDAY" on it.

Opinions differ as to whether "9" and "3" are part of the code or just confirmation that FNaF1 happened in '93.

Any ideas on these are more than welcome! I'd like to keep this thread clear for fellow code-crackers, so kindly keep comments and discussion on topic. Thanks!

Use an Adblock then

No because it's easier for me to just not watch it.

So I'm guessing since this discussion was in January, that everyone has seen Game Theory's newest video on the logbook and how the code has been cracked to 'Cassidy'

I see Scott's getting into coding message YOU DO THE MATH IN THE WORD SEARCH AND U GET CASSIDY

About Cassidy. She is another name, she is Golden Freddy. Cassidy is found in the word search, while Springtrap is found in the Foxy grid.

The logbook gives two names: Springtrap and Cassidy.

There are 3 "writers" in the logbook, Red ink is Mike, Faded text is Springtrap, and Altered printed text is Cassidy.

See I thought that the messups with the pages numbers and everything aside, from the slashes, were used as coordinates used on the word search to give us the name Cassidy. Treesicle did a video on it in response to MatPat's video where he asked for help on it. I didnt realize that people think that 'my name' is Springtrap

Yeah I just got the book and was trying to figure out what the grid was used for. It's my first time here

[the2ectospud]

Has anyone made any new discoveries or is it just the grid and 'my name'
