The arrival of the full moon signals yet another intricate puzzle to unravel within the Werewulf Alternate-Reality Game (ARG), an immersive marketing campaign crafted for Robert Eggers' highly anticipated medieval horror film.

Following the debut trailer during a full moon, last month's Harvest Moon introduced both a fresh trailer and the inception of this cryptic mystery. This month brings the Hunter's Moon—a fitting celestial event considering Willem Dafoe portrays a dedicated wolf hunter in the motion picture.

As the lunar cycle progresses, next month's supermoon will deliver the third and final chapter of the ARG challenge. Finally, on Christmas Eve, the Full Cold Supermoon will align with the theatrical release of the movie.

Cracking the Hunter's Moon Clue

The trail for the latest challenge begins online, directing participants to the official game portal where a cryptic message awaits: "Seke the goost and turne thy glas upon the moone."

Deciphering this riddle requires utilizing a specialized Werewulf Snapchat lens. Activating the filter projects directional arrows prompting users to adjust their phone's position. Aligning the device eventually reveals four distinct characters written in the Theban, or witch's, alphabet.

Solution and Translation

Compared to previous iterations, this month's runic characters are significantly easier to read and translate. The resulting password for the puzzle is simply "DARK." Unlike the previous month's demanding solution of "HUNTERE," this entry uses standard modern spelling.

Players can now input this solution directly into the official website to complete the current phase. With anticipation building toward the final supermoon chapter, Robert Eggers' upcoming feature continues to generate immense dread and excitement ahead of its Christmas Eve premiere.
