It's been five days since we released our Cipher Puzzle, a cryptic enigma that invites you to dive into the rabbit hole. Since then, we've witnessed the community working together on Discord to crack the code, spending hours brainstorming and analyzing all the clues hidden in the puzzle.

We realize this challenge is quite steep, and it is meant to be so. Currently, most active puzzle solvers have managed to solve the first stage of the puzzle: the passport page. They are now working hard to assemble the clues from the second stage: the infamous Countdown page. A handful of community members have cracked the code and are now trying to solve the third stage: the cipher spiral.
No one knows what's behind this screen for now. Will people finally be able to uncover thepuzzle's mysteries? Or do more enigmas await? This is still unknown, but time is flying, and the gate to the secrets will close forever on July 7th.
Fortunately, one community member, April , has stepped up to help her fellow solvers progress further into the puzzle. She has assembled all the clues to reach the third stage. Today, she is sharing some of her findings to help the community progress as a whole, leaving no one behind!

Below is the copy of this thread:
1. The First Steps: Passport Puzzle
The journey starts with the PASSPORT puzzle. What initially seemed to be Morse code was discovered to be a barcode, revealed through photo editing and some out-of-the-box thinking.
2. The Countdown
Those who advance are welcomed by a beautiful, minimalistic page with a countdown and many hints entwined into a mysterious story that most have yet to unveil. But as impossible as it seems at first, there are bits and pieces we have already identified.
3. Discovering Constellations
Our clues lead us to the stars. The constellation [REDACTED] holds critical answers. The table on the bottom left of the puzzle image lists spatial items, while the map and the poem whisper secrets.
4. The Flying Equations
Equations surprise us by flying out of the screen toward us. Their significance is undeniable, holding the key to the next layer of the mystery. Come to our Discord and compare your calculations with ours!
5. Text in the Stars
Hidden within the background, we find text that brings us closer to the truth. Each line, a breadcrumb, leading us deeper into the rabbit hole. The puzzle unfolds, but the challenges grow steeper. Where have we seen a puzzle like this before?
6. Kryptos Coordinates
We may had our doubts but once the Kryptos coordinates emerge, there are no more. But what are those keys (17, 5,43, 46, 33, 8, 18, 16, 30) that hint at a path of unlocking further secrets? Will they bring us closer to the final destination?
7. Mystery Intensifies
Despite all the clues, very few have progressed past the Countdown page. Those who do, find themselves on the brink of the third challenge.
8. The Journey Continues
How many more doors must we unlock to finally arrive at our destination? There's only one way to find out, Traveler!
Join us, the Galactica Cipher awaits your brilliance. You just might be among the first 77 to unlock the vault.
We hope April's advice will help more community members to move further into the puzzle rabbit hole and find the answers. Remember, gates are closing on the 7th of July.
Good luck everyone. We're waiting for you on the other side.
