    Hey everyone,

    I just had a really weird experience while traveling in Romania. I was browsing a small library in a tiny town nestled in the Carpathian Mountains, and I found this invitation tucked inside a book. The thing is, it was stamped with some kind of sigil, a wax seal, but the strangest part was that it also had a QR code printed on it. Talk about an odd mix of old and new.

    Naturally, I scanned the QR code. It led to a riddle. Once I solved it, the link took me to a website called gnosisarcanum.org, and it asked for an invite code.

    Has anyone else stumbled across anything this peculiar? A physical invitation with a digital puzzle leading to a website? It feels like the start of something... I'm tempted to explore, but wanted to see if anyone else has encountered anything similar before diving in.

    Let me know if this rings any bells for anyone!

              It’s part of the recruitment process of hungarian sleeper agents tasked with overthrowing the romanian government when WWIII’ll burst out.

                                    This is so unreal, the freaking rainy & hail weather made me go in there for shelter, I do feel in another world, I asked a hostess about vampires and she laughed and told me to eat garlic.

                                      Ha! Good question. If I recall correctly, it was a pretty old copy of Friedrich Nietzsche. something like 'Beyond good and evil,' I think. It was the Romanian translation, so the title might have been slightly different, but the cover art had that classic old philosophy book look. Did you find something similar?

                                        No, unfortunately not. Was just wondering. Good job solving the riddle. I found it on their website, but it has only added to my track record of sucking at riddles.

                                          This is exactly what made me curious enough to dig into it.
