What Redditors are Saying

Secret Messages in Gravity Falls

TL;DR Gravity Falls is packed with secret messages and codes, often using ciphers like Caesar, Atbash, and Vigenère. Fans have deciphered many of these messages, revealing hidden jokes, plot details, and character insights.

Types of Ciphers Used

Gravity Falls features several types of ciphers throughout its episodes. In the first season, the initial six episodes use a Caesar cipher with a key of 3 [4:4]. Later episodes employ Atbash and A1Z26 ciphers [4:9]. The second season introduces the Vigenère cipher, which requires a keyword to decode, often hidden near a key symbol within the episode [4:6].

Deciphering Techniques

Fans have developed various methods to crack these codes. One common approach is identifying repeating letters or patterns, as seen when deciphering "FILL" for double L [3]. Some fans have shared guides on how to decode these messages, offering step-by-step instructions [4:1]. Additionally, listening to the theme song backwards can reveal clues [4:8].

Examples of Decoded Messages

Some decoded messages provide humorous content or references to the show's plot. For example, one message reads "STAY AWAY FROM HER CIPHER. SHE HAS THE PROTECTION OF THE LUMBERFOLKS SPIRITS," referencing Pacifica's storyline [2:1]. Another fun message discovered was "Next up: 'footbot two grunkle's grevenge," showcasing the playful nature of these hidden secrets [5].

Importance of Hidden Codes

While some messages are lighthearted jokes, others offer deeper insights into the show's narrative and characters. Each episode includes an end screen code, some of which are more significant than others [5:1]. These codes contribute to the immersive experience of Gravity Falls, encouraging viewers to engage with the show beyond its surface-level content.

For fans interested in exploring these hidden messages further, there are comprehensive resources available online that compile all known codes and their translations.

Where exactly is this from? Because those are just random uses of various symbols (some of which are also used in ciphers, but not all).

There are a few messages on the box set, but they’re pretty clearly the symbols aligned in a nice row, not just random placement.

Looks like the random scribbles that are placed in the journal, AFAIK those don't mean anything either

I was looking up codes on this is not a thisisnotawebsitedotcom.comI noticed something in very small text beneath the last entry when I came across this here's what I got so far :VDD DZDB LURP FISKAU. VKH KDV WKH SURWHRWLRQRI WKH OXPEHUIR ONV VSLULWV. I think it's out of the Caesar Cipher or the A-Z Cipher

got it ?? it says :SAA AWAY IROM CFPHXR. SHE HAS THE PROTEOTIONOF THE LUMBERFO LKS SPIRITS.

some some of it doesn't make sense any of you got ideas on what it means ??

This has been documented. It translates to "STAY AWAY FROM HER CIPHER. SHE HAS THE PROTECTION OF THE LUMBERFOLKS SPIRITS." It is a reference to Pacifica earning the forgiveness and respect of the lumberjack ghost in the episode Northwest Mansion Mystery.

Edit: Forgot to mention that the code uses a caeser cipher, shifted three letters. Also in the future for codes that are typed out like this you can copy-paste them to help prevent accidentally missing letters.

I've just finished deciphering the messages from the trailer and I've noticed I'm not the only insane enough person to do it, so I'd like to know your methods. I'm ESL, so it took me +2h to crack it, but what can I say, I get so absorbed by this kind of stuff. It was fun. Took me back to Gravity Falls times.

I did a lot of guessing. Letter L was the first one I got thanks to the FILL (double L) one (although I was thinking of KILL or WILL). I was getting stuck with the short messages, so I jumped to the long ones. I got E after googling what the most common letter is in english. Then I got the THE at the beginning, the SHALL SUFFER (double F), SHALL WITNESS (double S) and then OF, HE, WHO, BUT, etc. From there I brute forced the rest of the message.

It's a cool way to hype us the puzzle nerds. The Mark of the Hand looks like something very relevant to the plot. We'll see. Until then, you can share your decoding process here, like I did. I'm curious.

Stole this from someone else, but the first one is:
“The body of he who bears the mark of the hand shall suffer injury, shall feel pain, shall witness death, but is forever tethered to the soul. Upon injury, the body will persist. Bolstered by the mark, it will restore itself but never to completion. Upon death, the seal will awaken and bind the soul to the body once more The body of he who bears the mark of the hand has become a tomb for his soul evermore and evermore”
The second is "Fill your parents cars with bees"

GravityFalls6_18 · 3 years ago

From 7 to 13 they use atbash, from 14 to 19 they use a1z26 (each letter is a number). In the last episode of the first season though they use a fusion of ALL three of these codes

40 upvotes on reddit
GravityFalls6_18 · 3 years ago

In the second season they use vigenere, this type of code needs a word to be the key to solve it. In each episode the secret word that cracks the code will be hidden next to a symbol of a key.

Noticed this little message in my book! (Lost Legends!!)

Posted by bultaoreunemyheartxx · in r/gravityfalls · 8 days ago

Noticed, interestingly enough, that some of the font styles were different and I was like, huh, that an error?? Then, remembering it is GF (and transported back to my past 39 Clues phase) I realized it might be a message! That is so cool.

P.S. Spoiler alert: >!W e c o m e b a c k!<

It's probably been noticed before (obvi), and it isn't anything crazy, but I thought it was so neat! 🤩❤️ this is the kinda stuff that makes GF even more fun. #thingz

(P.S. Pls don't hate me, ik GF has a lot of secret codes, but it was cool to find this one w/o even looking. Let's share the love!! 🥰)

Don’t Look Away.

Posted by BenFitzgeraldPincus · in r/CoryxKenshin · 8 months ago

Just started today’s spooky scary Sunday, and after seeing this message, I raced to find my gravity falls notebook to see if this was just some random text or if it was some kind of cipher. I flipped to the page where I had the Atbash cipher key written down and got to work. It says ‘Don’t Look Away’. Pretty cool.
