#CIPHERHUNT

he doesn’t have his hat tho, i’m not sure what happened with that. however, May and Momo did a very sweet thing and got Bill a treasure box!

so if you want to leave goodies for other fans who visit, you now have a safe place to put them.

as far as we know, this is where Bill is going to stay—at least, he’ll be on Confusion Hill property for a while, so if you want to plan a trip to see him, that’s where you should go!

if you do visit, please be sure to respect park rules and thank the staff for taking care of him. and leave a gift for other fans if you can! 

DAY 1 | DAY 2 | DAY 3 | DAY 4 | DAY 5 | DAY 6 | DAY 7 | DAY 8 | DAY 9~13 | DAY 14 (FINAL) | DAY 15 (P.S.)

This is just to tie up loose ends since the actual hunt is over now. Refer to the previous day to see any updated information and images.

First off, a little sad news: It turns out the Bill Cipher statue was actually sitting on a property border dispute. And one of those the property owners had the statue removed. (Alex had in fact made a deal with the other one to have Bill placed there in the first place.) So bemused police came and dug him out, surrounded by mournful Hunters. You can watch Bill being dug up and carted off here, here, and here. His hat (which was already unsteady) came off during the dig.

The good news! Thankfully the Reedsport Police Department agreed to keep the statue for Alex to pick up instead of possibly disposing it. And even offered to help install it somewhere else.

Alex did actually end up getting permission from that property owner, HOWEVER, ANOTHER property owner ALSO disputes the location. Rather than get in the middle of that situation, Alex has decided to move the statue to an all new place. (New location TBA.)

The pilot was quietly posted online during all the hubbub on http://themysteryofgravityfalls.com/pilot last night. It needs a username and password to unlock, which turned out to be in the ‘MyExWifeStillMissesMe.BuHerAimISGettinBetter’ file from the USB discovered among the treasures.
