This list is a short summary of different game resources used or suggested by some of the players for solving clues in an ARG. It is by no means exhaustive and undoubtedly many players have a number of other tools yet to be disclosed.
Contents
Anagram Tools
- Free Anagram Research Tool -- Anagram elimination tool
- Anagram Site
- WordSmith's Internet Anagram Server
- Anagram Artist
- Iterative Anagram Solver -- Decode multi-word anagrams word by word
Cipher Tools
Translation Tools
- Morse Code Translation
- Binary Translator
- InterTran Language Translator
- Binary, Hex, and Octal translation
- Base 64 translation
Writing Systems/Identification
- Omniglot - Modern, arcane, and obscure writing systems
Sound Editing

Graphics Manipulation

Video Manipulation

Textual Deciphering
Posting
Web Adresses
- TinyURL --- Purpose & Result: Create shorter URL links by generating a random combination of letters and/or numbers based on the url submitted
i.e., a given URL will generate the same Tinyurl link each time.
Images
- PhotoBucket
- ImageShack --- Upon submission, a filename is given 2-4 random letters/numbers to the end in an attempt to avoid creating duplicate links. ImageShack has ~100 different servers, so trying to purposely create a link to generate a given string in a URL is practicly impossible, as each server number would offer a different generation of a url.
Videos
Audio
Text
Chat
- IRC Tutorial
- Freenode
- irc.freenode.net
