Background: In April, the studio was sustaining its conversations through shows and community sessions, while players were still waiting for something they could actually hold. On Friday, the team was ready to give them a first look at Cryptogram.

Today: The studio released the first image of Cryptogram, created by another of its cofounders, who had spent many years at Pixar. Some people in the community discussed its visual style; others asked how it would reach players. The image could not yet answer that question.

Impact and next steps: The conversation now had something tangible to focus on, but its question shifted from what Cryptogram would look like to how people could obtain it. The Night Watchman planned to keep players’ questions about eligibility together so they could be checked against the rules when those appeared. For now, the image alone settled nothing.
