TheGrateDebate Kojima explained the name 7780s ! 7780 is the postal code of the town in Japan, shizuoka ! Shizuoka means "silent hill". The "s" in the end of 7780 means "silent HILLS".

[@colorxtasy]

+TheGrateDebate And for the other number, 204863, this is a genome model of a tree called Populus trichocarpa ! A tree that you can find in the real TOLUCA LAKE in L.A (I'm sure that it reminds you something.. ;) ) That also explains the P.T cover in the woods and the several paintings of plants in the hall ! check this : www.gamefaqs.com/boards/827527-pt/69880935

[@RosettaWolfCatYouDontKnow]

It translates "Quite hills"

[@colorxtasy]

💜HushWushBush💜 You meant "Quiet" I think x) Quiet = Silent :)

[@RosettaWolfCatYouDontKnow]

Laureana Ams it means Quiet Hills which could roughly translate to silent hills. But still quiet hill

[@colorxtasy]

💜HushWushBush💜​ that's what kojima said , not me. And quiet is a synonym of silent. It's definitely the same thing x) but maybe in Japanese, there's a slight difference I guess :)

[@evan_6594]

I mean, if you still have the game you can, or if you have an older ps4 that's exploitable. But I've heard numerous times that it's possible to download and install the game if you have it in your library. I'm not sure if this is true or not, and I don't want to try it because I'd have to delete P.T. from my console to try it. I also don't know if this can be done entirely on the PS4 or if you have to use PKGs somehow.

[@Crazelord91]

This is so complicated I had to take a break and study some simple Quantum Physics

[@MasterXenin]

I've spent an extensive amount of time testing after watching this video, and have come to the conclusion that you don't need to say "Jarith" but rather anything that begins with a J. I've confirmed it working with Jonathon, Joseph, jambalaya, Jehovah's witness, Jumping Jack Frost, or even just saying the letter J. I've also tried changing the first letter of Jarith to a G for "Garith" and got nothing. As soon as I make the slightest J sound it triggers. This leads me to believe that it is not just a matter of sloppy voice recognition cutting you slack on speaking the word Jarith (because otherwise slurring Jarith or saying Gareth would have worked), but that the requirements are purposefully anything that begins with a J. The message on the error screen signed by -J combined with the instructions to "speak his name" are indeed the biggest clue, but I just don't think the translation of the numbers has anything to do with it. That logic simply led you to speaking names that begin with J. The reason why most any J name will work is probably because we don't know -J's full name, and Kojima wanted to leave it up to our interpretation or imagination, without being so strict no one would ever solve it. Also the eligibility for getting the laugh starts as soon as the clock begins striking, and has nothing to do with the ghost or how far she is into her haunting. I've purposefully desynced the clock and ghost so that one will happen way before the other, and nothing I said worked throughout the entire duration of the haunt, but I achieved a laugh instantly as soon as the clock started up, before the first chime had even ended, because I was already in the middle of speaking. Also, you can wait for both the clock and the haunting to dissipate and speak the name into complete silence, half an hour after it has struck midnight, and it will still register. This whole phenomenon feels like deciphering an ARG, and every step forward we make as a community gets me more and more excited at the notion of a Silent Hill directed by such an obvious madman.

But now i'm more fucked up than the game made me to START with. I have always been a silent hill fan, and MGS is one of my favorite game series' out there. This has got to be more than coincedence. So i took to the internet, and found out MY NAME is the answer to the final puzzle? I DON'T KNOW IF I'M FLATTERED or FUCKING HORRIFIED.

[@CapToastyStuff]

"Hideo Kojima comes to aid gamers in their continuous search for clues in P.T. with the reveal of the previously mentioned message. The “7780s” phrase found in the game, translates in a post code for Shizuoka, Japan. The name’s translation is Quiet Hills, a common nickname for Silent Hills in that region. So, adding “s” to “7780″ will result in Silent Hills."

[@CapToastyStuff]

Sorry to burst your bubble, man.

[@adammccormick95]

It probably has a double meaning because that whole 'tree' thing obviously seemed to work in solving the puzzle.

[@QuikVidGuy]

Corpse Midget But not just anything will trigger it right away

[@naoboi]

Or, "Jarith" is also "Jareth", which is a character David Bowie played. Kojima is obsessed with Bowie. So, it's also a cute reference.

[@naoboi]

Keep in mind that I in no way believe that jokey phonetic reference is meant to be taken as the actual reference in the context of Silent Hill ok? haha

[@wetheck6935]

in Japanese, they like to attribute syllables from the language to numbers (ie for phone numbers on commercials etc.) Not to mention a LOT of Japanese horror games and movies have mysterious numbers that translate into syllables. here's some of the most common attributions to the numbers: 2 = fu ni tsu 0 = o n to 4 = shi yo 8 = ha ba pa ya 6 = ro mu 3 = mi sa san fu o yo ba ro mi o fu ro ba mi yo ofuroba miyo ofuroba = the bathtub miyo = older Japanese for "Look at" (commanding) (for Japanese learners: "miro" and "miyou" are modern ways of saying it, but "miyo" (without the u) is the equivalent of modern "miro" in old Japanese) "Look at the Bathtub" Did anyone do that?

I have been trying to finish this since it was released and was never able to trigger the second giggle. Today I said Jareth into a mic a few times and it worked. Thanks man.

[@SumeaBizarro]

It would been interesting if you had also analyzed the first twitch broadcast. This probably happened in twitch precisely because streamers often talk while broadcasting the game. Given everybody streaming, that first guy probably said something close enough to "Jareth" to trigger the true end. This probably is the thing kojima did not expect when he stated that it would take weeks for players to figure out the final puzzle; the pure random change with implementing the microphone speech regicnition, and thousands of twitch streamers playing the game while talking. The funny thing that happened there is now instead finding the answer to conclusion people are finding the why from conclusion, and the unfounded stuff still could be very intriguing.

[@NecroMantis]

Jarith worked immediately. Nice work.

[@SimbaChar]

[@colinies]

Really incredible video! Liked!

[@Netsuke0]

My theory: Jarith is a way you can write Jared - a biblical character. Jared is Enoch's father. In the Bible, Enoch is the man who God takes to the Heaven. He didn't die. According Caballah, Enoch turns into an angel called Metatron. Metatron "appears" several times in Silent Hill franchise as the opposite of Samael. So, Jarith killed Lisa (who was pregnant) to try kill their child. The fetus in the sink is Enoch - or Metatron - and his laugh release the player from that hallway.

Are you my local preist??

[@sorual4604]

[@eraser400]

Wow. Just wow. Good job man!

[@PGunnii]

That Arcade Fire reference in the description makes me so happy

[@treppob5320]

At a gamescom live stream in which Kojima was interviewed about Silent Hills amongst other things, Kojima revealed the significance of 7780. He said his reason for picking 7780 for the faux studio's name was that in Japanese Silent Hill translates to Shizuoka which is either a ward of Tokyo or one of Japan's prefectures, (I cannot recall even if this is the right name of it. Its name sounded similar though) so people in Japan, when referring to the games call it Shizuoka, and 7780 is either the acreage or square kilometer measurement of that ward or prefecture. It was kind of a very well hidden hint right at the beginning of the game foreshadowing the reveal at the end. Whether or not this disproves your theory, I don't really know. Also, I have found that just plugging the mike in and shouting, talking or doing any assortment noises will also trigger the second baby's laugh. Really good detective work though. Whether or not this is the true and final solution, I applaud the effort. I never would even thought to look at all these little details so much.

[@Japan-Online]

shizuoka = shizu (ka) mean quiet, calm or silent, and oka means hills. Shizuoka Prefecture (State) and is 7,780.60km²

[@treppob5320]

Ok cool. I wasn't sure if I had the name right or not.

[@DecoyBlackMage]

You never know, Hideo could be saying the truth, but that does not mean he could not have taken that and woven it up like the theory suggests. There sure is a lot of anger in this channel so far though, do people seriously have this much issues with a game theory ?

[@NorthernCalifornia916]

The puzzle was too much to follow through with, indeed it was creative though. Still no one is really sure, but im not trying to crack the goddamn Da Vinci code every fucking level when the full game comes out. just no.

You were curious how the zero shows up in 08/24/63?

[@msampson3d]

I'm a bit confused. People have presumably got to the ending without saying anything into a mic. Is the thought that the mic heard random noise as the name? Also, I don't have a ps4. Do they all have a mic or something? Seems strange to create a solution that only people with a certain peripheral can solve... Edit: So it's clear to me now that the PS4 doesn't have a built in mic. One thing brought up in replies is that there are likely multiple triggers but this is one method to do it consistent. The next thing that it's unclear is if you really have to say that name, or can you just say literally anything into the mic? I don't think the vid mentioned testing alternate words.

[@DanielSantosAnalysis]

I am pretty sure the controllers have a mic built into them.

[@SpaziogamesIt]

***** No, they don't. But every PS4 comes bundled with a microphone and earpod.

Kojima already said that the 7780's Studio is the square footage of a place in Japan that has a name close to the Japanese translation of Silent Hill. And as for the loading screen, Kojima said that is just the backyard of a co-worker. So just with the 7780's number thing, his whole theory is down the drain.

[@KingRey.]

No, it works. Kojima could of built the puzzle around this number.

[@carlogz]

Shotana Films The puzzle is the number. Why would he admit to saying what the number was if he wont even tell us how to solve the final loop? it doesnt make any sense. I think people got into this whole demo without actually checking the internet what the creator had to say about it.

[@GrimSanto]

I am betting that you could say anything into the Mic and this would work.

[@ElliotLynch]

People report to have beaten it without the use of a mic. It's all still a mystery on how to actually trigger the ending. I gave up on mine a couple of days ago. We will see though if this far fetched theory turns out to be true. Oh and "thanks" once again to Kotaku for stirring the pot by posting any old crap story for views.

[@DecoyBlackMage]

***** except those people may have turned off the mic function on their system and due to that may have activated another trigger. I am not really sure what the problem is, because even if the theory is incorrect, not saying that it is, after all Kojima is known for fucking with people, lying on purpose several times etc. Because in the end the method does actually work, and while I know people are reporting doing it without saying this word specifically, I personally have not gotten random words to work, this one has worked each time.

[@goodmancharlieb]

Tested it out. Worked in 2 1/2 to 3 minutes like you said, first try at the loop. Amazing.

DAMN YOU'RE GOOD

[@arsnakehert]

"You're pretty good!"

[@Dakhoth]

arsnakehert In retrospect I kinda wish the voice on the phone had said "Kept you waiting, huh?" instead of "You've been chosen."

[@cazadorcazado08]

"They played us like a damn fiddle!"

[@AnEternalEnigma]

I got the second baby laugh while I had the game paused...

[@xPikshade]

So did I, but I also had a mic connected and was sitting in a room with my friend. It's possible it picked up something and thought it was the answer. Voice recognition is still sketchy.

[@MetalHearts100]

Me too man, damn it.. Paused the game to get some food and the fucking baby laughed.

[@imaginepeace8574]

MetalHearts100 pants were shat on that moment XD

[@amadav4889]

MetalHearts100 baby : "how you got some food did you can i have some? 'laughs'

[@thatscottishdude_2858]

Your name just describes it all. "AnEternalEnigma."

[@Postmortem88]

This method worked for me the first time I tried. It's unbelivable how Kojima put so much deepness into this puzzle, that's why I love him and that's also why I think the upcoming silent hill game will be the best one to date. Also what I found interesting in PT was the fist room. If you look at the walls, there are tallies (those counting lines) carved into the walls. And after a while, you can hear the noise, like someone is carving more lines. There is also a paper bag on the table with blood on it. I don't know what all that means but maybe that's also a small puzzle or another secret?

[@angel_mason_13]

Man... That worked as a charm... You rock!!! :D

[@Kameratyp]

I used the: "did you rike it? !" method

[@MultiSdgsg]

P.T was 5 years ago oh my fucking god

[@MordhouseMD]

awesome ... this worked in 3 minutes for me! great job and thanks!

[@streetg850]

Worked the very first time I tried, thanks for all of the research.

[@deannasaber712]

... I really shouldnt be watching Silent Hill/P.T. videos at 1 oclock in the morning....

[@angelgirl976]

+Shannon Penasar I decided it was a good idea to watch the video where you can catch a glimpse of Lisa if you exit the starting room backwards after dying. Worst idea ever.

[@deannasaber712]

+Lauren Carroll oh God... I think I watched that one as well. To be honest, I watched about 4/5 PT vids... Worst sleep of my life. XD

[@annstrain660]

I've got school tomorrow. Well, now I'm heading to school with and expanding piss stain.

[@afraidsari]

watching these at 2am so just gonna leave all my lights on

[@AnonyMous-rr1br]

Well, so much for the theory about what 7780s means. 7780 is the postal code for a place in Japan that has a name that roughly translates to Quiet Hills. www.ign.com/articles/2014/08/22/hideo-kojimo-explains-that-mysterious-number-in-the-pt-demo

[@vVAstrAVv]

saw the jarith method used on jesse cox's channel worked really quick and pretty much convinced me that it was the definite answer great video

[@santiagomoneta]

2019 an still there is stuff coming up from this demo... amazing

[@TheFerris96]

Kojima played us like a damn FIDDLE !
