Trials HD - The Riddle Revealed

[@lordelohim]

Given that there was no solution, there was therefore no riddle, they were, in fact, just easter eggs paying homage to famous visionaries. They were interesting, but the only riddle here is "was this a riddle?"

agreed

[@Mediamatix]

And the answer is, yes, and WHAT a riddle it (still) is! www.kotaku.com.au/2015/06/the-trials-evolution-riddle-has-been-solved-and-it-is-truly-unbelievable/

[@EpikOne]

Spot on

[@DrMcFly28]

Agreed. A bunch of references does not a riddle make. The Trials Evolution one on the other hand...

[@Stickz027]

Mad respect. I miss this community. I was the one who figured out the Beethoven easter egg. But to see the riddle go this far is absolutely mind blowing. Kick ass job on a kick ass game Redlynx!

[@johnemmanuelbaclig9189]

This video teaches a very valuable lesson for us humans. Its surprising and disappointing that it hasn't reached a million views yet tho

[@UniversityOfTrials]

Thanks for that. I'm the dude who made that video so it pleases me greatly that not only are people still watching it but still getting the point of it.

[@juliocorzo4171]

UniversityOfTrials I started in Trials back when I had a crappy laptop with 128 MB of VRAM. I now play Fusion on PS4, and I have to say, the amount of effort and dedication you have put into these games really has made it more enjoyable for me and more countless more. Thanks for all your effort. I just finished Inferno IV thanks to your walkthrough video!

[@UniversityOfTrials]

+Julio Corzo Thanks for that.

[@MahaAnba]

as said. was it "mistake"

[@DioxideCad]

7:26 those are two hydrogen atoms. I thought that would've been clarified for those who haven't studied chemistry. It might've even released some more clues, or questions shall I say.

[@adam_isiah]

Honestly god damn amazing. Not only did they make one of the most noticeable games in xbox 360 history. But made a outstanding riddle that somehow fits perfectly in a game about riding a motorcycle in a building. I hope the trials series keeps going to make more amazing, yet baffling, riddles (and games!) like these.

[@UerMom]

Meanwhile the creators of the game laugh themselves to death

[@zearzen]

Okay, maybe I'm an easy sell but I admit to tearing up a little at the Voyager part. She's almost out of our Solar System now. *salutes* Excellent and awesome vid.

[@Droopah1]

trials HD. a game about motocross guys and squirrels in a neverending warehouse that defies gravity and reality. who would have thought that the game would be this deep!

[@arandomsupra]

I was gonna make a comment about the trials evolution then I realised you made this comment on the exact year the game was released

[@Bollard]

Autotuned mustard on my bike was epic.

[@docholiday13]

The MOTHER of all Easter Eggs has been revealed. Redlynx is the overall winner of everything. This is beyond amazing and I had no idea, but am smiling to find this out. Oh the stories I will tell now. Pure genius!

[@xxCreeperPLxx]

pozdrawiam tvgry

[@DemoniWaari]

AWESOME! I really adore people who put stuff like that to such a context that people want and will try to solve! Mysteries of life and science are the best.

[@ariejimji]

Man - this is superbly timed marketing/not saying this is a setup - but the release of this video is so brilliantly timed to remind us all about a great game, and its follow up in a matter of days....props to all involved!!

[@FatShady1]

Honestly that was the best compliment I have ever heard about this video and Im glad you 'got' what I was going for. This video took so much time and i put so much into it just so people got that feeling. I really wanted people to remember this... it is kind of an abstract answer so just saying it would not do the ride justice... thank you very much.

[@Jonofthejungle26]

I also think the riddle was about gathering great minds to explore these unexplained questions, even when these minds are not established scientists/ explorers etc but just the followers of a well loved game.

[@giuseppeprofiti6823]

HOLY SHIT DUDE! That gave me literally chills!

[@KarlBryngelsson]

This is amazing. It's sad to se that most developers don't do this kind of stuff in their games. Hats off to you guys at RedLynx, you're fucking awesome!

[@FatShady1]

Oh I had the music custom made for this video because of the copyright issues... (damn piracy laws). Anyway, Aussie artist James Flamestar made both tracks. The track over the credits was made almost entirely from sampling the game sounds :) @JFlamestar on twitter or I think his email was in the credits.. Also think his soundcloud page has the songs. ;)

[@0002pA]

I also had to thinkg Voyager's golden plate after a while, glad you found that out too. Never really played any of the Trials games, but this was a very interesting video. Well done !

[@xXGhilliedxSamuraiXx]

These developers were out of their minds.

[@1AngrySloth]

other games really should learn this is just an AMAZING easter egg!

[@x1g5dj7dh4]

1AngrySloth Try Fez?

[@FatShady1]

Hey man, glad you liked it. I'll check with Redlynx and the musician. He is keen to put it on his soundcloud so if i can, I'll organise this.

[@olivergilmartin]

Just emphasises the incredible attention to detail that genuinely makes this the best experience on xbox live i have ever had!

[@BLOODSAVAGE252]

all this... from a dirt bike game

[@MrDragonbreath198]

That bit at the very end made me wonder Trials evolution riddle... Maybe but Christmas in a riddle about the mysteries of the universe. I don't know how

[@Chimerathon]

Wow, what a profound riddle to be placed into a video game about crashing into stuff with a motorcycle.

[@Freeden]

I gotta say, this was pretty damn interesting. I like mysteries like this, and although playing the game and trying to wrap my head around these clues would have probably frustrated me to no end, the search would have been fascinating. This video is fantastic at putting the developers philosophies and thoughts out in the open. While the game shares little in connection with these things, I think it's a wonderful platform to explore these deeper questions and mysteries. And that is one of the reasons I love gaming and love the games I love. They can present us with something deep and meaningful in a way that interacts with us and puts choices in our hands. I feel like this entire video would have meant little without the riddle that the game begged to ask.

[@UniversityOfTrials]

I made that vid and i was the first to be told the answer. I decided to make the video as simlpy telling someone the answer did nothing to explain the importance of the answer. I kid of felt it needed that extra explanation and your comment pretty much sums that up. Cheers,

[@marinatedbiology5597]

the meaning of life is 42, according to the hitchhikers guide to the universe

[@Topsrek]

I read the article you posted a week or two ago and before that i hadn't known anything about the riddle, because I don't have a Xbox. I surely heard of Trials HD and wanted to read, that it will be released in the Playstation Store, but :(( The riddle was quite good.

[@imaginateur2422]

Trials staff: We do that because is funny, letting you imagine stuff.

[@Chazney]

Is the riddle to go back in time and look at old videos and games of Trials or is it in the future? Who knows but we may find out in the future.

[@Bovineprogrammer]

The Fibonacci sequence is, "1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13..." etc. (it continues to infinity, each number being the sum of the previous two). The "square pattern" is, in fact, the golden rectangle, which is derived from the Fibonacci sequence in that each square's side lengths are one of those numbers.

[@mata5724]

That, or it's just a dumb game where you make a little man crash a motorcycle.

[@SpyroADragon]

I wasn't sure how they would have an answer for that but surprisingly it was an awesome answer. I've only been loosely following the secrets but this was still amazing.

[@nashcrash741]

about 2 minutes in i guessed croatoan because i have looked into the specifics behind the roanoke colony. i was suprised that it actually came up!

[@Py687]

Fibonacci sequence box also represents the golden ratio. Nice vid!

[@EVCartman]

The Christmas Scene at the very end refers to the movie Jorma Sainio, one of the creators of Trials, directed in 1964, called "Santa Clause Conquers the Martians". Cool, huh?

[@TonyoTimes]

As much as I love Trials HD and can't wait for Evolution, that was like watching Lost. It starts off really epic and leads you into thinking there's a great mystery at the end. Being into physics though, I think I said the same thing this ended with about 15 years ago. I was expecting more, but maybe I was a bit disappointed because it's something that I knew already. Very well made video though, I enjoyed watching it. :)

[@TheWhistlingCysts]

thats awesome, the devs just wanted people to be burningly fascinated by this riddle and learn things in the process of trying to solve it

[@kungfubug]

as soon as i saw 42 i knew it had something to do with ultimate question

[@JamesLovesGames118]

And I thought I wrote some convoluted crap. XD I don't remember seeing most of these areas... but job well done RedLynx for sticking all this in there.

[@xIronWarlordx]

What an epic conclusion to an epic game!

[@derpferguson5400]

ALL OF THIS SHIT IS PRETTY BASIC THOUGH. I'm curious about the other Easter Egg and the keys and what is in the box they open.

[@CAPiiX7s]

This is by far better than the W@W/Black Ops Easter Eggs.

[@itsthebrod]

Wow, that's some deep stuff for a game that gets a lot of its entertainment from different ways to maim a motorcycle rider.

[@SilkEclipse]

I knew it... I've been questioning life and everything too, since I left church in 2009... I still don't know what to believe any more...

[@FatShady1]

You say it could never be solved but actually at least 3-4 members of the Redlynx forum solved it unassisted over the past few months. This video that I made was really to close a chapter in this game and confirm that they actually got it right. This riddle was really about the personal journey. If you really 'wasted' time on this riddle, then you actually would have done that by yourself because you enjoyed the quest (the journey!) for an answer.. THAT was the point.

[@pgswagenius792]

Mind blowing... And we're not alone

[@philfarns]

Which came first....chicken or the egg? That one always gets me. Well done guys!

[@canoafurada1105]

Trials hd is in my heart, i miss my 360. :/

[@TopMaster360]

That "square pattern" is a fibonacci sequence, I think.

[@bananananana59]

also fibonacci's sequence is forever getting to the golden ratio which is found everywhere.

[@klalala112]

GENIUS RedLynx!!!

[@NoMoreHeads]

I wonder if the DNA stuff has to do something with the pyrosequenzing in Fusion :->

[@TomZentra]

This collection of clues doesn't seem like a planned effort. It's more like typical Easter egg stuff that programmers throw into their work. The longer they work on a project, the more eggs they put into it.

[@AntiGameBoy]

Does the ultimate question have anything to do before the 15th centuary?

[@CJtiger490]

I honestly just would have said "hey neat artwork"

[@tanthour]

"Ask questions, questions those questions, and search for the truth"

[@pla151]

The ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything is a fake question.

[@alicealysia]

The DLC may have been planned for a Christmas release?

[@THESLIMREEPER]

One thing you and others must realize is that the credits hold a interesting Easter egg and another mystery for the trials genre. Now go watch the credits, you guys play the game, so go pay respect to the guys who made it, you wont regret it...

[@SubsidizeDubstep]

*Mindblown* Right when I thought Trials HD was the best game ever.

[@grooverjamesr]

The strange square are Pathagorean as we all know it relates to how shapes in geometry fit together, some of the other parts relate to man's growth as a species, cave paintings were the first know form of art, and there are even sculpture and other clues that tie a link to Davinci, as seen in the film I just watched, If you translate the bnary codes and unscramble the lettering it will likely aid you more. Without detailed video I can't do it myself and I could do it.

[@360aWake]

What was the song...not the one on the credits :D

[@BikeTrial1995]

put simply, they put everyone on a wild goose chase while redlynx sat at there desks pissing themselves at people trying to figure the riddle out lol

[@Ninjamasta24]

....excuse me while i go clean the blood off my walls from when my head exploded about 2 minutes ago...

[@AgentHEKTAH]

Still watching?... You really are dedicated...

[@Parasite_wizard]

All of the solved ones are miracles and wonders, works of ingenuity, whil the "unsolved" ones are enigmas, sybols for people to never stop trying, and looking for secrets. But thats just a theory, a game theory!

[@crazytracks]

Clear and precise answers rarely give the satisfaction you crave after solving a riddle, besides, the answer given here fills a void on the philosophical level rarely achieved. Q: What is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, and everything? A: Are we alone in the universe? At the end of the day, a question can be an answer. It's cylindrical for a reason, questioning it's validity as an answer only empowers the message it's trying to get across.

[@GSJQuick]

Awww Yeeeaah! FatShady all up in this riddle!

[@yeetoburito2285]

I have a Question Is the rider the same person in all GAMES???......

[@wes008pwns]

MIND. BLOWN. This may have made me a better person.

[@bitofbeer]

no mustard on my sandwich, i want my bike TRIALS TIME BABY this was like watching an illuminate video

[@farukvatres9398]

The mysteries section points towards aliens

[@chuckiej]

Seriously impressive and fun! I disagree that the question is impossible, though.

[@Chilledoutredhead]

inifinitely better than any 40quid ive bought, well done redlynx :)

[@kcir94]

Looks like Fibonacci sequence at the beginning and 1:47. Its a very significant sequence to the universe.

[@DerSpudi]

Wow that's just too epic. I can't believe how much effort and thinking he put into this game, yet it is only "a little arcade" game. And omg, I can't fucking wait for Trials Evolution *.*

[@glumauig21]

*SPOILER ALERT* This is also the main point that the post-game of Ni No Kuni, (and Hayao Miyazaki) wants to show us. Curiosity.

[@audiobusting]

They were referring to this: /watch?v=vpjVgF5JDq8 It's not that they were leveling him up to people like Da Vinci, Darwin, and Fibonacci. It's a matter of the Mystery Box, which is the point of the riddle.

[@BranVP]

The egg, everything came from a single cell, and thats what an egg is.

[@TheSlasher199]

I gave this video a like because it truly deserved it. but its not the video is it? its the people who helped figure this out. and if we are living lives in the footsteps of our ancestors than truly every one helped figure it out, because every one asks questions. so lets see how the trials evo riddle plays out : ). so any way, THANKS EVERYONE!

[@Sissel984]

There has to be a new riddle in Trials: Evolution

[@squealyparsuperstar]

i'm glad i didn't chase after the answer.

[@roninalchemist]

To be fair, Super 8 was a pretty good film, but I definitely see your point here :)

[@ThatGuyWithGuns]

That was intense.

[@scarycrayons]

The problem with this is that it doesn't make you think. It's a hodgepodge of references to crazy events from different cultures, much like the ending to Assassin's Creed 1. The difference is that Assassin's Creed's final reveal actually had a substansial plot impact and a solid theme. In this game? They're completely meaningless. You see pop culture references to things like 'a box that the creator of Lost had' or 'the year da Vinci was born', and you think "Oh, okay. ...so what?".

[@XxKINGxVIDSxX]

Hope there is a riddle in trials evolution :D

The square pattern was the Fibonacci sequence, not Pythagorean. Of course I'm a little boy, so I dunno. I just THINK I do.
