As many of you know, hidden within the Collectors Edition of the Gravity Falls Box Set were some Bill Cipher Easter Eggs. One Easter Egg that had been found was a reversed message from Bill. When reverted back to normal, he spoke of the keyword: INSIDE JOB. Many of us didn’t know what it meant.
UNTIL NOW.
Within Gravity Falls: Lost Legends ー which was just released yesterday ー there were several secret codes scattered throughout the book. In all four stories, several scattered words were found, in which when put together could form the sentence:
“TO FIND A SPIDER, SEARCH THE WEB”.
There was also a code within the Table of Contents page, hidden on the side of the table. When you use the phrase above to decode it using Vigenere Cipher, it comes out to:
“SHMEB-YOU-UNLOCKED”.
There is actually a website that you can find under that name, which I’ll picture down below, along with a link:
Once you go there, you’ll be met with several different notebooks, and a message from Shmebulock telling you how anti-social you are for actually having the time to find the website.
Every book has a description about a certain item or character. AND, every book has a code at the bottom.
When decoded using the key “INSIDE JOB”, you get all the hidden messages about each character or object. I’ll list what they say below:
——–
Book One: Shmebulysses Q. Locke the III
THE TRUE MEANING OF SHMEBULOCK: SUCH HORRORS MEN ENDURE, BLIND UNIVERSE LAUGHING. ONLY CURE? KINDNESS.

and THANKS to ANYONE ELSE who assisted with the decoding process with me! This sure has been a TRIP!
I STILL CAN’T BELIEVE WE DID THIS ON THE SECOND DAY!
hey, i usually don’t join the deciphering part of the fandom either because i think i’m not clever enough or i’m just late, but i started spotting these through the book and i got really excited! so here are the codes i could i find and the translation
Copyright page: "d id qgrp'v zrun lv qhyhu grqh / vr khuh'v vrph wdohv mxvw iru ixq / brx zdqwhg pruh? / brx jrw zlvk! / grq'w vwuhvv-lw'v rqob fdqrq-lvk" (caesar: a fandom’s work is never done / so here’s some tales just for fun / you wanted more? / you got wish!/don’t stress-it’s only canon-ish)
(in bill’s symbol substitution cipher) “wendy’s mom: in another dimension?”
(in bill’s symbol substitution cipher) “dip clones plot revenge?”
Table of contents page: “LVRMO-BOM-JVOSTCID” (i couldn’t figure what this one is about rip. help)
When Pacifica enters the attic: (in bill’s symbol substitution cipher)“to find”
Mr. What’s-His-Face journal page: (in bill’s symbol substitution cipher) “he always has an ace up his sleeve and a face up his sleeve”, “li kh / jhwv pb / idfh, vwdqohb / kdv d vsduh” (caesar: if he gets my face stanley has a spare)
At the paranormal black market first view: (in bill’s symbol substitution cipher) on the bridge: “trembley wuz here”; on the barrel in front of dipper: “where’s your axolotl now?”, on the SOTBE cart’s roof: “join our remembers club”
The Crawlspace journal page: (in bill’s symbol substitution cipher) “puts the bizarre in the bazaar”, “freak’s delivery service”
When Dipper and Pacifica are found: (in bill’s symbol substitution cipher) “while u read this i picked ur pocket"
Pacifica joking with the cyclops: (in bill’s symbol substitution cipher) “do not sell to blendin”
Dipper and Pacifica being chased: (in bill’s symbol substitution cipher) “for a good time call shmebulock”
“Everyone dies” comic page: (in bill’s symbol substitution cipher) “bill lives”
“Weirdmageddon: The Afterweirdness” page: (in bill’s symbol substitution cipher) “extra secrets big and little / if you want to crack the riddle”
Space bus plates: (in bill’s symbol substitution cipher) “i didn’t(?) vote for bill”, “the axolotl is my copilot”
Inside space bus: (in bill’s symbol substitution cipher) "these quarks don’t run"
On the boxes in the bus: (in bill’s symbol substitution cipher) “search”
Jersey Devil magazine page: (in bill’s symbol substitution cipher) “it came from a strange rip and landed in the pine barrens”
Entering the Freak Show tent: (in bill’s symbol substitution cipher) “the web”
Secret cave: (in bill’s symbol substitution cipher) “h. g. wells sucks eggs - blendin”
but again i’m not a clever men.
i couldn’t figure out what is the code on the table, and i see the bigger message contained here is “to find extra secrets big and little if you want to crack the riddle search the web” but i don’t know what to do from here. there’s the message in binary “a spider” too, i thought “the web” could be the internet but maybe it’s some cobweb (or maybe it’s just a joke i don’t get, like a SPY-der)? yeah, feel free to add to this post
but oh shit:
- the Society of the Blind Eye still exists
- something happened to Wendy’s mom. there’s a mystery tub named Mrs. Corduroy, i remember it was confirmed somewhere “wendy’s mom isn’t between us” but that could mean she’s in another dimension? somehow. what happened to her, what did she do/saw?
- blendin got in trouble at the black market
- “BILL LIVES” o h s h i t I INVOKE THE ANCIENT POWER THAT I MAY RETURN bill is a bad bitch you cant kill him i like the theories that bill lives inside stan’s mind
- blendin still has beef with h. g. wells (”not h.g. wells approved”)
the message “for a good time call shmebulock” could be important too or shmebulock is offering an interesting kind of service (eyes emoji). it reminded me of when people had to call a number during the cipher hunt, but i don’t know what to do with this too. and regarding the end of the whole comic, “shmebulock” gotta be a key to a vigenère cipher
SO. MANY. QUESTIONS
gravity falls is real and it will never die
GOD, I’m ALSO stuck on the table code! I’ve tried everything (like the key Inside Job, and so on), but it seems like everyone is having the same issue. Gonna keep trying, though!
