This challenge was developed by Hybriona Technologies and is specifically designed to help you build and sharpen your reconnaissance muscles.
The challenge relies entirely on OSINT (Open Source Intelligence), which is just a legal way of using publicly available data across the internet to track down information or in this case: THE ANSWER.
This is pure digital detective work, so use the internet wisely.
How to play:
- Comment under this post what you think the answer is and explain how you found it.
- If you need a nudge in the right direction, just comment HINT.
- Official answer will be revealed in the next Project Void Challenge.
The challenge starts below this line of text.

I am repeating again - “Be an opportunist”.
Do online research whenever you can. Nothing is stopping you.
For this puzzle, you need to find the name of a place, official name.
Read closely, I need an official name of the place. No compromise with that!!
I’ll wait for your response while I dive into a book on
Samuel F. Breese’s inventions.

Wheeler Island.
Inside the posts image, there's a line of text reading "YJGGNGT KUNCPF" this challenge requires a Caesar Cipher Shift to understand the line of text. In the image it hint at SHIFT. 002. By using an online Caesar Cipher Shift of 2 on "YJGGNGT KUNCPF", you get Wheeler Island which is the answer to the challenge.
PS: I'll be introducing Python Challenges as well.
