Warning: Spoilers ahead for "Westworld."
The INSIDER Summary:
• HBO has created a clever "Westworld" marketing site.
• The site is filled with new information about the park and Easter eggs.
• Thanks to fans online and our own digging, we rounded up the best of them.
The mind-bending new series "Westworld" seems to bring up new questions with every episode, exploring the
synthetic Western theme park as well as the mysterious company running it, Delos.
Perhaps in an effort to provide some answers — along with even more mysteries — HBO and the "Westworld" team have crafted a market website titled "Discover Westworld." We scoured the site and found the most significant pieces of information any "Westworld" fan should know.
Scroll down for a look at the coolest parts of "Discover Westworld."
This is what the homepage of "Discover Westworld" looks like.
The three main sections you should explore are as follows:
• The "ACCESS" text box in the top right lets you type in codes which lead to Easter eggs.
• You can enter your email in the center box, and begin to receive "park updates." Each of these emails will also contain more information and Easter eggs.
• Finally you can chat with "Aeden," a chatbot designed to proved information and (you guessed it) more Easter eggs for fans.
While exploring, pressing the "shift" key will trigger a terrifying glitch.
Be careful as you explore — holding down the shift key while you are on the "Discover Westworld" site will start a glitch loop. The voice of Peter Abernathy — Dolores' father from the pilot — says: "You should go. Leave. Can't you see? Hell is empty, and all the devils are here."
Creepy, right? The site is telling fans that all is not well in Westworld.
The Aeden chatbot has a lot of coded answers.
When you ask about Arnold — the original co-founder of the park who died years ago after an "accident"— the bot seems to reveal more than it should.
"Not much is known about Arnold, but a closely-guarded rumor is that he partnered with Dr. Ford years ago in the early days of the park," Aeden replies. "He and we hosts had a special connection ... Why don't we talk about somethi—"
Then the message is cut off and an error sequence comes up. The phrase "Hell is empty" is hidden among the text.
The emphasis on a special connection between Arnold and the hosts may have something to do with the narrative happening in the show. Is Arnold somehow responsible for the robots who are beginning to gain consciousness?
