Official Tower Unite Easter Egg Thread!

In the latest update an elevator was added behind the lazer tag building that takes you to this room:

EDIT: Pressing the button is like the 1 GMC button that was in GMT but instead of giving 1 unit it just shoots out a bunch of confetti.


EDIT 2: The button also (sometimes) makes screaming and police siren sounds as you’re pressing it. Effect from a better angle:

The button gives you 1 unit now.

Hey I have noticed that the broke radio makes morse code sounding noises can someone decode these?

1 Like

time to learn a new skill…

the sound file for the radio also seems to have someone speaking in reverse.

Well since no one else wanted to look into it i went ahead and did so.

In addition to the sound file for the broken radio i discovered a few other files such as ā€œEvilRadio2ā€ and ā€œBrokenRadio_Helloā€, some of these files appears to be images that have been converted into a radio signal and saved as a sound file.

Playing said files while running an SSTV scanner yielded these results:

BrokenRadio_Hello:

A picture of a catsack with an unusually wide smile

BrokenRadio_EyesUp:

Other than the ā€œEYES UPā€ text i can’t make out what im seeing in this picture
Based on the bottom of the image i would guess it’s an explosion.
Playing the other files didnt yield any result

Im still trying reduce/remove the static from the BrokenRadioLoop_1 radio file so that i can clearly hear the beeps since it sounds like the background noise is drowning out of some of them,

Damn, you beat me to it, I was analyzing those files yesterday.

Why should we be looking up? What is pixel trying to tell us? I might be wrong but the eye looks like the moon covered by a cloud, maybe it’s worth watching the moon?

I might be able to offer some insight into that BrokenRadioLoop_1 sound. From the looks of it, I could guess pretty confidently that it’s audio recorded from an SDR or similar radio. Potentially the University of Twente WebSDR? It sounds really similar to signals I’ve heard in the past on there. As for the signal itself, I imagine it doesn’t have a relation to Tower Unite as it (as I said before) sounds like it was stripped from a WebSDR and sounds like too much of a challenge to clear up to be a part of any ARG. The more interesting ones are the SSTV images imo.
The signal itself sounds like 2 morse code signals layered over either DRM or CIS-128 but I could be wrong on this.

Very interesting to be seeing this kind of stuff pop up in TU, though.

full disclosure: I’ve only recently gained an interest in this kind of stuff and don’t know too much about it so I very well could be wrong, just wanted to offer some things to look at in figuring this out

God damn it I just want a TU ARG. I’d love to find tiny details that build up to a bigger story, like where Rob actually is.

*if Rob actually is

Jokes aside, an ARG would actually be pretty sweet.
(But the radio images are probably just a joke, like with the eye item from previous Halloweens)

You can use the pipes in the chainsaw arena pit to climb out of it and get into the observer’s area…

And one of the things (read: the only interesting one) you can find there is this door…

Which sadly only ends up putting you under the map. I guess it’s not finished?

I also found one guy claiming that being super drunk while holding down the secret 1 unit button results in you hearing some unusual sounds, haven’t tested it myself yet, though.

And I’ve yet to see the confetti’s gun supposed secret reload animation that I remember Mac confirming way back. Maybe I’ll try ā€œfarmingā€ for it once I have more free time on my hands.

EDIT:
Also, this isn’t really an easter egg per se, but you can still find the old fishing salesman model in-game, if you choose it for a custom NPC.

Those screaming, sirens AND alien sounds play combined when you’re sober, too. I’m not sure if it’s a bug or a feature, but sometimes those sounds that guy mentioned actually don’t play at all and you only hear the ambient buzzing noise.

Oh, alright. Thanks for clarification.

It depends on the side from which you press it.
