Black Mirror Bandersnatchhas been out for a few days now and fans of the interactive experience are still uncovering new easter eggs and alternate endings.The path to the main endingswas discovered very early, but apparently there were at least a few extras hidden behind Stefan’s branching choices. One of those endings was particularly mysterious, but the community has managed to crack its true meaning.
Lots of Black Mirror Bandersnatch spoilers ahead…
Although most of the endings to the interactiveNetflixexperience conclude in a review of the game, a reset, or some other conclusive ending; this particular one is a bit different. Instead, this ending finds Stefan back on the bus from the beginning of the game. Instead of pulling out the usual two music choices, he reveals a tape named Bandersnatch. The tape plays some bizarre sounds and then the scene ends. The content is pretty confusing, but it turns out the tape’s sounds are actually data. Some superfans figured out that that running the audio through a ZX Spectrum emulator will result in a QR code.
Scanning that secret code gives viewers access to a secret Tuckersoft webpage full of information on other games and lots ofBlack Mirroreaster eggs. Gamers can alsodownload theNohzdyvedemofrom here, as well.
So far, this path seems to consistently end in the secret ending:

Go back

Flush them

Throw tea over computer
