Game Theory: I Solved The Wilbur Soot ARG... And It Only Took 3 Years!

If you know Wilbur Soot, then you likely know about his infamously unsolvable ARG. For those NOT in the know, it's time to catch up. Now, this video may seem a little late, but this was indeed a hard one to solve. Yet, I think I did just that. Theorists, we are about to break down this titan of an ARG piece by piece to show you how I SOLVED the Editor Wilbur Soot ARG.

Special thanks to the community around the ARG who have done an incredible job keeping track of Wilbur's crazy antics, especially:
The Editors and Mods: FlaredAverage, Bruce C, MythicalSheep, Christian, Idan, and Inky
As well as: The Wilbur ARG Discord Server, /r/LincolnshirePoacher, /r/SootHouseClues, Alspal, Azure, JackSucksAtLife, Wilbur and Kai.

Wilbur: Don’t try to solve the arg, it’s nearly unsolvable.
Matpat: That sign can’t stop me because I can’t read!

[crumb.crumblet.S.crumbington]

omg i literally did not even know there was a ARG i just thought it was some bangin music

[victo]

we got matpat predicting wilburs' violent behaviours and abuse before gta 6

[Dusk__]

MatPat can’t even retire before Wilbur got cancelled 😭

[thatvibekid]

Wilbur: dont waste time solving it
MatPat: And I took that personally...

[PolarisPost]

I've always interpreted the story as Wilbur being the one who died in the river, and his whole character through the ARG is just his ghost/revenant self trying to make sense of what's happened.

[Mcro.]

That thumbnail has a different meaning now 💀

[IlianLivshitz]

Matpat: wilbor will be back on the channel!

Me after 2 years: i see no second wilbor

[TheRealGuywithoutaMustache]

To think that this whole ARG took MatPat 3 years to figure out. At least it's still faster than me trying to solve a Rubik's Cube.

Wilbur makes amazing storylines

Also Wilbur-“eats Sand”

[logannearhood]

Mat always makes the community feel like our own FBI and it's great, were all investigators in a massive mystery designed for the challenge, it's a beautiful thing

Is this the same Wilbur who made the song: "Karen please come back I miss the kids?" cause I literally practiced that song and played it at college for laughs.

[TableTurnip]

Mat: “It took only 3 years”
Me when completing my homework: “You and me both”

[ScxrchedOasis]

Fun fact: today is the anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe’s death. Coincidentally, some of his most famous poems were recited by Wilbur in the video.

I only came to the “newest” comments just to see the comments about the drama. I bet you came here for the same reason.

[cheese]

Wilbur: Don’t bother trying to solve it
Matpat: How about no ❤️

[sole]

Wilbur: " dont try to figure out the arg.
Matpat: how about ignore that.

[itsmeagain]

Aint no way matpat predicted somethings about wilbur 💀

[dioyzqt]

[thebunnygamer]

Me: *has no clue what's going on*
Matpat: "You know there has to be more to this, right?!"
Me: OF COURSE
