The Easter egg puzzles that are hiding inside video games

Brad Hill knew what the jumbled letters represented, but he had no idea where they would lead. A handful of players had started finding strange things in Trials HD, a game released in 2009 by Finnish studio RedLynx in which you drive stunt bikes over outlandish obstacle courses. The mathematical patterns and cryptic messages discovered in the game's more hard-to-reach places hinted at something beyond high scores. One player uploaded a screenshot of some brass plaques he had found strewn on the ground after crashing his bike through a trapdoor. They were covered in what looked like a coded message and the player wanted to know what it meant.
