    31:18 THAT’S ME!!! It had always been a bucket list item to collaborate with Watsky, but even just being a small part of this puzzle and being able to collaborate with the community when I got to has been AMAZING. The box remains my first most prized possession and I’ll forever be in disbelief that I got to experience something like this. Thank you to the Discord Team, Watsky, and everyone else that made this possible!

    How the fuck have I been a fan since Cardboard Castles and never realized this was a thing? What a beautiful idea with wonderful implementation. When I daydeream about being a globetrotting artist, this is the kind of thing I picture myself doing for shits and giggles. Major thanks for filming the incarnation of a daydream.

    I got to watch this all go down through the discord and wished I had the time and mental drive to help out but couldn't manage to keep up with the amazing group of solvers. Watching them solve things was so freaking cool to witness from the sidelines. The crossword puzzle during the epic livestream was fun to assist in when possible too. Your effort to help build a sense of community and friendship through this epic puzzle was certainly accomplished. I will be looking forward to any and all creative endeavors you share with us in the future, George!

    I've been a silent listener and watcher of your work for over a decade, and although I felt a bit disappointed I didn't attempt to get into this treasure hunt, my only real regret was never seeing you live the one time I could have when you came to my hometown of Saskatoon. Your music has helped me through some tough times and although I don't listen to it all the time, it has continued to resurface every now and again and I'm always so happy when it does.
    You have truly created and accomplished things beyond (probably) 99% of other artists on this planet with how you've woven so many different mediums together into such elaborate, beautiful, and raw works through both your own talent but also with your many, many different collaborators. It's sad to see this video finally bringing a finality to the Watsky era for you, but I hope to see and hear what George does in the future. I don't put this lightly when I saw you're a truly one of a kind artist who seems fairly ahead of his time with his approach to his art.
    Much love and peace to you, George Watsky. ✌

    It was a pleasure helping organize on the fan side and seeing this fucking happen. I had to step back (Forced, health, and I apologize everyone who may have worried.) but the months of time I put in, wouldn't change for the WORLD. The entire community is a gem, greatful to be a part of it, can't wait to see us all thrive and vibe into the future. Handing off that first puzzle piece in Vancouver is gonna be a cherished and hilarious memory. Kick life's ass, Watsky!
    Thanks for the Fun, and countless great times to look back on.

I wish I was smart enough to have participated in this because I believe you’re genuinely one of the most creative artists out there and the way you interact with your community, I don’t know if anybody else is doing anything even remotely close to this.

    You know what, now that i’m thinking about it, when i was at your first complaint show of the tour in Nashville in 2019, you signed the poster with your signature ‘19 and a triangle at the end. I didn’t know the true significance of the triangle until now and i am extremely grateful to be in the trial stages of your long journey.
    I loved watching you draw on your livestreams i would leave them on all the time. I cannot wait to see what you have in store for us.

    I just recently discovered your stuff through my partner a few months ago and have been bingeing everything from Nothing like the First Time to Intention. The more I learned about your albums, the meaning behind the songs, and how you started as a slam poet, the more inspired I was. I began to be less ashamed to be who I was and in turn, it helped deliver me from a creative rut. Thank you for making a documentary about your treasure hunt so I can enjoy it despite being new here. I also really enjoy painting while jamming out to your incredible works. (Currently Undermine, 'THE TRUTH', and Gummy Bear Hundredaire have been on repeat) Thank you so much for not only being creative, but for putting it out there for people like me to find.
