Welcome Home is an unsettling alternate reality website based on a children's cartoon from the late 1960s. The site is supposed to be an archive of old episodes, stories, and behind-the-scenes looks, and while that may sound fun, the more you dive into it, the more sinister it becomes. There are hidden secrets stashed away for you to find, taking the lore to new, terrifying depths. Here's a list of all the discovered secrets in Welcome Home ARG.

When reading through the Welcome Home website, you'll notice the letters Y, O, X, W, V, and E scattered around on different pages. This seems like nothing at first, but when made into a Welcome Home URL in various orders, some creepy secrets appear.
/ywxoev—Opens a new tab with a GIF of different eyes scrolling over a character's house. The word "OPEN" is written underneath in scrawled handwriting.
/woxyve—Opens a new tab with several images of the 1960s Welcome Home real show's script layered over each other. A GIF of all the characters' faces plays in the middle, with it ending on just a block of red.
/voywex—Opens up a new tab, with the following message typed out automatically: "Hello. You're there. I can't see you. Do you see me? Then stay quiet." If you screenshot the page and edit the brightness, you can see Wally's face, and if you right-click the page and open the image in a new tab, you get a GIF.
/eovwxy—Opens a new tab that displays a video of a TV with white noise on its display. At 16:13, 18:22, and 22:15 minutes, sound interferences can be heard, and the screen zooms in and stops. At 41:06, a pair of eyes appear on the screen.

When on the Welcome Home! page, you'll see a scrollable gallery of photos near the bottom. The fourth picture in it, a drawing of Frank and Sally building a snowman, hides a secret. When you open the image in editing software and manipulate the brightness, exposure, and contrast, a hidden message appears over the "We'll Be Right Back!" text at the bottom of the image. It reads, "May Your Home Be."

While the About Us page looks like one you'd see on a typical website at first, it becomes creepy really fast once you scroll down to the FAQ section. The answer to "How did you begin your research into Welcome Home?" sounds natural at first, but it's when you highlight the blank space after it that things take a sinister turn.

Midway through the FAQ section, you'll see two GIFs of Frank's spinning head. Take note of the colorful one. The spines on the books to the left of the character read, "HELLO," "It's You Know Who?," "I'm Your Neighbor," "Do You Think About Me? You Do," and "I've Felt You."

Further down in the FAQ, a question asks, "Why did you make this website?" and, instead of a normal response, the answer is jumbled and difficult to read.

Another whited-out message is hidden in the FAQ under the "Do you know how many episodes of Welcome Home there are?" question. Highlight the end of the sentence, and "The numbers are so hard to read. Sometimes I can't see them" will be readable.

The Neighborhood! is another page that looks innocent at first; you click on a Welcome Home character's house, and it brings up biographical information about them. Though, if you're a fan of Five Nights at Freddy's, you may get familiar vibes. And rightly so, because there are links hidden on the page that, when clicked, open up some seriously eerie content.

The second link on the page is on the yellow path directly below Wally's house in the center of the street. Click it, and a new tab will open in your browser, displaying a black page with a terrifying image of a giant eye looking through a window at Wally. Note how the URL is called "so-below" which is a reference to the second verse of the Emerald Tablet ("as above, so below"), a set of Hermetic text from the eighth century.

If you view The Neighborhood! page on a mobile device, Wally's house will be levitating above a large black abyss, which could be a nod to the Emerald Tablet verse from the URL.
