A secret ending to Black Mirror: Bandersnatch has been discovered, leading viewers to a playable version of one of the film’s games.
The interactive film, which was released on Netflix just after Christmas, has five official endings according to streaming service, although fans have discovered a whole host of different combinations and paths.
The Wrap now reports that there is a secret post-credits scene in which we see Stefan (Fionn Whitehead) back on the bus he took to visit Tuckersoft at the beginning of the film.
However, while previous versions offered the choice either to listen to a tape of the Thompson Twins or Now 2, the new scene sees Stefan pull out a tape of the Bandersnatch game he created.
The tape plays several high-pitched sounds before the scene ends. However, fans have figured out that the sounds actually represent data for a ZX Spectrum computer, the same kind Stefan builds the game on.
When the audio is run through a ZX Spectrum emulator, it produces a QR code that links to a hidden page on the promotional Tuckersoft site created for the film.
The page includes covers for previously unseen Tuckersoft games that, like the games “Nohzdyve” and “Metl Hedd”, are all references to previous Black Mirror episodes.
A page for “Nohzdyve” includes a downloadable version of the game, although a ZX Spectrum emulator is required to play it.
The sequence to trigger the secret ending is as follows:
