* ArcNumber: Camdrome seems to have a thing for the number "11"- Camdrome had selected 11 executioners to help him at the start of the game. There were 11 people who received an image from Camdrome in the mail, with 11 specific pictures needed to form a full poster image. The number pops up multiple times in the source code for Camdrome's own website signifying important information. The Ben Richardson account ended up making 11 posts before he got caught, and all of those posts were on the 11th of July.

* CrypticConversation: A lot of his answers are very cryptic and vague, and much of his replies come in a coded fashion featuring simple sentences, if any words at all. Later on in the game a trapped player, named [[Film/TheRunningMan Ben Richardson]] using Camdrome's account was only able to discuss their situation through the use of Website/YouTube video titles.

* NonAnswer: When asked if he was indeed at PAX 2014, he simply said "i am everywhere". He later responded to a question about where answers could be found with "in your heart". The latter is refering to the fact that followers could determine if their questions had been answered positively or negatively by Camdrome's use of hearts on tweets, [[{{Pun}} literally having answers be found in a heart.]]

''Camdrome'' is an AlternateRealityGame that began during 2013 when a mysterious, bloody computer appeared at a booth at PAX. The computer, which was Camdrome itself, featured video of what was supposedly a live stream featuring people being murdered by a man in a doll's mask. From there, Camdrome focused heavily on Website/{{Twitter}}, with several bursts of activity after periods of silence.
