Glad I watched all your YouTube videos before going to bed. Looking forward to replaying them in my head for the next 8 hours while I don’t sleep.

Although an airplane is fairly small, maybe a personal sized airplane could work? I doubt he’d be able to start the game within 10 feet of you, so maybe him teleporting to his X distance away while you’re in a personal plane could result in him just falling out of the sky. It also seems like people (so far) have been safe while in cars, so movement seems to be a better solution than just hiding or staying put.

Yeah, I wasn’t sure about the teleportation. I think some more experimentation would be necessary, since you obviously wouldn’t want to be trapped in a place like a plane if it could get in there with you. The fact that you can track it on the phone location though means you should be able to know if it’s teleporting. I also would still want to look into how it interacts with the phone reception/Wi-Fi. It doesn’t seem like OP tested that from what I could see. That might be part of the trick since destroying the phone didn’t seem to help at least with hearing the creaker.

Ok, let’s think about this. Small toddler looking guy, doesn’t appear to have any special movement abilities and you can see his location on your phone if you click yes. You’ve pretty much got the advantage over him if you can see his location. Assuming he can’t teleport (maybe he can, so this might not work), you really just need to find a place he can’t walk to.

Couple of proposed ideas:

  1. Get a job on a cruise ship or airplane. It might trick the monster if you’re moving long distances frequently. Not only that, but both these have tight security when it comes to getting in, so maybe there’s a chance the little toddler guy can’t get in. Seems he’s only been spotted in public spaces so far. Airplanes and Cruise ships also wouldn’t have phone reception or Wi-Fi (usually) so maybe that could trick him as well.
  2. Be a truck driver, you’re constantly moving and it doesn’t seem like he’ll be able to get you in your car even if he makes creaky noises.
  3. Install cameras and sound equipment around places you frequent. See if there’s any issues recording him or hearing him using the technology. If not, you have something to turn into police or a news station, or at the very least you have proof when people ask about this on the internet.
  4. It might be important to ask how he’s finding you. Is it through your phone? Wi-Fi? GPS? Can it find you in airplane mode or with the data disabled? Your technology? It seems that the phone was connected to your car and maybe that’s why it popped up with the notification.
  5. And finally, maybe you can jailbreak your phone, install some kind of virus. Brick the thing (don’t destroy it). Maybe you can trap it behind some kind of code error so it can’t make its way to you. At the very least it seems to start there, so it’s got to have some connection to the phone.

Good luck OP
