Welcome Home ARG refers to a website that is based on a 90s children’s television show.

The group of people who created the website is called “The Welcome Home Restoration Project”.

They are committed to gathering, repairing, and storing any remaining artifacts of Welcome Home that have been found.

Their collaborative efforts aim to revive the memory of this lost media.

They strive to create a friendly and welcoming community similar to the charming and colorful neighbors in their beloved Home.

The website skyrocketed in popularity after YouTubers like LoeyLane, Inside A Mind, and Night Mind made videos about it.

In this guide, you’ll learn how to play Welcome Home ARG, a project based on a children’s television show with a horror aspect to it.

  3. On each page, inspect its elements, click on links, and highlight different text.

Pages will contain secrets like hidden text, invisible messages, scrambled messages, and more.

One secret is the clownillustration.com/ywxoev URL containing a GIF of an eerie-looking house.

1. Explore the website

There are 6 main pages—Welcome Home, The Neighborhood, About Us, News, Guestbook, and Links.

One of the most interactive pages is “The Neighborhood”.

You can click on the various houses to see who lives in them.

For example, the house in the middle of the neighborhood belongs to Wally, the main character of the show.

By clicking on his house, you’ll be able to read a biography of him.

The overlapped text on the page says, “When I unwrapped the first letter, I felt it. I heard it. Open. Open. Open. I want it out. I’m going to get it out”.
