Rubix stands on a stool in front of an evidence board covered in notes, photos and red string, a hand on his chin. Pinned notes read: Rubix is missing. The clocks are lying. It comes back. Every time. Is it me? Or something around me? Find what's off. I think I've been looking in the wrong place. The Grand Finale, 25 October, 10:00 IST.

The Night Shift.

First he went missing. Then the clocks wouldn't agree. Now things keep breaking in his name, and nothing he fixes holds.

Re: Challenge 003, The Night Shift

Dear builders,

Something is off.

You found me when I was gone. You put my clocks back in order when I couldn't trust my own time. I thought the strange nights were over.

They aren't. Things keep going wrong on my watch, and every time it's my name on them. I didn't do them. I put them right, and by morning they're broken again, the same way, as if nothing I did ever held.

I've checked myself over and over. I don't think it's me. I think something around me is wrong, and I can't see it from where I'm standing.

I need hands, one last time.

This is the Grand Finale. It opens at afterhours.rubixkube.ai on 25 October at 10:00 IST.

Please don't post the steps or the answer while it's open. The last night should be everyone's to solve.

Help me find out what's off.
