# THE GAME THM WRITEUP
Hey, today I am going to take you through **The Game**.

Below is the information we are given by the creator of the room.

"Cipher has gone dark, but intel reveals he’s hiding critical secrets inside Tetris, a popular video game. Hack it and uncover the encrypted data buried in its code.

This challenge was originally a part of the Hackfinity Battle 2025 CTF Event."

First, you have to download the Task Files

In your terminal, move to the directory where you saved the task files.
It is common for TryHackMe to have their flags in the format `THM{...}` right?

So all we have to do is to use the `grep` command to find the flag.
In the directory with the task files, type this:
`strings Tetrix.exe | grep "THM"`
The above command simply outputs all the strings with the word `THM` regardless of the case. You will only have to scroll and you will get the flag in plain sight.

Thank you, I hope you have learnt.
Have a good day
