UPDATE: Netflix Unveils Another 'Black Mirror: Bandersnatch' Easter Egg
Another twist.
UPDATE: Netflix has revealed a new Easter Egg that fans might have originally missed from its Black Mirror: Bandersnatch episode. This alternative includes choosing the same option twice. If you’re looking to unlock the new scene, you need to pick up the family photo for a second time over the book. By doing so, Stefan then will be visited by the Bandersnatch author Jerome F Davies in his dreams. Davies will tell him to pick up the book instead.
Notably, Charlie Brooker’s interactive episode took about one year to create, which pushed back season 5. On the project, Brooker shared: “It was very challenging at every stage. There were points where, in working stuff out, it got like trying to do a Rubik’s Cube in your head. Then you’ve got the actors having to keep track of where their character is, bearing in mind that the previous morning they have played themselves in a different timeline.”
think you've seen everything there is to see in bandersnatch? try picking up the family photo, ~twice~

Last week, Netflix confirmed that the fifth season of Black Mirror will debut in 2019 and that its highly applauded interactive Bandersnatch episode is, in fact, a standalone film. Now, it has been discovered that beyond the five official endings that have been confirmed by Netflix, there is actually a secret ending that can be unlocked.
In addition, there is apparently a playable game that can be derived from the final scene which shows Stefan (played by Fionn Whitehead) taking the bus route from the start of the film. You may remember that there are numerous high-pitched sounds that play throughout the scene. It has been reported that these noises actually represent data from a ZX Spectrum computer, which Stefan can be observed building in the film.
If this audio is run through an actual ZX Spectrum emulator, a QR code is generated. The link from the QR then directs to a link where users can find a promotional Tuckersoft site created specifically for the film. On the site, there are references to other games that are discussed by the fictional gaming company’s development team, which includes “Nohzdyve” and “Metl Hedd.” Users will then find that a page for “Nohzdyve” actually includes a downloadable version of the game. However, you will need a ZX Spectrum emulator in order to play it.
To unlock the secret ending, you will have to follow the exact sequence below:
