## Key points

- Mount Chiliad’s mural has kept GTA 5 fans investigating for over a decade.
- Some clues point to the UFO, but the egg and jetpack remain unexplained.
- The article says GTA 6 should include a similarly enduring mystery.

## Summary

GTA 5’s Mount Chiliad mural has fuelled fan theories for more than a decade, despite players solving some of its clues. The article argues that the unresolved mystery shows how an unexplained puzzle can keep a game’s community engaged, and that GTA 6 could benefit from a similarly lasting secret.

The game’s UFO appears atop Mount Chiliad after 100% story completion, at 3 a.m. in cloudy weather; players believe the mural’s symbols point to it and other secrets. Fans have linked its five X marks to hidden petroglyphs and 50 spaceship parts, while the jetpack and cracked egg drawings remain disputed. The Chiliad Mystery subreddit began on 24 September 2013, and theories about the egg include links to the Epsilon cult, a Los Santos fountain or an underwater UFO.
