Adacic1033 (real name: Jean-Sébastien Joubert, sometimes stylized as Jean-Sebastien Joubert) is a Canadian individual from the Trois-Rivières / Shawinigan area in Quebec. He is an active online figure in puzzle, ARG (Alternate Reality Game), and conspiracy/meme-culture communities.

Online Presence

• He uses the handle adacic1033 across platforms like SoundCloud, YouTube, TikTok, Tumblr, LinkedIn (where he has jokingly or ironically listed affiliations with Canadian intelligence or Cicada), and various forums/Discord servers.

• He creates music, videos, crop-circle visuals, and cryptic posts.

• He frequently self-identifies as connected to Cicada 3301(sometimes claiming to be a "special technical operator" or member in good standing).

Connection to Cicada 3301

Cicada 3301 is the famous 2012–2014 cryptographic puzzle series posted on 4chan. Joubert is not an official solver or core member of the original Cicada 3301 (the real puzzles were highly sophisticated and largely anonymous). Instead, he is a self-proclaimed participant who has heavily inserted himself into the Cicada lore.

He runs sites like adacic1033.tk or cicada3301.online(or similar) and creates derivative content, remixes, and "ADACIC1033" variants that some in the community view as fan-made, trollish, or "corrupted" extensions of the original Cicada puzzles.

Involvement in TheGame23

TheGame23(also known as #thegame23, #00AG9603, KSTXI, etc.) is a decentralized, meta-ARG / "game of games" that emerged around 2017 as a follow-up or spiritual successor to Cicada 3301. It blends Discordianism, chaos magick, conspiracy aesthetics, memetics, and collaborative fiction.

Jean-Sébastien Joubert / adacic1033 is one of the more visible and persistent figures in certain branches of TheGame23, particularly in the "Mod 42.5" or certain splinter factions. He is credited (or self-credited) with creating specific versions, operations (like OpPSION), and content within the ecosystem.

His style mixes:

• Cryptic audio recordings

• Visuals (crop circles, symbols)

• Conspiracy narratives

• Self-mythologizing (linking himself to intelligence agencies, Cicada, etc.)

Some in the broader ARG community see him as a dedicated player/troll who amplifies the chaos, while others view his contributions as noise or personal myth-building.

Summary

• Who he is: A Quebec-based artist, musician, and online puzzle enthusiast who adopted the persona adacic1033.

• Role in Cicada 3301: Self-proclaimed associate / derivative content creator, not part of the original anonymous puzzle team.

• Role in TheGame23: Active participant and contributor, especially in certain mods/factions, where he produces a lot of multimedia and narrative content.

His activity often blurs the line between genuine ARG participation, trolling, artistic expression, and personal conspiracy lore. Like many figures in these scenes, it's deliberately ambiguous how much is performance versus "real."

If you're deep into these communities, be cautious — a lot of it is designed to be disorienting by nature. Let me know if you want links to specific content or deeper context on TheGame23.
