We are given an image with a purple background and random text. A bit guessy here, but the text bswmrsvpjqtlbebwgawpnouxmtlpgjwfwbjswyj was a vigenere cipher, decoded using dcode’s auto key finder, gives: threeoneeighttwotwoeighteightfourtwoone (3182288421)
From here, I went down a spiral. I first found the restaurant of the associated phone number.
However, after checking all the associated social media, google reviews, nothing turned up.
We were missing one thing, and that was the image name of the provided file. It was “a paper football player” At first, I thought there was a popular “paper” football player that is associated with the restaurant, but that was not it.
In fact, the correct answer was the fact that paper football is played by “flicking” a paper. It clicked me, the company “Bayou Soul” most likely has a flickr account and an image with the flag!
Going to their account shows us the flag!
