I'll search for information about "Project 1356" to provide context for this market.#### Resolution Criteria

This market resolves YES if the final reveal of Project 1356 on January 1, 2026 contains a rickroll (a video or link redirecting to Rick Astley's "Never Gonna Give You Up" or similar bait-and-switch prank). Resolution will be determined by checking Armin Mehdizadeh's Instagram account (@project.1356) or his official social media channels for the final post/video. The market resolves NO if the reveal is anything other than a rickroll.

Background

Armin Mehdizadeh has been counting down from 1356 daily since 2022, gaining millions of social media followers. The project's exact purpose remains secret, with Mehdizadeh confirming "all of the theories are wrong," with followers eagerly awaiting the promised big reveal on January 1, 2026. MrBeast even offered Mehdizadeh $1 million to reveal what he's counting down to, which Mehdizadeh refused.

Considerations

Given that Mehdizadeh has explicitly stated all public theories are wrong and maintained secrecy despite significant financial incentives, the actual reveal could be anything from a moral lesson to an elaborate prank. A rickroll would fit the pattern of internet culture pranks and the mysterious nature of the project, though it remains highly speculative.
