When participants went to http://whysoserious.com/mausoleum, a safe was shown.

Clicking on the safe yielded a close-up shot of the dial and a note, which read:

You sure do know how to put a smile on a guy's face! Now your task is simple.

Your job is to find a way into the evidence vault.

Our fine friends in blue have collected something that surely doesn't belong to them.

Blood splatters partially cover the letters E I T M O R F F F A T Y. Rearranging these letters results in the phrase "Time for Taffy." In the A1 page of The Gotham Times, it is mentioned that Maroni lieutenant Johnny "Taffyface" Linata was killed at 7:38AM.

When the participant changes their computer clock to read 7:38AM, the safe can be opened, revealing a note rewarding their creativity:

Nice work thinking outside the box.

A clown should never take anything at face value. Particularly if it involves rules.

Put your feet up, take a little rest. I'll be in touch in a few days, and then I'll have another little job for you.

After clicking on the previous note, several items in evidence are revealed.

The connection of these items to various bits of information given in The Gotham Times is still being established.
