Life is like a big number countdown. You never know what you’re gonna get. That’s the premise of the social media experiment known as ‘Project 1356’ that’s been ongoing for quite some time now on TikTok and Instagram. Every day the humungous number that started from Day 1356 will go down by a single digit, seemingly counting down to some event. Today we will explain the Project 1356 countdown.
Created by Tiktoker @arminmehdiz, the stunt has whipped people up into a frenzy aiming to guess just what will happen when the foretold day 0 will arrive. There is little to no information online about what the intention of the countdown is so we are left to simply guess.
Theories online range from Project 1356 being a social experiment to see how people can carried away by manufactured hype to the announcement of another large project that @arminmehdiz has been developing in the meantime.
When did Project 1356 start?
There’s a slight shroud of mystery over the exact start date due to the oldest live video on the TikTok being 20th April 2022, displaying day 1352. It can be assumed that previous days (1353, 1354, 1355 and 1356) were either deleted or possibly removed for breaking TikTok’s terms and conditions. In any case, if the project truly started at day 1356 then the start date of Project 1356 was 16th April 2022. Since this date the countdown has been gradually reducing consistently by 1 number a day.
When does Project 1356 end?
Assuming the project continues to follow the trend of reducing by one number a day then the end date will be 1st January 2026. Make sure to set your calendars to the date to see what’s in store for when the prophetic day arrives!
What happens when Project 1356 reaches day 1?
The boring answer is that nobody knows. However, we can speculate! Armin has a YouTube channel with some interesting lifestyle videos such as ‘I slept on the floor for 100 days’ and ‘6 reasons why you are not motivated’. It appears that Armin is a motivated individual that’s enjoying exploring the possibilities of creating content and exploring ideas.
Perhaps Project 1356 is simply another one of these ideas. Something that was thought up on a whim but quickly snowballed into virality. If this were to be the case there may not currently be a solid answer for what day 0 will bring to us, even to creator Armin. What is clear, however, is that Armin has gained an enormous interest into what he shall announce.
Maybe it’s a joke. Maybe it’s an experiment. But in the end, Armin is likely to be cooking something up for the grand finale. My guess is that it’s going to be the announcement of something he’s been working on for the last few years. But until the day arrives in 2026, it remains a secret.
