Challenge 1 uses a simple Caesar Shift cipher with
a shift of 1 characters.
By deciphering the message
UFO Y UFO
, students
should reveal a simple sum
TEN x TEN
.
To exit the room, students must enter the answer
‘
100
’ using the rotational dials on the wall
(See opposite)
Challenge 1 – Caesar Shift Cipher
CHALLENGE 2
Challenge 2 uses a Pigpen cipher. In order to solve
this challenge, students must stand on each of
the three coloured blocks and look down to
reveal each of the three hidden clues.
Challenge 2 – Pigpen Cipher
To exit the room, students must enter the answer ‘
BAD
’ using the
rotational dials on the wall.

Challenge 3 – Transposition Cipher
Challenge 3 uses a Transposition cipher where
characters have simply been reversed.
By reversing each of the messages in each room,
students should reveal the following code:
Ciphertext
Plaintext

EN
.
To exit the room, students must enter the answer
‘
2042
’ using the rotational dials on the wall
(See opposite)
CHALLENGE 4
Challenge 4 – Substitution Cipher
Challenge 4 uses a simple Substitution cipher
where each characters has been substituted with
its numerical position in the alphabet.
By reversing each of the messages in each
room, students should reveal the following
code:

To exit the room, students must place the piece of paper
containing the password ‘

Challenge 5 – Substitution Cipher
Challenge 5 uses a Substitution cipher where
each number corresponds to a symbol in the
periodic table.
By substituting each of the numbers with the
corresponding symbol in the periodic table,
students should reveal the message:
Use Banana
Ciphertext
92 34 56 11 11
Plaintext
U Se Ba Na Na
To exit the room, students must enter the word
‘BANANA’ using the rotational dials on the wall.
Explore Cipher Cove and tackle five cryptographic challenges involving different ciphers such as Caesar Shift, Pigpen, Transposition, Substitution, and Periodic Table. Put your problem-solving skills to the test by deciphering hidden clues and codes to progress through each challenge and ultimately unlock the room.
