I’m on an ARG kick right now, based largely on the success that I’ve found with a couple of students and Cathy’s Book. We’ve really enjoyed puzzling our way through that book. Puzzles, the literacy of ARG’s, are tricky for me, but lots of fun. We took a look at this great cypher tutorial (free registration required) today, checking out some cyphers, one of the more common types of ARG puzzles. One of my students created her own. Want to take a stab at solving it?
Here’s a hint: We won’t fib you, to solve this puzzle, skip forward twice, and then walk backwards from there.
233 – 987 – 30368 – 28657, 59025 – 233 – 987 – 13 – 610 – 89393 – 4181 – 377 – 28657, 4181 – 34, 21 – 6765 – 28657, 89393 – 28657 – 34 – 21
Good luck! First one to solve it correctly wins a free one year subscription to this blog. Post your answers in the comments.
I teach gifted kids (K-6) and have started using literature as jumping off points for curriculum. We’ve read some great books in the last three years and I’ve love this new addition after 20 years in the classroom. Both Cathy’s Book and CypherStudio look really intriguing but I don’t think the content would be appropriate for my younger kids. Have you heard of other books like Cathy’s for younger readers? It kinda reminds me of Treasure Trove and The Alchemist of Dar. Thanks
