Secret Code
Crack a coded message: a number code for little kids, a letter shift for middle, a real cryptogram for olders. Answer shows in the app.
Example
SECRET MESSAGE: each letter slid the same number of steps along the alphabet.

Clue: A = M. Work out the rest and decode it.
Answer (in the app): BRAVE KIDS TRY NEW THINGS
🔒 The answer is never printed — it shows in the app (and via the page's QR code).
How to play
- A secret message has been written in code. Each letter stands for a different letter (or number).
- Use the key or the clue letters given to start. Fill in what you can, then use those letters to crack the rest.
- Short words like A, I and THE are good places to start.
- Check the decoded message in the app.
How it works
Short kid-safe messages encoded fresh each day. Ages 4–6 crack a number code (A=1…) with the key printed; 7–9 decode a letter shift and get one clue letter; 10–12 solve a random substitution cipher with two letters given. Decoded message shows in the app only.
What you can set
- Appropriateness dial (kindergarten → adult) — tune it per card. Picks the age band and cipher type.
Age dial (1–20): Content comes from three age sets: dial 1–6 (ages 4–6), 7–10 (7–9), 11+ (10–12).
