Kryptos

Can you crack the code?

A Krpytos is code made up from letters and numbers, the clue for the code is the number, and SWAT7D would be Snow White and the 7 Dwarves. You pull the score card from the box and then push out the slipcase to the first mark on the top card, this reveals the code. If you cannot solve the code with this information you push the slipcase forward to to the next mark and see the first clue. All in all there are two clues, the second one is a picture, and then the solution is given; depending on the number of clues you needed you score 3, 2 or 1 point and place the card at the corresponding side of the score card, face-down. You play five or ten cards and try to top your own best score.

If you want to play a game for two, you play five or ten cards following the rules of the solo game and place them face-down at the score card. Then you note your total score and the other player solves the same cards; if you achieve the better score you win. You can also pose the questions to each other and alternate in solving the puzzles.

In a game with more than two players you place the slipcase in the middle of the table and slide out the first code. Each player can make exactly one suggestion; then you slide out the first clue and all players make another suggestion, either the same one or a new on; this is repeated for the second clue, the picture. Then the solution is revealed and the player who called out the correct solution first is given the card. After ten rounds you win with most cards.

ADH24H - difficult, isn’t it? Maybe the picture of the hourglass helps? An ideal game for travelling or for queue times!
