How It Works

Step 1: After purchase, you'll receive two automatic emails – one with your ready-to-print PDF with a generic secret message ("A ship in harbor is safe, but that is not what ships are built for - John A. Shedd"), and another from Corjl giving you access to edit the message online for 12 months.

Step 2: Customize your secret message if you want! Change it to campsite instructions ("Meet at the fire pit at sunset for s'mores"), a treasure location, an inspirational quote, or any message you choose.

Step 3: Print the Secret Message and Decoder Cards at home or at a professional printer. Hide the Decoder Cards around your campsite, playground, or outdoor area.

Step 4: Give players the Secret Message! They must search for and find all the hidden Decoder Cards to crack the code. The Decoder Cards reveal which letters correspond to the symbols in the secret message.

How the Decoder Card System Works

The secret message appears as symbols or coded text. Each Decoder Card shows which letter matches each symbol. Players must find all the Decoder Cards hidden around your location to decode the complete message. It's like a cipher hunt combined with a scavenger hunt!
