How to Use the Decoder

The seven clues given on Wednesdays and Saturdays are numbered 1–7 and have seven corresponding colors, shown above. The answer to each puzzle should have provided you a four-digit number, totaling 28 digits altogether. For example, Question #1, issued on July 1, has a yellow highlighted box in which you place your four-digit answer. Transfer those four digits to the yellow box above, placing one number in each of the four spaces provided next to “Numerical Answer.” When entering numbers, ignore all black dots (•) that occur between some spaces. These divide the puzzle into words and do not pertain to the numbers you are entering.

Once all 28 numerical answer spaces have been filled, move to “Cipher Choices.” The Cipher List Sheet contains six ciphers labeled Cipher A–Cipher F. These ciphers transform your numerical answers into “Alpha Final Answers.” For each color, you are given two possible ciphers. Choose the correct one and words will appear. Follow the same step for all seven puzzles to learn where to find your first location. Proceed to the location, and the race has begun!
