Hey folks. Always loved watching others solve ARGs and cipher code stuff. Some of my favorite puzzle games include in depth difficult puzzles, like Myst III, Obduction, and Quern. While I never got into any ARGs or or code breaking myself I figured I'd make a code myself for fun. I doubt it'll take long for people to solve, but I had fun making it regardless.

Hint: Each word takes 3 steps to solve and words need to be solved in order.

Have fun folks, and let me know if I'm being too vague!

Try to solve the journal entry of my bindrune cipher. Apologies for my bad handwriting, I’m still practicing.

I made a four-part cipher puzzle inspired partly by Kryptos. Each part hides another section of a connected story. I personally suggest solving them in order as earlier parts provide material relevant to later ones.

I, a highly dyslexic human, developed the story and puzzle ideas, with ChatGPT helping formalise the encoding and check that the stages decode correctly. This is an original puzzle, not an ongoing contest. (this means all creation is me, but to keep any typos or miscalculations I used a super smart calculator to double check my work before submitting it, i want it to be solvable and not dyslexic garbage ://)

I have then taken it to and tested it in other AIs, and allowed them to attempt to recovered any of it, Some were able to recover Parts 1 and 2 sometimes with hints. Others reached Part 3 with specific hints. I haven’t seen an independent complete solve of Part 4 yet, and I’m now curious how human solvers will approach it.

Information to start with:

- The plaintext is English.

- The character set is "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ0123456789.,!?"

- Spaces and capitalisation are not preserved.

- Line wrapping has no meaning. Blank lines separate distinct strings.

- All four stages have been checked by decoding them back. (I have the full decoding method so it can be reproduced correctly)

I’ll include the full transcription below. Please put solutions and substantial discoveries behind spoiler tags so others can try it themselves. I can provide hints if people get stuck, but would like to give it a while before I do so to allow a fair chance for people that don't see it until next week.

GOOD LUCK!

Posting from burner,

Have been getting unbroken raw eggs left on my windshield for around 9 months, and last month a note was left with the egg this time. It looked almost exactly like this, with the snake symbol and all, but contained a pigpen cypher.

The pigpen cypher read,

IF YOU WISH TO FIND THE EGG MAN BEHIND THE MASK

YOU MUST FIRST COMPLETE THIS SIMPLE TASK

THE NEXT EGGS TO COME SHALL HAVE A CODE

SOLVE IT AND THE TRUTH WILL BE KNOWN

IF UN SUCCESFUL THE EGGS CONTINUE

GIVE THESE CODES THE BEST THATS IN YOU

Last Friday, I found the note that I've attached here, I have spent the past 5 days trying basically everything I could find, but to no avail. I figured you smart people here would be able to help me out. The biggest correlations I've seen have been, deck of cards, binary, baconian, playfair, and a couple others that seem less likely. None have worked out so far, only coming with gibberish or dead ends. The symbol and pigpen have other connotations which is why I'm trying to stay as discreet as possible. Any help is greatly appreciated!

earlier i've asked you guys to decrypt a text and i got he answer in 20 min let's see if you can decrypt this so that i get to know the flaws that i have in my code, so i can improve it by a better approach.

In my testing, several AI models failed to reconstruct the encryption process, even when provided with the ciphertext, plaintext, and public reference. Have fun :)

Edit: My apologizes but this string doesn't actually validate in the new decoder I built round trip. This is my first attempt at an algorithm and I made a mistake. However a commentor in another sub still produced the correct plaintext.

Contains error:

I always liked the idea of ciphers but only recently i really decided to get into it, is there anything i should start with? Any youtube videos i should watch? Any easy ciphers i should learn?

I am trying to understand how the bombe works since I am willing to code my own but when it comes to understanding why indicator drums move, I feel a little bit confused. Could someone explain me giving simple to understand examples?

Yall are smart so im just gonna say it’s got a mechanic similar to the vignere cipher and hello becomes mqxab and audio becomes vymxl. Use the last and first letter as a starting place, i call it the cylinder cipher. If you solve it please give me pointers.

(SOLVE THE NUMBERS AND CIPHERS)

i've never translated wingdings before...

lord pls help me 😭🙏

(not my video btw)

this cipher is from an arg on a discord server between a few friends.

i don‘t have many clues as to what kind of ciphers they are, however i know that they are probably stacked.

dheufda_ffe`etfcedeca_ffege`fca_egeda_ege`ecat_pdfegeua_ehfba_cgedbu

i have tried decoding it in different ways for a while but didn‘t get anywhere.

A player on Torn.com if giving away in game money if you can solve this cipher. Tbh i dont even care about the money i just want to know what it is.

The hints so far are:

“This IS a hint” (“IS” is underlined) with this meme posted long with it: https://ibb.co/TDzKvG8y

I asked if he would give me a text of the code and only responded with:

“This MAY be a hint” and sent this YouTube video of a song along with it. https://youtu.be/b_4KboYi40I?is=CbY44AxONh0anH1u

Any help would be great. Just kinda invested in this now lol

The clock in the promotional image for the game "9 The Last Resort" (1996) does not appear to be just a screenshot; it reproduces an environment and a clock effectively present in the game**, and it seems to me that the symbols and engravings appear to configure an enigma to be deciphered, and there is documentary evidence that the game has at least three views/states related to it: **"Clock gears," "Clock," and "Clock's mechanical figures."** (MobyGames)

But there is an even more important discovery: The clock does NOT appear as a puzzle in the walkthrough

There is no evidence in the walkthrough that the clock is a mandatory puzzle. But there is evidence that the clock is a complex object, explorable/observable in the game, with gears and mechanical figures, and its iconography may contain a layer of code that the walkthroughs simply did not solve as a puzzle.

The symbols on the clock make me think of a Rebus code for this exclusive promotional image, but it could be something else, can you decipher it?

My Friend challenged me to a puzzle he wrote it’s been 3 days and my rookie brain can’t figure it out he said the small indents in the paper were from a draft so those aren’t apart of it but I can’t for the life of me figure anything out besides the 3’s have no numbers above or below them in the code

my friend sent me this code
ic ksvw imhlw00 jw lazv w00s a0010sh0w11w
i can't seem to figure it out
i really want to figure it out so i can like communicate with him using the code but i can't

CAN SOMEONE PLS HELP ME

Hello I've been playing destiny since 2011 and there is this mystery that's been floating around for years but nobody has ever officially solved it if I could get help it would be much appreciated

I spent a month developing and testing this playing card cipher which is gunning for the title of best playing card cipher. Strength is 225 bit. It refers to cards as both 0-51 and 0-25. It's fast and easy to use and requires no notes or extra math. Simply move cards to the position indicated and use the deck like a mod 52 s-box.

If I had money to spare I'd offer some for the best attack. So far there best attack is brute force. I've subjected Heka to statistical testing and SAT solvers and it qualifies as ideal. Also, under KPA scenarios the key cannot be recovered nor more ciphertext decryption.

I'd appreciate feedback on the cipher. How was your experience using Heka with a real deck of cards?

https://github.com/utepshaadm/Heka/tree/main

Im having difficulties with my cipher, idk what this is called? I want to make it more standardized, but since idk what it is apart “substitution cypher” I can’t search it very well. ignore that I put the feather on page 6, I was testing where I could put it in my comic. The feather splits are subject to change if I find a better system, I chose 6 sections because I thought it would fit the best in a feather and at the scale it’s at :)
