Instructions

Several messages have been passed to the Pancake And Noodle Detective Agency (P.A.N.D.A)

It seems that some of these messages have been written in code stop the kidnapper reading them.

The Agency has asked for our help to decode some of messages.

Work through the presentation to decipher the codes and find the suspect.

***Be wary that the last slide of every code will reveal the full answer, so be careful not to let your group see this.***
