Instructions

Step 1: Set the Clock

Start by setting a timer for 60 minutes. The goal is to break as many codes as possible within that time.

Step 2: Begin with the Cipher Wheel

Both teams begin the challenge by completing the cipher wheel task.
Once the cipher wheel is complete, teams can move on to other codes.
Note: You do not need the cipher wheel to decode the remaining tasks. The letters at the top of each page will provide enough information.

Step 3: Decode and Complete Tasks

Each team has a different code to break.
Teams can choose to:
Decode everything upfront before starting tasks.
Solve tasks one at a time in any order.
A task is only complete once it has been decoded and seen by a leader.

Step 4: Keep Track of Time

At the end of 60 minutes, count how many tasks each team has completed. The team with the most completed tasks wins the main game.

Final Round: "My Pronouns Are USA"

Gather the group for a final challenge. Each Ranger will take turns naming a U.S. state.
If a player:
Repeats a state, or
Fails to name one in time, they are eliminated.
Continue until one person remains. The winner earns 5 extra points for their team.

Winning the Game

Combine the final round bonus with the main game scores to determine the overall winner. Good luck, and happy codebreaking!
