Part II. Secret Stories, Codes, and Cryptogram Puzzles

Secret Stories, Codes, and Cryptogram Puzzles

In this part ...

You're confronted with three tales of conspiracy, composed by Freemason and writer Mark E. Koltko-Rivera. One conspiracy dates to the days of the Revolutionary War; another takes place over the course of 70 years before and after the Civil War; and the third takes place — well, yesterday, today, and tomorrow. Ah, but important phrases and portions of each story are in code! How will you ever discover the truth of these conspiracies?

By solving the many puzzles we include in this part. The solutions give you the coded pieces of the story to plug into Chapter 3 so you can read our conspiracy stories.

If you're more interested in the puzzles than the stories, you can work through Chapters 4 through 13 for fun, without ever deciphering Chapter 3. Plus you can find plenty of cryptograms in this part that aren't related to the stories at all. No matter what you prefer, this part is filled with enough codes and cryptograms to keep you busy for quite some time!
