Face the challenge
An International Online Cryptology Game dedicated to the conquerors of the Enigma cipher M. Rejewski, J. Różycki, H. Zygalski and other members of the Cipher Bureau team.
Cipher course
The game refers to the historic Cipher Course held in Poznan, Poland, in 1929. Participants learn increasingly difficult ciphers and other methods of keeping information secret and how to break them. They put their acquired knowledge into practice by measuring themselves against other players in solving cryptological tasks! Competition, time pressure, challenge and mystery - these are the four intrinsic elements of a cryptologist's work.
Three levels of difficulty
is a one-person game that during six lectures will allow you to learn the basics of a cryptologist's work, encompassing simple codes (including unbreakable ones!) and will enable you to face first cryptological challenges.
TEAM AND TRY THE GAME
is an encounter with the historical methods of information secrecy that were the ABC of every cryptologist. They also had to be learnt by the future Enigma Conquerors at the beginning of the Cipher Course that made them cryptologists. At this level, teams of three will play the role of adepts of cryptology.
TAKE ON THE CHALLENGE
is the next step in the exploration of cryptological craftsmanship. A real adventure in ciphers, including the famous ‘le chiffre indéchiffrable’. As it will turn out, this ‘unbreakable cipher’ will succumb, sooner or later, to your team's attacks. All it takes is a little cryptological intuition....
DECISIVE STAGE: 22.11
is a clash with the cipher guarding the greatest secrets of the Third Reich. Take on the role of Polish mathematicians and compete for the title of Enigma slayer!
DECISIVE STAGE: 06.12
