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.
DECISIVE STAGE: 08.11
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!

The Enigma codebreakers, the exhibition
We also recommend the ENIGMA CODEBREAKERS exhibition, which is located in Poznañ - the city where the history of Polish success in breaking the Enigma cipher began. The exhibition, in which the creators of our game participated, can be viewed every day between 10:00 and 18: 00 or online.
ENIGMA. WE HAVE GOT NEWS
is a short documentary presenting new facts about the Enigma decryption based on files disclosed by the French intelligence in 2016, a story told by world-renowned experts in cryptology and the Enigma history - Marek Grajek, Ph.D., Sir Dermot Turing and Prof. Philippe Guillot. The film is available in English.
