A high-ranking cryptographer from the Home Office went missing months ago, without a trace. A recent listing in an online publication was flagged as bearing hallmarks of her cryptographic signature. Your team has been brought in to decipher the code and find the missing cryptographer. Along the way you discover that she may be involved in a plot by the Earth First Syndicate to assume control of Earth's defense satellite system. This would leave the people of Earth disastrously defenseless for whatever scheme the terror group has planned. It's up to you to track down the cryptographer and stop the Earth First Syndicate's plans.

The cryptographer is a game with a good mix of easy and more complex puzzles and tasks, and even though it only takes place on this one website it feels pretty interactive. I found that there were a few red herrings along the way, as well as some (what I would consider) outside knowledge needed, but not bad enough to keep our team too far off track.


For a couple of the puzzles we spent way more time than needed, simply because we had missed a key part of it. But I actually enjoyed those two puzzles a lot anyway because exploring the devices inputs and outputs was fun on it’s own. I also think those missions were better suited for team play than others, which is something I appreciate in a game, especially when it’s not synced across devices.


We actually divided into 2 teams for this game which was kind of fun to do it in competition style. Team A had 5 people and team B had 4. It was fun to gather back together after the game to discuss about the experience. All in all I really enjoyed The Cryptographer, even though I would have needed more help with the speed deciphering at the end. This game gave the option to let you try the puzzles on your own but play it through a team setting.
