Consisting of hundreds of extremely challenging codes, puzzles and interactive ciphers, The Guides is a journey that will challenge your wit, stretch your imagination and test your ingenuity in unique and innovative ways.

Simply stated, they’re not easy. Progressing will be difficult, but you have the appropriate tools at your disposal. Everything you need to proceed is — or has been — provided.

Look for clues and patterns to build on what you have learned. Remember what you have seen as for no detail is too subtle or insignificant. As you explore deeper, you’ll begin to unravel the enigma of The Guides.

Peculiar, isn't it?

Fantastic - Totally Obsessed

Came across this game totally on accident and it’s sparked a new interest in cryptography. Definitely worth it for those who want to keep their minds sharp and employ out-of-the-box thinking.

Keeps you thinking!

The puzzles seem easy when they first appear and then take a twist.

Dan Earle ,

Great challenge

Game has a good balance of challenge and clues. Sneaky at times. Puzzle completed may have info used later. Has story to go with it.
