Product description
"Like Sudoku For Spies" Think you'd make a good spy? Join the Codebreaking Club and put your cryptanalyst skills to the test with one real secret message from the past each month. Never solved a cipher before? With the Codebreaking Club, learning to solve ciphers is easy. Every Codebreaking Club envelope includes step-by-step instructions for deciphering your latest message. You'll be cracking codes in no time! Each Codebreaking Club envelope includes: A Secret Code: A replica of a real coded letter or telegram from the past for you to try your hand at deciphering, mailed on beautiful stationery or parchment. Decoding Instructions: A short guide to help you decipher your latest message. The Story of Your Message: Below your instructions is a short article telling the story of your latest message and the figures from history who wrote and deciphered it. A Decoded Transcript: Flip your instruction sheet upside down to see a transcript of your latest message, fully deciphered, and see how you fared. First-Class Postage: All Codebreaking Club secret codes are delivered via USPS First-Class mail. Join the Codebreaking Club An Intriguing Gift That Keeps On Giving Delight the puzzle lovers, math nerd, or history buff in your life with a gift that will deliver hours of joy every month. Because you can give as little as one coded message or as many as a year's worth, a membership to the Codebreaking Club can be a perfect gift for any occasion. Give one or two months as a small thank-you or get-well-soon gift or an ongoing membership as a grand birthday or Christmas surprise. If you do choose an ongoing subscription, you can pause or cancel at any time. A Unique Screen-Free Supplement To Your STEM & History Curriculum Liven up your lesson plans with secret codes. Each edition of the Codebreaking Club is a self-contained, screen-free, hands-on activity. Students can work independently or collaborate in groups. Through the Codebreaking Club, your students will engage deeply with historical figures, concepts, and events from their textbooks and receive an introduction to the world of cryptanalysis, ciphers, and signals intelligence. Codebreaking Club memberships are available in bulk for schools, clubs, and learning pods. Our secret codes are also available in a growing list of state ESA marketplaces to serve homeschool and unschooling families. A Window Into the History of Spycraft and Intelligence Throughout history, spies and counterintelligence professionals have waged a clandestine war over information. These battles are fascinating and historically significant, but because of the nature of the work, they're also extraordinarily hard to follow. Our goal with the Codebreaking Club is to make the methods these spies, soldiers, and diplomats employed to smuggle information across enemy lines, the methods used to break their codes, and the classified intelligence they were smuggling, accessible. If you like reading about topics like the Culper Spy Ring, "Room 40," Bletchley Park, OSS, CIA, DIA, and NSA, you'll love this series. Please Note: Unlike most Letterjoy products, which are weekly, The Codebreaking Club publishes one coded message a month.
