One great lock, twenty-four chained transmissions, and hidden layers beneath. Start here.

The Keyholders, Vol. I — The Application

The Keyholders, Vol. I — The Application

An encrypted cipher hunt from Latchworks. Twenty-four chained transmissions stand between you and the door; break one and it hands you the key to the next. Hidden marks, deeper ciphers, and ciphers worked into the covers themselves. Every lock machine-proven solvable. Solve the book, unlock the society.

The Keyholders, Vol. II — The Handbook

The Keyholders, Vol. II — The Handbook

An encrypted cipher hunt from Latchworks. Twelve lessons teach you the craft, then dare you to take the secret back. But beneath them lie sixteen more hidden ciphers in a dozen systems, woven through the pages and scratched into the covers. Thirty locks in all. Find what the maxims leave out and build a thirteenth key the book never prints. Every lock machine-proven solvable.
