Five secret contacts. A decoder wheel, cipher puzzles, and clues hidden in the streets themselves. Five letters that name the keepers — and unlock the vault. A rival agent walks the same trail. You have about ninety minutes to two hours to crack it all.
Fifteen seconds inside the case — the kit, the contacts and the cipher that runs the game.
A neutral city, gleaming and quiet — and beneath it, the busiest crossroads of secrets in Europe. A banker who has seen too much wants out. Before he vanished he split a record — the Turicum Ledger — among five trusted contacts across the old town.
Find all five. Learn who really held the gold. Then open the vault.
You play a newly recruited agent. Your kit is your edge; your handler is one scan away. And somewhere on these streets walks Der Habicht — the Hawk.
At each landmark, a durable detail — the clock's numerals, a count of towers, the windows of Chagall — gives you a secret key.
Set your decoder wheel to that key and decode the contact's intercepted message. Nothing is handed to you — you crack it.
Collect five letters that name the keepers — then use that name as the key to crack the final cipher and uncover the twist. Stuck? Your handler gives nudges, never answers.
