How does the game fit the theme?
The player must decrypt a series of messages and identify the locations inside of them correctly. Nothing can go wrong, because if the player fails to identify even one location then they lose the round (and their streak).

What code and assets did you not make from scratch during the jam (if any)?
We did not make any of the audio or fonts; a full list of where each asset is from is in the game's credits page under "Third Party Assets."

How many people worked on the game?

This was so my jam. As a kid I loved code breaking books, and mystery books by Enid Blighton, Robert Arthor Jr and the Hardy Boys.  This really took me back.  Great idea and very well polished. Only thing I'd maybe suggest is that the letters you have assigned by a different color in the translated text just to make it clearer which you've  entered solutions for. One of my favourite games so far! Great work!

This was so cool! Found all 11 locations first try. Felt like a really polished/finished game!

Hello, so the game is a detective game in which we will have to decipher the texts in order to find the place where the person is, this game is original and this is hard 💀or I'm just bad lol
