YOUR MISSION
Are you ready to investigate?
Click the button below to begin the Rewritten Past Puzzle.
WORK TOGETHER
You don’t have to solve this alone.
Talk to other participants. Compare what you’ve discovered. Share theories. Put the clues together.
Teamwork is encouraged. You never know when another investigator might notice something you’ve missed.
Just remember: the goal is to solve the mystery, not to keep your discoveries secret.
STUCK?
Even the best investigators get stuck.
If you need a little help, you have two hints available during your investigation.
You can request a hint by email through a form, or find a Black Card Cipher team member at Dragon Con and ask for help in person.
You get two hints, so use them wisely.
