HINTS
If you get stuck on any puzzle then you can take a look at a hint. Each puzzle has multiple hints, that get prog ressively
more helpful.

To stop you accidentally seeing the hints they’ve been encoded using a caesar shift. This means that each letter has been shifted
left by two letters. For example, the letter C will be shown as an A. “Emmb jsai!” would decode to “Good luck!”

If you would prefer a faster method, you can use your phone to scan the QR codes underneath each hint. Please note, if your
printer is very low quality, you may struggle to scan the QR codes.
