Five ciphered scrolls. One hidden word. The ravens are watching — decode them all.
An intercepted correspondence
Whispers of the Ravens
The ravens carry letters between dying worlds — and every one of them is sealed in cipher.
You are the Tavern's spymaster. Five scrolls have been plucked from the midnight flock. Crack each cipher — Caesar shifts, Atbash mirrors, Vigenère seals, folded transpositions — and the whispers themselves will spell one final word.

How to play
Each scroll shows an intercepted ciphertext. Use the cipher workbench to decode it — turn the wheel, hold it to the mirror, apply the keyword.
Tap the answer slots, then tap letters on the quill-keyboard to fill them in. Submit when the whisper reads true.
Hints cost points: naming the cipher, a whispered nudge, revealing the key, or bribing a raven for a letter. Solve with no hints for escalating streak bonuses.
Three wrong submissions on one scroll and the raven burns it — the hunt ends.
Master ciphers unlock after 10 decoded scrolls — longer whispers, and every hint costs double.
Lightning Round: 90 seconds, no hints — every cracked scroll scores, every wrong answer costs 5 seconds and breaks your combo. Chain correct solves to build a combo multiplier worth up to ×5 points per scroll.
Every solved scroll opens a page of the Codex. The first letters of the five whispers combine into the final word.

The Final Whisper
One Word, Five Ravens
Five whispers. Five first letters. The ravens were never carrying five messages — they were carrying one word. Speak it.
