The braille Cipher is an extremely unique addition to your Escape Room.
Developed with the aid of encryption expert Mic Healey (ciphertown.com) and supported blind users, this cipher is a fully functional encryption device capable of securely encoding any message. It uses raised Braille dots for the letters. The characters are precisely raised by lasering etching away the surrounding wood.
The inner wheel has the alphabet clockwise. The outer wheel has the alphabet counterclockwise. As is consistent with the original Braille alphabet, the letter “W” is at the end, following Z. This was because Braille was originally a French invention and “W” was little used in that language at the time Braille was created. The “W” was added later and placed at the end.
A detailed introduction to Braille and instructions on how to use the cipher to encode and decode messages are included. It was written by Mr. Healey. Additionally we recommend that you view the video below for a brief tutorial. At this time the instructions are only available in English text (not braille).
Operation of the disk and encoding technique is essentially the same as classic wheel ciphers like The Alberti Cipher or the Confederate Army Cipher.
The disks may also be useful as a teaching aide in learning Braille.
It is possible for us to laser engrave a name or message on the back of the cipher as an option. You can select that below if you’d like.
The cipher measures 6.25” in diameter.
A lot of our puzzles can be customized with different images, text, symbols and codes.
If you are placing an order for any puzzle which requires a code such as:
- Magnet Maze
- Disk Maze
- Directional Lock Puzzle
- Grille Cipher
- Holey Moley
- Braille Box
Please select "Yes" to customization and Email me the code.
All Magnet Mazes require a code from you, the other puzzles will have a standard code used if a custom code is not selected.
International Orders Please Email me the code at Phil@CreativeEscapeRooms.com
There is not an additional charge for a custom code on Magnet Mazes. There is a small fee for customizing the puzzles.
It is very important to relay codes for mazes and any custom information to me at the time of your order.
I cannot get started until knowing exactly what you want. If I do not have this information it will increase the amount of time it takes for you to have the puzzle in your hands.
If you would like to add images or more extensive customization please contact me prior to placing your order so we can work out the details.
I can also create custom one off props to fit in with the exact needs of your room. If you have an idea please do not hesitate to contact me. We may just be able to bring it to life.
