Installment #6

Loop back to the beginning and make sure to place all of your time tokens on the Time Travel Tangle Tracker. Then finish the puzzle that came in the first installment (“How to Reveal your Final Message”).

This message was written using a shift cipher. You will find the key (the number and the direction to shift) in the final installment on the yellow UNSTUC warning ticket.

Once you complete the “How to Reveal your Final Message” puzzle and enter all of the letters into the grid, you will need to shift back 6 in order to read the final message. Be careful to shift backward and not forward.

If you are using the shift cipher correctly, the first letter of your message will be “I” and when you shift back 6 you will get the letter “C”.

Your final set of instructions is to “change the red numbers to letters.” To do this, assign a number to each letter of the alphabet starting with A. So A = 1, B = 2, C = 3 and so on. Once you change the red letters on your time tokens to letters, your final message will be revealed.
