MISSION DIMENSION
Now… Decipher Your Clues

 
 

Have you been wondering about all those letters on your Agent Record? This is a special cipher, or way of writing a hidden message, called a scytale (pronounced SIGH-tale).

When wrapped around something of the correct size, it reveals a secret message! Look around while standing near Seventh Decade Garden. Do you spy a metal railing like this?

Take your scytale and wrap it around the square part of the rail like this:

A word will emerge from the letters. Do what it says, and you will solve the puzzle!
