Frequently Asked Questions
Just how heavy is the Kryptos, really?
Assembly is straightforward and takes about 15 to 20 minutes. It gets trickier for whoever is supposed to crack the code later, because they have to find the set word. You choose the secret word yourself—it can be up to six letters long.
How long does it take?
It takes about 15 to 20 minutes to assemble it. Whoever is supposed to decode the Kryptos later will need a little longer to get to the secret compartment. There is no set time to solve it, because you can choose the code word yourself.
Do I have to assemble anything?
Yes, unlike most Riddle Boxes , the Kryptos comes to you as a wooden kit. It's intentionally designed this way so you can learn about the mechanics as you assemble it. Expect it to take 15 to 20 minutes.
Can I change the passcode?
Yes, the Kryptos is easy to reset, and you can set a new secret word with up to six letters. This way, you can use it multiple times. Be sure to remember the word you set, because without it, the compartment will remain locked.
Is it still worth it once the word is out?
Once someone knows the word, it loses its appeal for that person. Since the Kryptos can be reset, you can use a new word to hide something again or pass it on to someone else. It can still be used as a portable safe for secret messages.
Can I put a gift of money in it?
The secret compartment measures 2 x 2 x 8 centimeters. Rolled-up bills, a gift certificate, or a handwritten note fit inside easily. Once assembled, the Kryptos is specifically designed to serve as elegant gift packaging.
Gameplay & Gift Suitability
The Kryptos is a portable safe in which secret messages can be hidden. We have designed it as a wooden kit to give you the opportunity to assemble it yourself. This way you can get to know the mechanics and hide secret messages in it as a gift or as part of a game.
- The cryptos can be easily reset and the secret word can consist of up to 6 letters.
- The assembled Kryptos can also be used as sophisticated gift packaging. Size of the secret compartment: 2 x 2 x 8 cm
