Thanks, got it! That was a fine riddle. :) I had no idea how a 39-item code could form a 16-character solution, but once I started decoding it the right way, it all became clear. Very nice code. Especially since other encryptions which have gift codes as solutions have the problem that you never know if you're on the right track, because the correct solution is a gibberish gift code. Your encryption doesn't have that problem. :)

Btw, also thanks to GOG for designing the gift feature in a way that I could redeem one game without voiding the others for other ninjas. :)

Many thanks!
I grabbed the two Crusader games from it. Three games left :)

Congrats! :)


Yes, gotta love GOG for having a logical gifting system. :)

Wow, thanks for this puzzle and the games! Just redeemed the key. I figured out yesterday before going to sleep how to do the square and how the numbers would fit with it. But I thought I was on the wrong track because they were just too high (so this hint of you was the missing piece) and too many (resolved itself...). Didn't think of the numbers of the code being as text in there. ;-)

Congrats!
Yeah, it was easier for me to just put the numbers in as letters. Apparently it helped with the deciphering as well. I'm glad for that, as for a bit there I thought it had made the puzzle too hard.

And for everyone still wondering, the cipher used was the Nihilist cipher, used in Russia in the 1880s.

'Till next time! ;)

Fun puzzle. :)

The Russia 1880's clue made it fairly easy... once I remembered down then over instead of over then down.

Thanks for the puzzle, I learned a new cipher system

Many thanks :)

You're welcome!
