International School Code Breaking Challenge
We’re now running a huge school code breaking competition. There are a total of 7 competitions to enter – each one with a number of codes to crack. Each time a code is cracked this gives the password to access the next clue. Students who break all codes will be entered onto the leaderboard of fame. Levels of codes range from upper KS2 to post 16 – so there should be something for everyone.
Choose your level, and good luck!
