Ships right away, does not renew
Yesterday, a group of grad students studying the birthplace of the Renaissance accidentally triggered an ancient trap, sealing 12 of them in a crypt beneath the iconic Duomo cathedral. Inside the chamber, they’ve found a stone cipher wheel they believe holds the key to their escape.
The cipher wheel is etched with the names of famous Renaissance sites across Florence and a human figure. Those students who narrowly avoided the trap have raced to these nine locations, where they suspect other clues await. Time is critical, and the students are collaborating in real time over Zip video conferencing, but they need your expertise to crack the codes.
Water is steadily rising in the chamber, and while local authorities will act to save the students before it’s too late, we aim to solve the puzzles first—preserving the Duomo’s historical integrity and perhaps unlocking secrets long buried. The Society of Seekers has called upon you to join this high-stakes mission. Can you solve the riddles before time runs out and destructive measures are required to save the group?
