GREEN CHALLENGE 

SUPPLIES NEEDED:

• Green Clue Card (included) 
• Top Secret Decoder (included) 
  
• Pair of Gloves

For this puzzle players will have their green clue card, which has coded message, and along the outside it contains a riddle that leads to a pair of gloves in which when they look inside will discover the decoder.  We provide two different decoders for you to choose from - both are for the same code, but one is really basic to read, the other is an additional challenge to figure out how to use it. You can choose which best fits your crowd and age range. 

Once they have the decoder they use it to decode the message which is a fun math trick that reads:

take your age
double it
add ten
cut that in half
take away your age
this number is your
green code number

No matter what number you start with, the final answer will always be five.  This is the green code number, that they write on their CodeBuster Card.

Baking soda and grape juice react with each other in an acid-base reaction, producing a color change in the paper. The players must determine from the clue:

The purple code is right before your eyes

Look up, down, left, and right
Find the color that goes in white.
This is the color of the fuse,
the only bombs you must diffuse.
Pop, pop, pop, to take a peek,
Inside is the black code you seek.

Players must figure out that on each column and each row there is one color with two in a row.  The first row has two blues next to each other, the second row has  two blues next to each other again. The third row has two reds, the forth row is the one with the missing color, and the fifth row has two reds again.  Players must figure out that for the forth row to have two of the same color side by side the missing color must be green - this goes the same for all the vertical rows of circles.  

Once they do this they will know that its the green letters that will spell out there code number - the green letters spell out the word FOUR.  4 is what players write in the black code square on there CodeBuster card.
