Questions

How do I know my answer is right?

Each lock's code is a section number in The Logbook. Turn to that section: if it says open, you got it.

What if I get stuck?

Every lock has 3 hints you can read one at a time, and then the full solution, printed upside down so you don't see it by accident.

Do I need anything besides the book?

Just a pencil. No phone, no website and no scissors.

How big is the print?

Every word is 16 point, and the main text is set in Atkinson Hyperlegible, a typeface the Braille Institute designed for easy reading.
