INCOMING BRIEF — EYES ONLY

Agent. You were chosen because you matter.

Hidden inside this encrypted system is a payload meant only for those clever enough to earn it. Six security layers — technical and creative — stand between you and the truth.

Crack all six. The reward is unforgettable.

LAYER 01 THE RIDDLE OF RINGS 🧩 NON-TECHNICAL

An ancient cipher lock. It opens only for the one who reads between the lines. Choose your answer carefully — wrong answers cost a life.

I grow stronger the more you share me.
I'm invisible, yet felt by all.
I'm the very reason you're gathered here
and I last forever when cared for well.
What am I?

Think about why two people invite their closest friends to witness a single moment. What force draws people together and never depletes the more you give it away?

LAYER 02 BINARY TRANSMISSION ⚙️ TECHNICAL

Our agents intercepted a 4-byte binary signal. Decode it from 8-bit ASCII binary to reveal the hidden word. Each row = one letter.

// ASCII QUICK-REFERENCE (A–Z)

Convert each 8-bit group to decimal: e.g. 01000100 → 64+4 = 68. Then look up decimal 68 in the ASCII table above. The 4-letter word is something that matters greatly in any relationship — it's also what people "mark" on a calendar.

LAYER 03 EMOJI CIPHER 🎯 NON-TECHNICAL

Each emoji represents a concept. Together they encode a hidden word. Decode the rebus equation and select the correct answer below.

🔐 + ❤️ + 🗝️ =

🔐 = Something locked away · ❤️ = Deep emotion · 🗝️ = The thing that opens it

A locked heart + love + the key to open it = ? When someone gets down on one knee and produces the key to unlock another person's heart... what do we call that moment?

LAYER 04 MORSE CODE INTERCEPT ⚙️ TECHNICAL

A transmission was intercepted on frequency 7.3 MHz. The signal is divided into character groups. Decode each group using the reference table and type the complete word.

// MORSE CODE REFERENCE A–Z

The signal encodes 4 letters. V = ...- O = --- W = .-- S = ... — now put them together. The word describes a solemn promise made between two people in front of witnesses.

LAYER 05 LEXICAL SCRAMBLE 🔠 NON-TECHNICAL

These letter tiles have been scrambled by the encryption system. Click tiles in order to assemble the correct 8-letter word. Click a tile in the answer area to return it.

↓ CLICK FROM TILE BANK TO BUILD YOUR WORD

YOUR WORD APPEARS HERE

The word is 8 letters. It describes the formal ritual where two people exchange vows in front of loved ones. Begins with C, ends with Y. It's the main event!

LAYER 06 DEBUG THE LOVE LETTER ⚙️ TECHNICAL

This JavaScript function was written to generate a wedding guest welcome message — but a sneaky bug crept in and it's crashing. Click the exact line containing the bug to clear the final lock.

love_message.js — identify the bug

JavaScript arrays are zero-indexed. If `guests = ["Alice","Bob","Charlie"]` has 3 items, their indices are 0, 1, and 2. There is no index 3 — that would be undefined and cause a crash. Look for an array access with the wrong index number.
