Crack the Code

Stuck inside all day, you're looking around for adventure. You decide to climb right inside the biggest cupboard in the house. As you dig around you find a battered pair of old leather walking boots, a rusty trowel, a dusty magnifying glass, and half a pack of stale chocolate biscuits.

Right in the back, under a mud spattered sheet, you discover a beautifully carved box. You go to open the lid, but as you do, a coded lock magically appears and locks the box shut!

Every time you move your hand away the lock disappears, but as soon as you get close it appears again.

You don't want to damage such a lovely object, but you really, really want to find out what's inside!

OUCH!

An old book falls from a shelf above and whacks you on the head.

You open it up. Only one page has writing on it...

You must complete four challenges and gather answers as you go. Each challenge is linked to a story on www.mylearning.org. You can work through the challenges in any order. Once you have all the answers enter them into the Code Cracker sheet to see if you have solved the magic lock. Good luck, adventurer!
