If you control information, you can control the world. Today, supervillains aren’t the guys with bombs: they’re hackers with an evil agenda. Hackers make and break codes while government and military cryptographers create codes to communicate and keep information safe. Try your hand at being a government intelligence agent by making up a code system with your friends and using it to keep your secrets and make your plans. Once you’ve mastered it, you can have all those conversations you don’t want your brother to understand out in the open!
You’re going to build a code with your friends that you can share to keep your messages hard to decipher just in case your little sister snags your phone or someone hacks your e-mail. Whether you’re plotting your next SpecOps rescue campaign or listing which snacks to bring on a camping trip, you don’t want anyone outside your inner circle to know what you’re talking about when you IM and text each other. It would be so convenient to have a language only you and your friends knew; that’s where your codemaking skills come in handy. You’ll use your best tools: your brain, your friends’ brains, and your tablet or smartphone.
