Need some extra help solving the Dragon Caper codes?
You’ve come to the right place!
Clue #1 is a Pigpen Cypher. It’s a fun code that’s easy to use and remember once you know the secret decoder. Draw two tic-tac-toe grids and two large Xs with dots and the letters of the alphabet as shown below. Then code/decode your message using the lines/dots surrounding the letter.
Clue #3 is an Acrostic. An acrostic is a piece of writing in which a particular set of letters, in this case the first letter of each sentence, spells out a word or phrase. Write down the first letter of each sentence and you’ll discover the name of person who stole the ring! For some extra fun, try creating an acrostic which will spell your own name!
Run to the store for me, please. Either walk or ride your bike. Xylophones are on sale and I need one.

Hopefully, you will be able to find a small one. In case it is too big, ask them to ship it. Judging by the ad in the paper, they will have every size. If you run into any problems, please call me. Naturally, I am looking forward to making music with my new purchase. Xylophones are my favorite thing!
