CodeBar Live Show 8 – We believe there is an encryption on the back.

Welcome to a very special ‘Live from the CodeBar’, recorded from the code themed bar of Fenwood Manor. On this show I have the pleasure of welcoming for the first time two very special guests to the bar, Aubrey Paris and Emily Black the hosts of the ‘National Treasure Hunt’ podcast. National Treasure is one of my favorite movies of all time, and it’s full of codes and ciphers and of course treasure, after all it’s in the title! On this show we will take one of the biggest ciphers used in the movie the Ottendorf Cipher or Book Cipher used on the back of the Declaration of Independence and break it down in the usual CodeBar way BUT with the help of Aubrey and Emily we tie in all things National Treasure and we also have an awesome conversation.

This weeks special on the menu is a review of the puzzle/treasure hunt feature film 3 Day Weekend Written and Directed by Wyatt McDill and staring Maya Stojan, Morgan Krantz, Nathan Phillips, and Scott McDonald.

CodeBar Live Show 14 - Polybius the Man, the Cipher, the Urban Legend.

Live from the CodeBar

01/31/22 • 18 min

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polybius

Welcome everyone to the second season of ‘Live from the CodeBar’ recorded from the code themed bar of Fenwood Manor. I am your guide on this adventure, Rob. For this Second Season the CodeBar is pleased to announce a new partnership with the website Area’s Grey. Areas Grey is a travel blog for treasure hunters that features tips and reviews, treasure posts, a forum, dedicated research and hosted treasure hunts!

After a few months off to reset and refresh, I am pleased to announce that this season is going to be bigger and better than season one with more interviews with treasure hunt creators, more shows on codes and ciphers as well as a lot more amazing stories and shows.

This show is all about Polybius, the Man, the Cipher and the Urban Legend. From the earliest days of man codes and ciphers have been used to communicate important information over long distances safely. The Polybius Checkerboard/cipher/square is one of the earliest ciphers used to make sure information is only read by the person it was intended for. But who was Polybius the man and what was the Urban legend that was spawned in the Pacific Northwest in the 90’s that used his name! Listen in and I will give you a taste, and perhaps, make you think of Polybius in a different way.
