Welcome to 'Live from the CodeBar', recorded from the code themed bar of Fenwood Manor. On our second show I will finish up the story of Masquerade, the armchair treasure hunt that started it all!
After Kit Williams released Masquerade, the book and hunt was an instant success, but what followed was not what was expected, from the solve to the scandal, Part 2 will discuss what happened when the Golden Hare was finally found, and what happened to the treasure.
Pub Grub Review

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.

Welcome to a very special ‘Live from the CodeBar’, recorded from the code themed bar of Fenwood Manor.

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.

CodeBar Cocktail

The Telegraph Cider

Ingredients

· 3 Oz Angry Orchard Crisp Apple Cider

· 1.5 Oz Dark Rum

*Toasted Marshmallow Syrup*

· 1 Cup Water

Welcome to ‘Live from the CodeBar’, recorded from the code themed bar of Fenwood Manor. On this show we will talk about the new armchair treasure hunt ‘The Letters of St. Germain’ by Lisa Finch. This new hunt consists of a series of letters, poems and images that when solved will lead you to the Horn of Magistrum treasure proxy hidden somewhere in the continental United States.

CodeBar Cocktail

St Germain’s Rouge Corpse Reviver

Guaranteed to bring your soul back from the living dead,

This devilishly deathly drink is a deliciously dirty red!

Take mother’s ruin, an ounce of gin.

And two ounces of Cherry Mariner sin.

Add murderous Absinthe if you dare,

But just an eight of a teaspoon, take great care.

A dash of lemon juice juice will cut the sweet,

Then add some ice to remove the heat.

Shake till the blood runs dirty pink,

And then it’s time to sink your drink!

CodeBar Live Show 7– Kryptos, it means hidden.

Welcome everyone to ‘Live from the CodeBar’ recorded from the code themed bar of Fenwood Manor. I am your guide on this adventure, Rob. On this show I am going to talk to you about the mysterious sculpture Kryptos that stands outside the CIA headquarters building in Langley, Virginia. The sculpture by artist Jim Sanborn has four encrypted messages, which as of now only three have been decoded. There is one other problem with this sculpture, because it is on CIA property, very few people (outside of the intelligence community) are able to view it!

The Kryptos

Ingredients

  1. 2oz Jack Daniels
  2. Bunderberg Ginger Beer
  3. Ice
  4. ?Can you name the third ingredient?

Recipe

Start with filling a tall Collins glass with ice. Add the Jack Daniels and the ?mystery spirit?. Top off with Bunderberg Ginger Beer (available at Costco).

Enjoy
