Live from the CodeBar

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
On this show I will offer the first of many Pub Grub Reviews, these will be short segments reviewing either a book, podcast, movie, TV series or something else code, cipher, puzzle or treasure related. 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 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.

CodeBar Live Show 4 - The Mysterious St Germain

Live from the CodeBar

03/12/21 • 21 min

https://www.lettersofstgermain.com/

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!
