Geocache Description:


We're back again with a new installment in the series. Cipher Madness #3 boasts another cipher for you to decode and- wait- what's this? A 5 star difficulty rating??? Yes, you read that right. We'll be forthcoming and let you know that this is because you'll need a rather specialized tool to access this cache: a magnetic pick with a relatively small magnet head. The cache itself is in a place where hands and fingers can't quite reach and a regular stick likely won't cut it. (Please, don't try to use anything other than a magnetic pick as you risk damaging the cache container). You will not be able to access the cache without it, so come prepared. Once you have found the cache, you can return it to it's proper hiding place using the non-magnetic end of your tool to make it invisible to muggles and unobtainable without the TOTT. Adawgx managed to make our tool from a 59 cent wooden dowell rod, a dollar-store magnet, and some super glue. 

 

But enough with that, let's talk cipher! That's why you're really here, right? This cipher is based on one of our favorite games: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. It's a battle royale featuring characters from a variety of other video game series as they duke it out on stage. The game features a wide roster of characters to battle as. To get the coordinates to the cache, you'll need to solve the cipher below which is based on characters in this game.

So if you're ready to undertake this challenge... game on!

adawgx with our homemade TOTT versus the ever-powerful DNF!

Good luck and happy caching!
