A secret-codes lab for ages 8-13. Caesar Wheel is a two-ring cipher wheel (shifts -13 to +13) with live encode/decode of typed words and Caesar's shift-of-3 history. Code Breaker runs 8 missions (Caesar shifts and shape substitution with a partial key) using a real letter-frequency hint computed from each message. Morse Code is a tap-to-hear A-Z and 0-9 explorer with WebAudio beeps and a flashing lamp, a Send It mode, and a 6-round Hear & Decode quiz featuring SOS and its history. Codes are framed as puzzles and history.
