Every day you intercept one encrypted transmission. Crack the cipher letter by letter — and with every solved chapter, an ongoing spy story unfolds, season after season. THE GAME • One monoalphabetic substitution cipher per day, solvable in 2–4 minutes • SIGNAL instead of a fail limit: mistakes and hints cost signal strength, but no chapter is ever lost • Practice mode with selectable difficulty — three free rounds a day • Spoiler-free share grid: show how you solved it without giving the message away • Your streak is your clearance rank — from CANDIDATE to GHOST THE STORY After each solve you read the dossier: VESPER, MAGPIE and their network hunt a traitor broadcasting on stolen frequencies. Every chapter ends on a cliffhanger for tomorrow. The story starts at chapter 1 for you — no matter when you join. And it is built for the long run: INTERCEPT is in active development, with more seasons on the way. FIELD KIT (optional one-time purchase) Unlimited practice instead of three free rounds a day, archive replay of solved chapters, extended statistics, season color themes and room for three blackout tokens. The daily chapter stays free forever — no subscription, no ads. PRIVACY Intercept runs fully offline. No data collection, no tracking, no account.
