A puzzle game where you UNDERSTAND ciphers by solving them - not by reading about them. From the Caesar cipher to RSA and hashing, crack classic and modern ciphers one stage at a time, and the way each cipher works clicks into place. Work out the key from a clue and enter it, spot letters with frequency analysis, reverse-look up a grid - relive that "aha" moment of decryption again and again. [ 9 ciphers, 57 puzzles ] Classic ciphers - free, 40 puzzles - Caesar (10) - Shift letters; work out the shift from the crib and enter it - Vigenere (10) - Polyalphabetic with a keyword; guess the key - Substitution (8) - One-to-one swap; crack it with frequency analysis - Transposition (6) - See through the reordering - Polybius Square (6) - Letters to numbers via a 5x5 grid; reverse-look up Modern ciphers - 17 puzzles - XOR (6, free) - Exclusive OR; XOR with the key to recover the text - Public-Key, simplified RSA (4, Modern Cipher Pack) - Work out the number locked with the public key - Hash Function (4, Modern Cipher Pack) - Feel one-wayness; find an input that collides to the same output - Block Cipher, AES-style (3, Modern Cipher Pack) - Step through add-key, substitute, and permute, one move at a time [ Features ] - Explanation right after you solve - history, real-world usage, weaknesses, and the bridge to modern tech - Staged hints - the first level is free; reveal more step by step when stuck (keeps the "I solved it" feeling) - No ads at all while you are solving a puzzle - designed to preserve focus - Achievement badges and stats (including your daily solving streak) - iPhone and iPad - Japanese and English (UI, puzzle text, and hints; follows the device language) - Ciphertext shown in an easy-to-read monospaced font [ Who is this for ] - Anyone who loves puzzles and riddles - Students and engineers curious about cryptography and security - People who want quick brain-training in spare moments [ Part of the Raku Series ] The third information-systems title of the Raku Series. Knowledge from ARURAKU (algorithms) and DATARAKU (data structures) pays off in NazoRaku's decryption - hashing and modular exponentiation tie ciphers back to the fundamentals. [ Pricing ] Free to play. All 40 classic-cipher puzzles and the 6 XOR puzzles are free. In-app purchases: hint tickets (1 or a 10-pack), Remove Ads, the Modern Cipher Pack (unlocks public-key, hash, and block ciphers), and an all-in-one Premium (remove ads + all stages + unlimited hints).
