The Thomas Beale Cipher: an award-winning animated short by Andrew Allen, based on the ‘true legend’ of a famous unsolved code.

The film, which features a cryptographer trying to crack the riddle of the title, contains 16 hidden messages that hold clues to the characters’ secrets. Eight are fairly easy to discern. Six are moderately difficult. Two require a genius mind to decrypt.

There’s $65,000,000 in it for you if you get all sixteen. Probably.
