The Kids' Code Podcast
37. Cicada 3301: A Mysterious Puzzle Quest
In this episode, we discover the mystery of Cicada 3301 with Peter. Cicada 3301 all started from a post on the message board 4chan, and led Cryptographers on a chase for about a month through some of the world's most complicated and interesting puzzles, until a few managed to get to the end. Then, it returned for two more years, finally with an encoded book that is, at the time of the release of this episode, unsolved. We're sorry, the song mentioned in the episode and supposedly played in the episode did not transfer, so you cannot hear it from us. In the story, Seth arrives to help- but he is different than what we thought. Finally, we share a couple other internet puzzle mysteries.
The Background music in this episode is by Bio Unit, RomanSenykMusic, fanchisanches, and Music Unlimited, and our theme is "Mosquito" by Caspar Babypants.
