| The US Navy has created an online code-breaking game in an attempt to recruit the next generation of cryptologists. The role-playing game is called Project Architeuthis and will be released on Facebook over the coming days. The game follows the storyline of a US naval cryptologist sneaking aboard an enemy submarine in order to rescue the chief architect of the US weapons programme. Players will decode complex clues sent by the digital cryptologist to discover the location of the submarine and rescue the high profile prisoner. This is the second time the US Navy has turned to Facebook to try and find recruits through puzzle solving.Previously they posted an alphabet-based game but this was solved within minutes. They are hoping that Project Architeuthis will be harder to complete. The game has been based on the work Cicada 3301, an anonymous group that has released highly complex problem-solving puzzles onto the Internet, which some have speculated are recruiting tools for groups such as the CIA and MI6. |
