GlyphPals
Codes and secret writing for ages 6–8: a message lands on the table written in a real code — Braille, Morse, or Maya numbers — and you decode it, sign by sign, with its key. Every code is real, with a real story. On-device; nothing leaves your device.
#b45309 Distributed-narrative cast
Meet the cast
GlyphPals's cast each keep one real code; Codex the key-keeper asks “what does the key say?” — because every code, once you have its key, is just another way to write.
Codex
(Guide) the keeper of keys — every code has a key; find it and you can read anything
Pipa
Braille — six dots you read with your fingertips (Louis Braille, 1824)
Morrow
Morse — a short beep and a long beep down a wire (Samuel Morse, 1830s)
Zeru
Maya numbers — a dot is one, a bar is five, and a shell is zero (one of the first zeros ever written)
