Historic True Crime
Before the heist, someone had to get the keys.
10 words - 16 x 16 grid
Boston, 1950. Before the Brink's robbery, the gang watched the building from nearby roofs and temporarily removed lock cylinders to obtain matching keys. A shopkeeper later remembered making keys for Anthony Pino. Read the account. Find the details.
Art Theft and Hoaxes
The portrait vanished. The clues remain.
10 words - 16 x 16 grid
Already-live Mona Lisa sample. The existing page is reused unchanged.
Modern True Crime
The logs vanished. The bitcoin trail did not.
10 words - 16 x 16 grid
In the August 2016 Bitfinex theft, 119,754 bitcoin moved through more than 2,000 unauthorized transactions. The later Justice Department account describes deleted access records-but transfers left a trail. Follow the account, then find its ten terms.
Great Heists and Stolen Treasures
Caught with the Crown Jewels. Then pardoned.
8 words - 16 x 16 grid
Thomas Blood was captured after the 1671 attempt on the Crown Jewels-and later received a royal pardon. The pardon is documented. The king's full reasoning remains uncertain. Begin with the objects and the trust that made access possible.
Con Artists, Frauds and Forgeries
Old paper. New lies.
8 words - 16 x 16 grid
In 1794, William Henry Ireland began supplying supposed Shakespeare documents. A genuine old book could acquire a false ownership inscription. The age of the object did not prove its connection to Shakespeare. Can you separate the object from the claim?
Spies, Codes and Double Agents
0711 is not a date. It is a name.
6 code numbers - 16 x 16 grid
The Culper codebook assigned numbers to names and places: 711 stood for General Washington. This sample adds a leading zero to create six four-digit search targets. That padding is a modern puzzle rule-not a claim about historical messages.
The Collected Casebooks
Three casebooks. One place to investigate.
10 words - 16 x 16 grid
Reuses Historic True Crime C02-S1, The Great Brink's Robbery, unchanged. The collection combines Historic, Art, and Modern casebooks; it does not include the new Heists, Cons, or Codes editions.
