Feeling like a kid again with my Official Decoder Ring!

I confess I started my decoding utilizing a printout of a picture of the decoder badge. But it didn't take long for me to get hooked on secret messages so I knew I had to get my very own official top secret DART decoder bad and join the Club. I love it. I feel like a kid again in a very good way. Never had anything like this before. It is well made and easy to use. If I could change one thing, I would actually like it better without the pin on the back, as I am unlikely to wear it and I think decoding would be easier if it could lay flat. But that's a minor point. This item brings me joy. The fun never ends with the HPL HS.

Now I can find the secrect messages!

If your a DART fan and you don't own this, get it now. It is well made and the dial is smooth, a pin on the back makes it easy to pin on a jacket. It also makes listening to DART a lot more fun!

Great fun, small cavet.

A wonderful way to amuse oneself with period era fun. The codes that are available are numerous and fun to decode. The extra ones found in the Dark Adventure Radio Theatre radio plays are extra fun as well. I like the decoder badges quality, however the wheel is mis-sized. I am not upset with this, just a little disappointed with the finish. Would recommend to anyone who likes this sort of thing.

Great Fun - sending to my nephew

I enjoyed the Decoder I purchased a while back. It’s so well made and the design is beguiling. Just for fun, it can be worn as a pin as well.
I decided to order another to be sent to my nephew’s little boy to allow us to share coded messages. He is such a math wiz and may enjoy this. I will send him cryptic postcard messages.
