Can You Break the Code?

Do you have what it takes to find the clues? Are you prepared for perilous and thrilling adventures? Then you might just have what it takes to be a member of the Dark Adventure Decoder Club!

Our custom decoder badge will allow you to decode secret messages artfully hidden in Dark Adventure shows and elsewhere. This invaluable tool is inspired by "decoder rings" of the pulp era and lets you in on a world of bygone fun. No previous experience in cryptography is necessary.

Your Dark Adventure Decoder Badge features adjustable concentric alphanumeric rings to help you quickly use a key to break a cypher. It's made of high quality cast metal with a pin on the back so you can easily affix it to your lapel. It also comes with a handy instruction booklet and a series of sample codes for you to practice with. Soon you'll be able to suss out the secret messages in the HPLHS' monthly encoded dispatches to the Decoder Club and in episodes of Dark Adventure Radio Theatre®!

2.5 inches high and 1.5 inches wide.

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.

Adds extra fun to fun times

Maybe something is wrong with me. But I love codes and such. I just started with DART its going to be an experience for sure

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.

Great movie!

This is a great movie, felt like you were watching an old movie from the '30s or '40s, Another great job from HPLHS just like the radio programs. I highly recommend this movie. The only thing that would have made it better is offering the movie in a color version too. Please HPLHS make more movies to!

Lovely!!!

I've only had a chance to leaf through it so far, but it is gorgeous. I can't wait to read all of the scholarship!

More meat on the bone

Trust me, I'm a cultist. I love the HPL genre. If you are even here reading this, you could do worse than purchase this useful set if items. If you simply love the stories, the booklet and postcard photos will add to your mental picture. Oh, and the map. If you care about the man himself, then those items (and the map) will help your understanding. If you roleplay and, like me, like characters in depth, with wallets and pockets full of period bits like tourist guides, bus tickets, wallets and so on, this set will help. Oh, and the map, too.
I would buy this set just for the map, and then look at the other bits and celebrate the bonus. But the period map - which appears, much smaller, in "Night Black Deeds" - is a treasure. Maybe for historic, or nostalgic reasons, but some of us, whether planning an RPG or toying with a story idea set in the town, will love the detail of knowing lot numbers and locations of key buildings. I swear, an image search for "Providence 1930" could lead to a whole project, creating "Google Street View 1930", using this map.
To put it more succintly - this set is worth owning. It's fun, and it's fascinating.

Such a wonderful set, I would have loved the pdfs of the modules though.

I bought this set a s a gift for my Dad, he bought the original when he was just a bit younger then me, and I run the game all the time so I thought it'd be a nice surprise. Both of us are just blown away by the quality of everything, there's so much there! Of course I got it along with the props to complete the experience and I highly recommend doing the same if you're considering it.

The only gripe I have is that, since I want my father to keep the box set over at his house for display, I need to buy pdfs of the included campaigns and scenarios as they don't come with this set, that's a bit of a bummer.
