Welcome to the Cyphers Wiki.

Cyphers is an upcoming website detailing the entire history of Cyan and Cyan-adjacent alternate reality games.

This wiki will be adjacent to the main Cyphers site, where new codes, clues, other events, and discussions therearound can be documented as they happen. Think of the wiki as the raw data behind the PopSci articles on the main site.

The current hot topic is the various ciphers appearing in Cyan's 2021 promotional material. On May 3, 2021, Cyantists expressed a wish in the Cyan Chat Discord for the community to settle on a place (other than Discord) to compile all the solved and unsolved puzzles to date. It is yet unclear as to whether the community will prefer here or a more established wiki like the one at the Guild of Archivists. I like the idea of having a dedicated place for solving puzzles outside Cyan's games — Cyphers was conceived in the weeks preceding this request — but I'm also a fan of discouraging forum proliferation. I leave it to the other fans to decide. 75th Trombone (talk) 23:18, 3 May 2021 (UTC)
