Valentines Puzzles

So my awesome hubby started my Valentines early


Today at work I got the following message:

SZKKB EZOVMGRMVH WZB.
ZDZB DV TL!!
TLLW OFXP. TLWHKEEW.

Yes... Matt created a cryptic code that I had to crack. Once I figured it out I called him feeling victorious. He then told me this was just the beginning. There are still 3 more codes.

The answer to the above message is written in white. If you want to know the answer highlight HERE ---> Happy Valentines Day. Away we go! Good Luck. Godspeed.


So I got home and this was given to me

(KQI are my initials)
Inside I found candy and a long strip of paper

At this point Matt told me it was a Scytale. So I walked around the house trying to find out what he used to wrap it around to figure out the message.

The object was a whiffle ball bat and the message was:
Find the Vessel of the Builders

So that is where I am on the hunt right now... Builders Vessel??? Cup, bowl? Boat?

I'll keep you posted. So what are your plans for Valentines Day? Does it involve invisible ink and metal detectors? I have a feeling that's where we are heading.
