Forget boring math drills! You are now a secret agent, and your mission is to use your multiplication skills to uncover classified information. You must complete three phases to succeed. Good luck, agent.


Phase 1: Build Your Cipher Key

To decode the secret message, you first need to calculate the value for each letter in your cipher. Solve the multiplication problems below to find the correct number for each letter.

  • A = 15 x 15 = _____
  • B = 12 x 13 = _____
  • C = 25 x 5 = _____
  • D = 40 x 8 = _____
  • E = 18 x 11 = _____
  • F = 7 x 21 = _____
  • G = 16 x 8 = _____
  • I = 30 x 9 = _____
  • L = 22 x 6 = _____
  • M = 19 x 10 = _____
  • O = 17 x 9 = _____
  • P = 24 x 7 = _____
  • R = 35 x 4 = _____
  • S = 13 x 14 = _____
  • U = 11 x 11 = _____

Phase 2: Find the Pyramid Passcode

This ancient pyramid contains a secret passcode at its peak. To find it, you must multiply the two numbers in adjacent blocks to find the value of the block directly above them. Work your way from the bottom to the top to find the final passcode.

2 3 2 5

Final Passcode: _______________

Phase 3: Decrypt the Secret Message

Mission success is within your grasp! Use the answers from Phase 1 to substitute the numbers below with their corresponding letters. Write the letters in the blank spaces to reveal the secret message.

225 128 140 153 121 168 153 147 168 121 128 182 270 182

125 225 132 132 198 320 225 128 140 121 190 156 132 198
