Homefront Code needs crackin at G4

So Zazzle allows you to print KOREAN stamps?!? That's good to know... Wink

With the copyright symbol and "Guide" being capitalized, my first thought would be a book cypher. But somehow it doesn't look like we have enough information for that.

Yeah, I was thinking it was a simple substitution, once we figure out what letter corresponds with a number it would be k=c or something, but so far I haven't had luck with this.

I was looking into this, and the main bulk appears to be a correspondence, in which case the last bit: -5 33 37 96 15 15 70 would be a signature. Given the Adam Sessler is supposed to be the rebel leader, I thought that may be related... So, I hope that helps at all.

Not sure if this helps much, but the signature in the larger code text is also the very last segment of the smaller code text. Once the signature is deciphered maybe yuo can solve the smaller code and use that as a key.

Those look like QR codes on the 'stamps'. Is that just part of the Zazzle signature (Never used Zazzle myself) or do they need to be decoded?

I'm pretty sure the guide they are referring to is the little booklet that can be found here :
http://www.homefront-game.com/index.html#/timeline
on page 16 (year 2025)

There is no copyright symbol in the booklet as far as I can tell.
So far I have been looking at text passages that had patterns similar to those in the numbers, but I didn't see any obvious correlation yet.

Further confirmation that the booklet is referred to as guide can be obtained from the video on this page :

Looks like some guy on twitter got the same envelope. They had it deciphered by the 21st but seem to have also found a link for google maps additionally to the image of the chip.

I tried my best to solve it, but I'm glad better minds beat me to it. I went back to figure out the reasoning for the numeric substitution, and there is a pattern which may explain the copyright symbol:

Yeah, no real idea on the basis for the code. Minz: He's the community manager at destructoid.com, surprised I didn't see it posted there since I get everything on that site in my rss. Good find though.
