  • The symbols on the grid - you basically use your finger to follow from symbol to symbol so the first line would make you draw out a letter h etc.

  • Put a piece of paper over the hexagonal grid in the pack and trace between the symbols using a pencil, the lines will look like letters

  • That's what I was doing at the start until I realised I was probably overthinking it! Once I got the email address I sent it a blank mail and got an auto-reply with another riddle and a key

    the hyperlink took me here;

    Then it was a case of putting the coin on the cipher wheel but the 2 riddles gave it away anyway;
    "It dropped unseen through weighted air"
