Attention all codebreakers! This summer, report for duty at the Bank of England Museum to receive a very important mission. Help fellow decoder Alan Turing discover the passcode to the gold vaults by following clues, solving puzzles and completing activities. Do you have what it takes to crack the code and make it into the gold vaults? 

This activity is free and drop-in, with no need to book ahead. Aimed at young codebreakers age 8 to 11 years. Head to the Museum’s Information Desk to get started on your Code Breaker booklet.
