Hello,

A long time ago, I sent some keys using a cryptic game.
I'm returning with some digital board games, and a quest.
You have 24 hours to solve it.

The games to win, and the keys to solve the puzzle:

Sagrada
1-32-26-74-15

Scythe: Digital Edition
36-67-23-39-47

Terraforming Mars
71-74-6-37-28

Terraforming Mars: Prelude
61-4-91-26-92

Terraforming Mars: Hellas & Elysium
6-43-58-81-31

Wingspan
77-83-18-51-41

And last but not least. A little text to help you find the games:

The Game begins.
A Quiz to get games.
Nothing is secret.
And the answer is here.
First exercise your mind:
Can those numbers help you?
Solve quickly.
Type the key.
Obtain the game.

Hmmm, is the text NEEDED for the solving? Or does it hold a hint? You said "text to help", but im not sure how to take that hahaha

I love board games, but there's only really 1 idea that presents itself to me here, and it doesn't work!

There appears to be something wrong with the code for Terraforming Mars: Prelude... unless I'm making some silly mistake over and over again, it seems that the solution does not lead to a valid giveaway (you can confirm that I've solved the puzzle since I've entered into all of the previous games). You might wish to confirm whether the correct code was given!

Now that I've finished the rest, I can confirm that all other codes are valid. It is only Terraforming Mars: Prelude that is failing to lead to a giveaway.

As the first to decrypt the code, there's something for you I sent through Steam chat.

Oh, thank you very much! Apparently the Steam mobile app doesn't alert me to messages, so I didn't see the message until now. :P

There's an error for Terraforming Mars: Prelude
The code should be 61-4-91-26-92

You can edit your original post btw for those that miss this correction. Click the "Open" on the top right and you should see "Edit discussion". I can confirm that this is the right code.

Here's the solution.
There are two types of numbers: one digit and two digits.
The one-digit numbers stand for themselves.
The two-digit numbers give you letters.
For example, 36. Line 3, 6th character: n

Sagrada
1-32-26-74-15
1 → 1
32 → o
26 → z
74 → v
15 → G

Thanks for the solution. I was on the right track with the numbers but thought he two digit numbers corresponded with the alphabet some how. Thanks anyways!

Could you be a little more specific?
What does 'Line 3' mean?
and how would I know if the letter is uppercase or lowercase?

Line 3 in the text is "Nothing is secret."
Its 6th character is n lowercase.

To decode 15, you look at line 1 of the text, which is "The Game begins."
Its 5th character is G uppercase.

Damn and I thought all number stands for the overall position of letter in the whole text, didn't think about line at all

Had the right idea, but should have applied them both. Got lazy at the prospect of not knowing if the nth character was gonna by "natural" without considering spaces, without considering punctuation, without considering both.... lots of options. Thanks for the puzzle! You should make more.
