Where do I even start?
Everything mysterious about this card is on the back. The front is strictly contact information.
Do you see anything immediately obvious on the back, as far as some kind of secret code?
There is Morse Code around the puzzle piece in the center.
Starting at the vertical divider line, the Morse Code reads:
CAN YOU FIND FOUR SECRET WORDS
I've deciphered the main message. Where else do I look?
Look for red. Three of the four coded words use red of some kind.
The fourth uses squares nestled within the decorative swoopy designs.
What kinds of codes are there?
Morse code circles the puzzle piece in the middle.
The other codes are: semaphore, binary, braille, and pigpen.
Where, exactly, are the codes used?
Semaphore flowers are near the corners.
Two pair of binary pips are on left and right, toward the center.
There are braille dots on the fleur-de-lis-like flourishes at the north, east, south, and west of the card.
Four pigpen figures are near the four semaphore flowers.
What, exactly, do the codes say?
Semaphore flowers: CODE
Binary pips: BARS
Braille dots on the fleur-de-lis: TEAM
Pigpen figures: BEER
