Description

We made these giant cipher gears following a request from an Escape Room in the UK. They came out so well that I thought they may be something others could find creative uses for. The listing is for 1 Gear and you can string together as many as you like.

The gear is 15.75” in diameter. The material is layered, with top layer being a ¼” thick fine maple veneer with MDF core. The back layer is 1/8” Baltic birch plywood that adds strength and rigidity.
The gears have 37 teeth. Each letter of the alphabet is contained along with 10 digits and a period or decimal point. Thus there is great flexibility in setting clues that may need letters, numbers, or both.

The gears are sold individually. If you are creative it may be possible to use a single gear to provide clues if you combine it with some other object. Each gear you order will have a different orientation of letters and numbers, unless you want them to be exactly the same.

You can string 2 or 3 or even more wheels in any pattern where one wheel will turn the others.
There are many potential ways to use the wheels, but here is the most obvious perhaps: By setting one as the start wheel with a marker point on the wall; as that wheel turns the marker point could be aligned to a particular letter that you supply as a clue. The resulting letter or number on the other gear(s) could be the answer. A key word or phrase could be supplied that when dialed in one letter at a time, results in a secret message being revealed.
For a modest fee, we could also customize the text on the gear teeth. They could have any characters, vector artwork, or a language other than English. We could also add text or artwork to the spokes or body of the gear. Please contact us separately for this custom work.
If you want us to create a mounting backboard for each wheel, with a center dowel fixed into position we could provide that also, please contact us at DJ51@aol.com 352-346-5953

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the Jumbo Enigma Cipher Gears?

Giant wooden cipher gears built as an escape room prop. We first made them for an escape room in the United Kingdom, and they work as an oversized encoder for clues and reveals.

Is this one gear or a set?

Each listing is for one gear. You can string together as many as you like, and the gears mesh so one wheel turns the others.

How big are they?

Each gear is 15.75 inches in diameter, large enough to mount on a wall as a room feature.

How many characters are on each gear?

Each gear has 37 teeth carrying the full alphabet, the ten digits, and a period or decimal point, so you can build clues that use letters, numbers, or both.

How do you use them to send a secret message?

Set one gear as the start wheel with a marker point. As it turns, align the marker to a letter or number you supply as a clue. The resulting character on the connected gear gives the answer. Dial a key word in one character at a time to reveal a hidden message.

What are they made of?

A layered build. The top layer is quarter inch fine maple veneer over an MDF core, backed by eighth inch Baltic birch plywood for strength and rigidity.

Will each gear have the same letter arrangement?

Each gear ships with a different orientation of letters and numbers, unless you ask for them to match.

Can you customize the gears?

Yes. For a modest fee we can change the characters on the teeth, add a different language, or add vector artwork or text to the spokes or body. To start a custom order, request a quote for custom work.
