Set a key, turn the disks to encode a message and then decode it. Escape room prop, made in USA. : Toys & Games Review: Beautiful Cipher - This is a really nice, well-made cipher. It is a work of art just to look at and fun to use to send messages. We got one for each of our kids and one for ourselves. I would have loved to have one of these when I was a kid. It is precisely made, and the letters and numbers are easy to read. I also like the history behind it and the fact that it was actually used by the Mexican Army. I highly recommend it. Review: Yet another really interesting historical item from Creative Crafthouse. - I like this particular cipher device because it encrypts letters into numbers. It is well made and has some heft to it. I like the fact that this particular encrypting system is very hard to crack if you know some of the tricks to employ with the wheel. Even if someone else has the same wheel, it doesn't mean that they can decode your messages as easily as compared to some of the other cipher systems. Some people may prefer what is called the "Janelle Cipher Wheel" because it also allows you to send numbers within your messages. The Mexican Army Cipher is just about as diverse and less expensive. If you are creative, this version of the disk will more than suit your needs in encryption. ## Features - A real working cipher, not a plastic novelty: Four turning disks against a fixed letter ring give over 450,000 possible key settings. Set a key, turn the disks to convert each letter into a two-digit number, then decode it back with the same key. Best for escape room builders, codebreaking fans, and history buffs. - A genuine piece of cryptography history: A faithful wooden reproduction of the Mexican Army Cipher Disk, a real homophonic substitution cipher from the early twentieth century. You work an actual historical method by hand, not a made-up gimmick. - Handmade in our Hudson, Florida workshop: Each wheel is cut and assembled from cherry wood, and the numbers are deep laser-engraved so they read clearly while the disks turn smoothly. Made in the USA by a small family business. - Know the size before you buy: The assembled wheel measures 6 inches across and 1 inch tall, a solid desk-sized object you set and turn by hand. Made for ages 14 and up. - A standout gift and escape room prop: Drop it into an escape room or mystery hunt, use it for geocaching or sending coded notes, or give it to a puzzle solver, spy-fiction reader, or history fan who likes a message only the right key can open. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00M664TBM | | Additional Features | Fully functional cipher, Handmade, Laser engraved, Made in USA, Solid wood | | Age Range Description | Teen | | Best Sellers Rank | #27,235 in Handmade Products ( See Top 100 in Handmade Products ) #1,513 in Handmade Toys & Games #2,546 in 3-D Puzzles | | Brand Name | Creative Crafthouse | | Color | Brown | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 96 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Logical Thinking | | Included Components | Printed instruction sheet, Three encoded practice messages, Wooden cipher wheel | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Item Dimensions | 6 x 6 x 0.04 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W | 6"L x 6"W | | Item Highlight | Working wooden cipher.

It is a work of art just to look at and fun to use to send messages. We got one for each of our kids and one for ourselves. I would have loved to have one of these when I was a kid.

It is well made and has some heft to it. I like the fact that this particular encrypting system is very hard to crack if you know some of the tricks to employ with the wheel. Even if someone else has the same wheel, it doesn't mean that they can decode your messages as easily as compared to some of the other cipher systems.

If you are creative, this version of the disk will more than suit your needs in encryption. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fun for kids or adults *by G***Y on May 20, 2021* Spent a ton of time looking for cipher or decoder toys, and this stood out from the pack. Excellent quality, and I love that's it's made in the USA. The key can be changed each time a message/cipher is created, and there are multiple numbers for each letter, making it much more versatile than the other cipher toys I saw. We've had a blast with it. Would buy again to have another or as a gift for friends. ## Frequently Bought Together - Escape Room Prop - Cipher Wheel and Decoder Disk - Mexican Army Cipher for Room Escape Games, Spy, and Detective Kits - Made in The USA | Creative Crafthouse - Cryptex Da Vinci Code Mini Cryptex Lock Puzzle Boxes with Hidden Compartments Anniversary Valentine's Day Romantic Birthday Gifts for Her Gifts for Girlfriend Box for Men - Runes Cipher for Escape Rooms - Decoder Disk - Escape Room Prop --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/13776366-creative-crafthouse-mexican-army-cipher-wheel-wooden-5-disk-decoder](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/13776366-creative-crafthouse-mexican-army-cipher-wheel-wooden-5-disk-decoder) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-10-16*
