The main mission of the ENIGMA Cipher Centre is to raise awareness that the story of breaking the Enigma code began here in Poznań, thanks to brilliant Polish mathematicians. The centre offers a journey through the mysteries of encryption, codebreaking, and mathematics, from ancient times to the present day. ENIGMA is fully interactive, allowing visitors of all ages to try their hand at cracking codes.
A visit to the ENIGMA Cipher Centre is an exciting mental workout, with time passing surprisingly quickly. Visitors can take part in a course on encrypting and decrypting coded messages, exploring some of the most fascinating methods used from ancient times to the 20th century. Every visitor to the ENIGMA Cipher Centre can engage in puzzles, riddles, and codebreaking challenges – an extraordinary, intellectually stimulating, and immersive experience with varying levels of difficulty.
We recommend allowing at least three hours for your visit, so you don’t feel rushed. After all, true genius matures in tranquillity. The puzzles at ENIGMA are both a challenge and a rewarding experience for anyone interested in codebreaking.
