The UK intelligence and security organization commonly known as GCHQ (Government Communications Headquarters), has published its annual Christmas card puzzle for Christmas 2022.
The 2022 #GCHQChristmaspuzzle features seven tricky puzzles based on the seven disciplines of language, engineering, code-breaking, analysis, arithmetic, coding and cyber security, all of which are crucial competencies GCHQ needs to help keep the nation.
Aside from the seven riddles, there’s a major twist to this year’s Christmas card riddle. Once all seven puzzles have been solved, players must use their creativity to put the solutions together and create three *what3words locations using the Christmas tree shown on the front of the card.
The three place names will then need to be joined together to form GCHQ’s unique festive response.
