Cipher Pursuit

Cipher Pursuit resources are self-checking digital activities created in Google Sheets. In these activities, students answer a series of content-based questions to gradually reveal pieces of a hidden cryptogram. As students enter correct answers, the resource provides instant feedback and helps them uncover the mystery code word.

Cipher Pursuit activities are perfect for independent practice, classwork, homework, stations, test prep, or sub plans. Since these resources are self-checking, students can work at their own pace while receiving immediate feedback as they go. We especially love these for days when students need meaningful review, but you need something low-prep, structured, and easy to assign.

Cipher Pursuit activities help students build independence while staying engaged in academic practice. The self-checking format gives students quick feedback, while the cryptogram adds a game-like layer that motivates them to keep going. They’re also a great way to save prep time while still giving students a purposeful, interactive review activity.
