Personal Giveaway - Rock Band Track Pack 2 - PS3 - Sorry, code taken.

[Access_Denied]

I have a spare code for Rock Band Track Pack 2 for PS3. This lets you download the 20 songs contained in the trackpack. But, I can't just give the code away, that wouldn't be any fun. So, I'm going to encrypt the code using a simple form of cryptography. I will post the encrypted code and the first one to crack it, gets the code. I'll post a hint to start out with, and tomorrow, if nobody has gotten it, then I'll post another hint. Anyway, here's the code and hint. Just remember, it's a SIMPLE form of cryptography, don't over think it.

Hints:
1. Try to think geometrically.
2. Caesar might help you out with this one, but only if you remember the first hint.
3. 3x4 (width x height)

Remember the first hint, it's the most important. If no one gets it by tomorrow, I'll post another hint. But it'll pretty much be a dead giveaway, so try to solve it soon. And last I checked (a few minutes ago), the code still worked, so it hasn't been taken yet.

Encrypted code:
MAPL-F9DB-CE2L

Also, please post if you crack it. We don't need people wasting their time on a used code. Good luck. Hope a fellow Rock Band lover gets the code.

I don't get it. More hints please

I dunno. I'm just taking a guess here.

 

[Access_Denied]

Bump. It should become easier now. Remember to use all 3 hints. The 2 I gave you, and Google.

 

[Access_Denied]

Bump. Another hint. The code has not been taken, and it's not just a plain Caesar cipher. There are variations of it.

you sunk my battleship!

Couldn't figure it out until you posted the last clue, but I've been trying since you first posted.

It's a route cipher, http://www.answers.com/topic/transposition-cipher

When I figured that out, I was sure I had it, but had accidentally done 4x3 (wxh) which stumped me for a bit.

Thanks for the code and the challenge! I really appreciate it!

Let me know if I should post the solution. I am leaving it off for now so people can try to figure it out too.

Good job. It can also be called a Caesar box cipher, which is why I posted that clue. Hope you enjoy the code. I don't know if you redeemed it yet or not, so I won't post the solution. If you want to post it, put it in a spoiler.

I might have a 360 code in the future to give away, so keep an eye out for threads by me.

 

[JoKruck]

The code is redeemed and downloaded, and I think I just figured out how to post with a spoiler...

So, here goes the solution ...

Spoiler

The original encrypted code was:
MAPL-F9DB-CE2L

Write the code out three letters wide, wrap to next line at the end of each line, which turns into a box:

MAP
LF9
DBC
E2L

Then reading down, it turns into the code:
MLDE-AFB2-P9CL

Did you redeem on the Playstation or on your computer? Because that's what I got but I tried to redeem it on the computer and it wouldn't take. But maybe you had simply done it before me.

 

[JoKruck]

I redeemed on the playstation. Never tried redeeming a code on the computer before. Solved it at maybe 10:45pm est or so, and waited a few minutes to post until after I had tried to redeem to make sure I actually had the correct solution.

 

[GamerKingFaiz]

Hey I've actually learned about that kinda cipher, but I never thought I'd ever see it, haha.

I will be waiting.

I had tried your solution as well as the box I had pm'd you about and neither worked on the computer. But way to go and enjoy! And a major thanks to the OP for providing a fun mental adventure!
