Hi, there.
Are you the Hunters?
Yeah, we are. All right.
You got a package.
[delivery man] There you go.
Thank you.
Enjoy your day.
Maybe it's a welcome gift.
You know, a welcome home gift for Erik and Kate.
With little soaps and slippers and stuff.
I don't think so, Anika. We don't live in a hotel.
Well, we should! Can we open a hotel?
Definitely not!
Maybe it's another trick from Saganash.
Uh-uh.
I'm pretty sure my dad's done
playing tricks on you guys.
Maybe it's candy! Lots of it!
OKay, I have a crazy idea.
We should open it. What?
Can I do it?Well, knock yourself out.
[Sal] Whoa... A cryptex.
Of course Sal knows what it is.
What's a "creep-text?"
Is it like a creepy text? 'Cause I get those sometimes.
But they're usually from Tess.
Cryptex, not "creep-text."
It's an ancient puzzle,
kinda like a combination lock.
But way more complicated.
How does it work?
Turn these dials until they're all in the right order,
and then you can pull it open.
That doesn't sound way more complicated than
a combination lock.
It sounds exactly like a combination lock.
A cryptex uses letters instead of numbers.
The sequence of letters
usually spells out a word...
a secret password.
I'll have this thing open in no time.
Piece of cake!
