Create multiple hints which decrypt one at a time

Recommended Posts

I’m hiding a cache for which I would like to create multiple encrypted hints, BUT I don’t want the hints to be decrypted all at once. Instead, I would like each hint to be decrypted one at a time. Example: cacher goes to decrypt hints and the first is revealed but the rest stays encrypted. The cacher hits decrypt again and the second hit is revealed, etc. 

 

I’m pretty certain this can be done. I seem to remember coming across a few caches where this had been done. Also I recall another cacher explaining it to me a long time ago, but I don’t remember to trick to doing if. 
 

if anybody knows how this is done, could you please explain with as much detail as possible?  Thanks

One possibility would be to enter the hint like this:

 

[Hint 1:] gentle hint

[Hint 2: fgebat uvag]

[Spoiler: fcbvyre uvag]

 

Then the system will encrypt it to this:

 

[Hint 1:] tragyr uvag

[Hint 2: fgebat uvag]

[Spoiler: fcbvyre uvag]

 

And only the first hint will be decrypted automatically.

One way is yo use certitude to give the hints.

 

For example:

The code word " hint 1" gives the word black.

 

Then create an certitude for  waypoint #1 with the code word "hint 2" and an new given hint.

 

The link to this is copied into the certitude for "hint 1".

 

Repeat for so many levels you want to give.
