It is a work of art just to look at and fun to use to send messages. We got one for each of our kids and one for ourselves. I would have loved to have one of these when I was a kid. It is precisely made, and the letters and numbers are easy to read. I also like the history behind it and the fact that it was actually used by the Mexican Army. I highly recommend it. Review: Yet another really interesting historical item from Creative Crafthouse. - I like this particular cipher device because it encrypts letters into numbers. It is well made and has some heft to it. I like the fact that this particular encrypting system is very hard to crack if you know some of the tricks to employ with the wheel. Even if someone else has the same wheel, it doesn't mean that they can decode your messages as easily as compared to some of the other cipher systems. Some people may prefer what is called the "Janelle Cipher Wheel" because it also allows you to send numbers within your messages. The Mexican Army Cipher is just about as diverse and less expensive. If you are creative, this version of the disk will more than suit your needs in encryption. ## Features - VINTAGE MILITARY PUZZLE: Step back in time with this state-of-the-art encryption machine used during the conflict between Mexico and the USA before World War I - LASER ENGRAVED: The wood used is alder and the numbers are deeply laser engraved on the smooth lacquered surface. The largest wheel is just under 6” in diameter and ¼” thick. The remaining wheels are either 5/32” or 1/8” thick. - EASY TO USE: The machine comes with clear instructions and 3 encoded messages to decode, providing hours of stimulating entertainment. Easily incorporate the Mexican Army Cipher Wheel prop into your escape room game experience. - POWERFUL ENCODING TOOL: Note that over 450,000 key unique key codes are possible to set the machine at. Made in the USA by Creative Crafthouse in our Hudson FL shop - GREAT GIFT FOR ADULTS: Perfect for history enthusiasts, puzzle lovers, and anyone who enjoys a mental challenge; impress your friends and family with your code-breaking skills ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00M664TBM | | Additional Features | Portable | | Age Range Description | Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #407,522 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #2,432 in 3-D Puzzles | | Brand Name | Creative Crafthouse | | Color | Light Brown to Reddish-brown | | Customer Package Type | Standard Packaging | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 out of 5 stars 96 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Letter Recognition | | Included Components | Clear instructions, 3 encoded messages, potential custom name/logo for escape room businesses | | Indoor Outdoor Usage | Indoor | | Is Assembly Required | No | | Item Dimensions | 6 x 6 x 0.04 inches | | Item Dimensions L x W | 6"L x 6"W | | Item Shape | Sphere | | Item Weight | 0.2 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Creative Crafthouse | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 156.00 | | Manufacturer Part Number | FBA_MexicanCipher | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Number | MexicanCipher | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Number of Players | 1 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Play Activity Location | Tabletop | | Power Source | Manual | | Product Style | Classic | | Puzzle Type | Sequential Movement | | Set Name | Encoded Messages Set | | Size | 6 inches | | Skill Level | All | | Subject Character | Army,Mexican | | Theme | Military | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | ## Images ![Creative Crafthouse Mexican Army Cipher Wheel, Wooden Decoder Disk | Working wooden cipher.

Excellent quality, and I love that's it's made in the USA. The key can be changed each time a message/cipher is created, and there are multiple numbers for each letter, making it much more versatile than the other cipher toys I saw. We've had a blast with it. Would buy again to have another or as a gift for friends. ## Frequently Bought Together - Escape Room Prop - Cipher Wheel and Decoder Disk - Mexican Army Cipher for Room Escape Games, Spy, and Detective Kits - Made in The USA | Creative Crafthouse - Cryptex Da Vinci Code Mini Cryptex Lock Puzzle Boxes with Hidden Compartments Anniversary Valentine's Day Romantic Birthday Gifts for Her Gifts for Girlfriend Box for Men - Runes Cipher for Escape Rooms - Decoder Disk - Escape Room Prop --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/13776366-creative-crafthouse-mexican-army-cipher-wheel-wooden-decoder-disk-working](https://www.desertcart.com.om/products/13776366-creative-crafthouse-mexican-army-cipher-wheel-wooden-decoder-disk-working) --- *Product available on Desertcart Oman* *Store origin: OM* *Last updated: 2026-07-26*
