Set the code for a code-locked step

Pick the word or number your recipient has to type.

Before you start

You need a step whose unlock method is set to Enter a code. See Add a step if you haven't done that yet.

In the step editor, open the step (or start a new one) and set How does this step unlock? to the code option. A box labeled Code to accept appears.
Type the code you want your player to enter. It can be a word, a number, a short phrase — whatever fits your clue (for example, SUNDAY).
Select Save step. The code is saved, and the step now shows a CODE TO ACCEPT line so you can see it at a glance.

Capitalization doesn't matter. If you set the code to SUNDAY, your player can type “sunday,” “Sunday,” or “SUNDAY” and it will work.
Keep it easy to type on a phone. Short, clear codes work best — avoid tricky punctuation or characters that are hard to find on a mobile keyboard.
Make the code findable. The whole point is that your player can work it out — from a sign, a date, an inside joke, or the step's hint. Set a hint for when they're stuck.
You can change the code anytime before the step is completed. Open the step, edit the Code to accept box, and save again.

“An unlock code must be added” → The code box was empty when you tried to save. Add a code and save again.
Your player says “The code does not match” → They typed something different from what you set. Capitalization isn't the issue (it's ignored), but extra spaces or a different word will be. Double-check the exact code on your step, and make sure your clue points clearly to it.
