In 2022, the Christmas Challenge was back with an additional twist!
It once again features seven puzzles based on the seven disciplines of languages, engineering, codebreaking, analysis, maths, coding and cyber security - all key skills needed at GCHQ to help keep the country safe.
Once all seven puzzles are solved, you need to use the design on the front of the card to assemble the answers, forming three separate what3words locations. Joining the three place names together will reveal a special festive answer, for that bonus puzzling fun.
How did you get on? You can test whether you were indeed correct.
