If you solve the overall puzzle and find the correct location in the city, you can contact me via any method of communication that you have.

I tried to convert the images to PDF but it makes them unreadable due to compression. I’m not sure how to reduce it.

No worries Scott.
Just started this tonight. Done the word search (almost
). I'm not a member of any Masonic group but, luckily, I do keep pigs. I like to keep them safe and secure; all fenced in. Can't figure out the four letter word yet though...
Edit: Ahhhh, got the word. Getting there slowly... just need the key to open the door
Another edit: And that's my problem... I can't find a logical way to open the door

Haha, I used a keyed cipher to avoid brute-forcing, but apparently you're determined to solve it backwards.

My problem is the logic of how to find the key from the puzzle. It makes absolutely no sense to me. Hoping for a nudge in the right direction...

As you will know from doing word search puzzles, only some of the letters are used by the words, which means there are letters left over. You will have more letters left over than you need, but the letters you need for the hidden word are the first however many from left-to-right, top-to-bottom.

That bit I know. It's the key to the cipher that I'm struggling with. It does not appear to be all that logical (to me anyway). I might try and solve the cipher, like Challa, and try and retro fit the key to the cipher back to the puzzle to try and understand how you're supposed to find out the key in the first place.
