One hundred and forty nine students formed 62 teams representing colleges, universities, and high schools from France, Idaho, Illonois, Massachusetts, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennslyvania, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, and Wisconsin.

Thirty-six teams finished at least one of the Challenges and 15 completed all three. The Kryptos CodeMasters appreciate all the hard work teams and individuals put into working on these challenging ciphers.
