How Declass works

WW2 Dispatches posts cards from history every day. Each one comes with a classified envelope here. Declassify it, turn the cards, and build your dossier of the war.

Every post brings an envelope

Envelopes usually come out in the morning (10:00 a.m. ET) and the evening (7:00 p.m. ET), and each stays open for 24 hours.
A new post on our accounts is your signal that an envelope is out.

Open one

Choose one of three sealed envelopes. Inside are three cards. The morning envelope always holds the day's dispatch plus two from the archive; the evening envelope is three from the archive.
Tap a card to turn it over, then swipe to the next.

Collect the finishes

Every card comes in Copper, Silver, Gold, or the rare Top Secret, set by luck. Each finish is its own spot in your dossier.
Some cards also come as Living Cards, with real archival film playing on them.

Keep your streak

Open at least one envelope a day. Every third day earns a priority envelope full of cards from the deep archive.

Earn Intel, request cards

Every envelope earns Intel, and duplicates turn into Intel too. Spend it to request any card you're missing, in any finish.
As your dossier grows, you're promoted up the ranks.

Envelope types

Morning and evening envelopes

One comes out with each card we post, open for 24 hours. The morning envelope holds that day's dispatch and two cards from the last 90 days of the archive. The evening envelope holds three archive cards, so the day's evening card has to be found or requested.

Sunday deep archive

The Sunday morning envelope reaches much further back. Its two archive cards can come from anywhere in the archive, all the way to the first dispatch, and it is one of the few places Name This cards turn up.

Priority envelope

Your reward for every third day of a streak. All three cards come from the whole archive. Priority envelopes never expire, and you can save up as many as you like.

Commemorative file

On the war's biggest days, at least one every month, everyone gets an extra black and gold file: that day's Flash card plus three cards from the whole archive. The next ones are always listed under Incoming Flash traffic on the home screen. It stays open for three days and does not count toward your streak.

Starter pack

Your first file, free: five cards, today's dispatch plus one from each series, with at least one Silver or better. You can open it before signing in.

Last call

Missed yesterday's envelope? It stays at the top of Today's files, marked Last call, until its 24 hours run out. After that it is gone, though its card can still turn up later in the archive.

The odds are the same in every envelope, for everyone. Choosing one of the three envelopes adds suspense, not luck.

Finishes and odds

Odds for every archive card you pull. Living Cards are the rarer prize.

Finish	Still card	Living Card
Copper	about 5 in 8	about 1 in 10
Silver	about 1 in 6	about 1 in 23
Gold	about 1 in 24	about 1 in 48
Top Secret	about 1 in 480	about 1 in 400
Any finish	about 5 in 6	about 1 in 6

Each card has a spot for every finish. A Copper and a Gold of the same card are two different cards in your dossier, and you won't see what a finish looks like until you pull it.
Top Secret cards carry a worldwide serial: the order that copy was pulled among every player in the world. Serial 0014 means it was the 14th Top Secret of that card anyone pulled.
The day's dispatch card in the morning envelope is always a still card: about 1 in 5 come Silver, 1 in 20 Gold, and 1 in 400 Top Secret.
The starter pack never holds a Top Secret.

Living Cards

When a dispatch has real archival film, it also exists as a Living Card: the same card with the film playing on it. Tap the speaker for the film's period sound when it has one.
Living Cards only come from the archive, in about 1 in 6 archive cards. When one does turn up, it is more likely than a still card to carry a better finish. A Living Card has its own four finish spots.

Flash cards

On the war's biggest days we post a Flash card: a full art card unlike anything else in the dossier, with no frame at all. There are only a handful a year, and every one is always Top Secret.
The Flash days, at least one every month: Stalingrad (31 January), Iwo Jima (19 February), Remagen (7 March), the Doolittle Raid (18 April), VE Day (8 May), Midway (4 June), D Day (6 June), Trinity (16 July), VJ Day (15 August), the first and last days of the war (1 and 2 September), Battle of Britain Day (15 September), Leyte Gulf (25 October), Tarawa (20 November), Pearl Harbor (7 December), and the Bulge (16 December). A new Flash card every year for each.
Everyone who opens that day's commemorative file gets it. Miss the file and it can still turn up later, about 1 in 200 archive cards.
Flash cards carry no worldwide serial. It is not a race to log on first.

Name This cards

Our Name This puzzles are their own suit. They join the archive once their answer is public, and they only turn up in deep archive envelopes: the Sunday morning envelope, priority envelopes, and commemorative files.
Turn one over, take a guess, then tap again to stamp the answer.

Streaks

A day counts when you open at least one morning or evening envelope. Days run midnight to midnight Eastern time.
Every third day of a streak earns a priority envelope. Miss a day and the streak starts over.
Priority envelopes, commemorative files, and the starter pack don't count toward the streak.

Intel and requests

Every envelope you open earns 5 Intel: morning, evening, Sunday deep archive, priority, and commemorative.
Duplicates turn into Intel the moment you turn them: a duplicate Copper is worth 1, Silver 4, Gold 15. The first copy of every finish is always kept. Top Secret copies are never converted; each keeps its worldwide serial.
Request any card ever posted, in any finish, from a sealed spot in your dossier or a missing card in Sets. Copper costs 20 Intel, Silver 75, Gold 250, Top Secret 750, and a Flash card 750. A Living Card costs half again as much. Today's cards can't be requested; open today's envelope instead.
A requested card arrives in a small Requisition envelope. A requested Top Secret takes the next worldwide serial, just like one pulled from an envelope. Requests can't be refunded.

Ranks

Every finish of every card you hold fills a spot in your dossier. As your dossier grows, you're promoted. Requested cards count too.
Ranks are never lost. Your rank and your progress to the next one sit at the top of the home screen.

Locked envelopes

Your cards are yours the moment an envelope opens. If you leave before turning them all, they wait for you on the home screen.
Until you turn them, your other envelopes stay locked. Tap the waiting cards button to finish turning them.

Your dossier and sets

Browse by series, by year, or all at once. The four small squares under each card show which finishes you hold, and ▶︎ means a Living Card exists for it.
Monthly files: hold every card posted in a month to earn that month's COMPLETE stamp when the month closes. Catch up later and the stamp still comes, dated the day you finished.
Collections (a series, a year, a theater, a nation) earn copper, silver, and gold pins at 25, 50, and 100 different cards. Duplicates don't count toward pins.

Code Room · a Declass daily puzzle

Find the links between the files.

Every day brings twelve cards hiding four groups of three. The three cards in a group share something in common: the same battle, the same ship, the same person, a place or subject, or something you can see in all three photos. Find all four groups.
Select three cards and tap File it. Right, and they're clipped together with the link. Wrong, and you get a REJECTED stamp. Three stamps and the files close, and you see every link you missed.
The same three cards twice never counts against you. Find three links and the last one files itself.
The date and series on a card are never the link. Tap the magnifier on any card to see it full size.
No clock: take as long as you like. Today's files close at midnight Eastern time, and new ones are dealt.
Every player gets their own grid, so there are no answers to look up.
Score: 25 for every link, minus 10 for every mistake. A perfect solve scores 100.
Intel: 3 for playing, plus 15 for a perfect 100, 10 for 90, 5 for 80 or 70, and 2 if the files beat you.
Solve it, pick a card. Solve it perfectly, it's Silver or better. Pick any one of the twelve, even one you don't own yet (those carry a wax seal). The four squares under each card show the finishes you already hold: Copper, Silver, Gold, and Top Secret. The finish is set by luck, and a finish you already hold turns into Intel like any duplicate. Flash cards can turn up in the files, but they can't be picked. A Living Card in the files comes as its living variant.
The Code Room doesn't count toward your streak.
