Yeah, i might end up doing it this way as it's a simpler lift.  I just thought it would be cool if the device you're hacking into can be used to control the lock directly.

[Parents Corner] How would you set up a hackable safe?

Use a normal keypad safe whose code you can change.

Every day, post a puzzle whose solution is the code to the safe. It's a lot more flexible than a safe that he hacks once and is done with.

You can also vary the puzzle's difficulty by his level. So start off easy (57 x 23) and get harder (what's the last olympics whose year was also a square number?)

Or if that's too math-y, you can do something like "A hacker left a note in ASCII: 50 48 48 48. Decode the values to find the 4-digit number"
