The Grand Grid I

Puzzling Asked by Joshua Bizley on January 4, 2021

This is the first in a series I am calling The Grand Grid. Each involves a logic grid puzzle that is solved by gathering clues presented in variously obscured forms. The description of the grid puzzle itself is part of the puzzle. The text forms may be Scytale, Caesar, Keyed Caesar, or Vigenère.
