Christopher Molnar: The version 2017062002 fixes the above problem.

Hi, thank you so much for the update. The Cryptex word box has disappeared though, whether activities have been upgraded or newly created - only the questions are visible. I've tried on both Moodle 3.2 and 3.3 with version 2017062002.

Hi Vasilis,

I seem to get the following error when upgrading to Moodle 3.3+ and MariaDB 10.2, using plugin version 2017062002
