So there's this book series I read as a kid. It was about a group of kids finding treasure and/or solving mysteries if I remember correctly. The first book took place in a Mayan temple or something to that effect. What I remember the most about is the villain, who was described as being a 3D metallic version of one of the stick figures on a crosswalk sign. I think his name was Cipher or had "Cipher" somewhere in it.
