The `challenge.txt` file contains:

They are [tap codes](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tap_code).

Let's try decoding them!

We get the *original text* `theprisoneristryingtoescapefromhiscell`.

As the *description* said, we have to make the letters of that text *uppercase* and *wrap* it with **TMUCTF{}**.

So, the flag will be `TMUCTF{THEPRISONERISTRYINGTOESCAPEFROMHISCELL}`.
