A polyalphabetic cypher is almost impossible to solve without any other information. A normal substition cypher has 26! possibilities. A polyalphabetic cypher with with two keys has (26!)^2 possiblities. That's an enormous number.
The number code is probably not ASCII, Hex, alphabetic or mod-alphabetic. I think we need more hints to solve it.

I think everyone is jumping the gun somewhat. The "hunt" doesn't begin until next month, but staff are already aware of members looking at code e.t.c. so they've obviously decided to have a little fun and play with us.
Don't take the bait.
