2. You are equipped with a mobile device. This mobile device tracks your progress by recording points;

3. Answering the fifth question of each level of questions unlocks the next level. You may skip around (you do not need to answer questions in order);

4. Audio tapes do NOT contain “unlocking hints,” but may contain answers for points;

5. You are also equipped with a flashlight, and a worksheet to help you stay organized.

POINTS

Your progress in the game is graded on a point system. Points are determined by the following:

1. Time. One minute = 25 points. You begin with 1500 points. Each minute you use in the game, 25 points are deducted from your score;

2. QR codes. Throughout the game, you encounter QR codes that you may scan. Scanning these QR codes affect your score;
