Escape Room

Hi team, thanks for helping out. I’ll be in contact with the squads on the ground, but need your help to tell them what to do.

We recommend that you use multiple devices (laptops/tablets) if you have them, for easier multi-tasking.

All right, we’ve just received a phone call from a terrorist threatening the blow up a building in the city in the next 60 minutes. We need to find the bomb and disarm it. We then need to catch the terrorist. Let’s work together and do this.

Here’s the audio recording with the terrorist.

Our tech team managed to secure some evidence from his phone before he switched it off. We’ve also identified he’s somewhere in the east of Melbourne, Australia. But the call was too short for an exact location.

Before we look for him, let’s first find the bomb and disarm it. Hopefully one of the websites contains more information about its location and how to disarm it.

Could you check the evidence and inform me once you find the website with this information?

That's an interesting website, but it needs a password. We've managed to recover more information from his phone. Maybe this piece of evidence will help in figuring out the password to his website?

Awesome! Now that we are on his website, I’d suggest you split up and look at the contents.
We need to know the location of the bomb and hopefully, there’s also some information about the bomb itself.

Let me know once you know the location and I’ll send the squad there.

We're sending a squad to the location right away. They are around the corner and should be there in a matter of seconds.

After arriving, they found a suitcase. What do we do next?

The suitcase is open. There are lots of wires. There should be some instructions for disarming the bomb somewhere on the website!

Time to scourge and check through. Maybe the password-protected PDF?

What is the password for that?

With the PDF accessed - it's time to start disarming the bomb.

What is the first step to disarming it?

What about the second step? What's next?

Third step. Don't falter now!

Fourth step.

You're getting closer. On the fifth step now!

Looks like you have one final wire to cut! 

Which is it?

That's all of the wires cut but the bomb is still counting down! It looks like it requires a confirmation code to deactivate the bomb. What is it?

It looks like the correct code but the bomb is still ticking down! What now?

Yes! That worked, the bomb is now disarmed. Thanks, team, great work.

Now we need to find the terrorist. Did anyone find anything on his website related to his last known location? Where was his last location?

Interesting choice, team. 

Do you have an address for me? We'll send a squad there to check it out!

A squad is on its way to see if anyone at the church knows about him and where he could be.

We’re getting close now! Someone at the church didn’t know the exact address but gave us instructions on how to get to his place.

1. Go north until you reach the park of the people
2. Go right and the 2nd left
3. Go right until you get to a roundabout
4. Take the 1st exit and keep going straight until the fork
5. Follow the road to the left at the fork
6. Now you might have to take a good look...it’s one of the houses on the right, with red bricks...at the beginning

Can you tell us the address of his place?

The squad is at the house. Should we kick the door in or ask him to come out?

The squad is inside, but he has locked himself up in a room and the door to the room has a keypad. We need to hurry because he’s threatening to harm himself.

A squad member noticed a colourful clock that stopped ticking. It seems a bit suspicious, perhaps it’s a clue to the code of the door? Can you give us the code?

Excellent work team, we got him! This city is now much safer thanks to your help.

If there’s ever a case to solve again, we know who to call. Here’s a photo of the arrested terrorist.
