Covid Monster Escape Room

By: Austin Blackburn and Tashira Bryant

P.S. (You will need paper and pen)

 OH NOOOOO!!!!!

A new strain of Covid has begun mutating people into monsters!!

...You’re a scientist who is working late at night after everyone else

has gone home. You work in a special access lab, and you run
controlled tests on the people mutating into monsters. You walk
towards the glass to observe the monster, and as you begin to type
in codes to ensure the monster is locked in cell number *7628*, the
monster breaks through the glass. You run for the exit and press
the emergency lockdown button, closing all the doors except the
one you escaped from. You must collect all 6 vials, as well as the
cure in order to revert the monster back into human form. The vials
will not be easy to obtain, as they contain highly experimental
enzymes and they aren’t supposed to be used, as testing hasn’t
been completed, but you have no other choice...the monster has
escaped.
 AAAAHHHHHHH!!!!
...You have no choice but to run out of the lab. You run through the door
leading into the hallway outside of the lab. You then turn around and
swipe your key card used to lock the lab door. However, when you go to
swipe it, it does not work. Luckily, the monster cannot see, it can only
hear, so you quietly run back into the lab to grab another key card. As you
run back out, the monster lets out a loud screech. You hope that the key
card works. You swipe it hoping for it to lock the door to prevent the
monster from escaping further, however, once again the card does not
work. You look around, and notice there is a panel labelled, “In Case of an
Emergency”. In the panel, you find a crowbar that can be used to bar the
door shut as well as the first vial. You take the vial and place it into your
lab coat pocket. You then bar the door shut. You know it will only hold the
monster for a little while, so you run down the hallway to the
second door, but it is locked. A passcode appears on the screen, it seems
to be a numeric password.
...You now have 1 minute to figure out a way to unlock the next
door before the monster breaks through the first door.
 1st Puzzle:

 Phew! Close one!!
...Relieved, you entered the correct code and open
the second door. To your surprise, you see that the
electronic door also offered an option to "receive
vial." You press it and the second vial is ejected.
You stick the vial in your lab coat pocket along with
the first vial and then you run down the hallway.
...As you’re running you hear a loud screech once
again. The monster has broken through the first
door. You run past a sign that reads, “Vials”, with an
arrow pointing towards a sign just before an
elevator. You turn toward the sign. You notice the
message seems to be encrypted in Morse Code. The
only part you clearly understand is that it says,
“Safe room”. The safe room is just down the hall, so
you pull out your notepad and write down the
encrypted message. You then walk very carefully to
the safe room. Upon your arrival you find a key that
will help you decode the message.
 Key from the Door:
2nd Puzzle:
Solve the encrypted Morse Code from the sign:

… /._ /.._././/._./_ _ _ /_ _ _ /_ _
//../_.//_._././../._../../_./_ _.//..._ /./_./_

Crack the code to figure out the location

of the vial in the safe room.
 HMMMMMM...

...Once you decipher the code for the puzzle, you

enter the door and go in the safe room and look in
the ceiling vent just as the code said, the third vial
was there. You see the vial reads, "floor 4," across
the side of it. You immediately remember the
elevator down the hall. You put the vial in your lab
coat along with the rest. You can hear the monster
getting closer. You run out of the safe room towards
the elevator and press the button for the 4th
floor. The doors for the elevator close just before the
monster can gets its left foot in the elevator.
...The 4th floor is a terrible mess. It looks to be under
construction and is maze like. You notice a sign on
the ceiling that reads, "Keeping track of the posted
letters that lead to the exit elevator will lead you to
your answer."

3rd Puzzle:
Move the scientist
through the maze and keep track
of all the letters you encounter
on the CORRECT way to the exit
elevator IN THE ORDER
you encounter them to find the
next vial. Do not keep
track of letters that you
encountered that lead to a dead
end.

______ ___
 Hurry!
Almost done!
...After deciphering the code that reads, "Inside log,"
you grow confused. You look around and notice a giant
log is propped up right beside the exit elevator. You
walk over and examine the log. You then notice that on
the top of the log, a small hole contains the fourth vial.
As you grab the fourth vile you notice it says, "In the
basement, what you seek is covered in red, figure out
the message behind the highlighted symbols. A good
scientist should be able to discover what is hidden."
... You immediately take the elevator down to the
basement. As you pass the first floor, you hear the
monster banging on the doors...they won't hold for
much longer! You need to hurry and find the remaining
vials! You finally reached the basement, but everything
appears to be covered in old white sheets. Upon looking
for something 'red," You find an old red lab cabinet
somewhere amongst the junk. It has one drawer. You
open the drawer only to find a historic looking wrinkled
up paper. The paper seems to have symbols followed by
a section for letters to fit. A note beside the riddles says,
"A few special letters of each riddle will get you out of
your pickle."
 4th Puzzle:
Solve the riddles and use the designated letters to find out the exact location of the 4th vial.

#1 = _ _ _ _ _ - _ _ #4 = _ _ _ - _ _ -
___- ___

#2 = _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _

#5 = _ _ _ _ - _ _ -
______-___

#3 = _ _ _ _ - _ _ - _ - _ _ _ _ - _ _ _ _
 ...After figuring out that the 5th
vial is in the clock hanging up in
the room, you take the clock
down. You carefully begin taking
it apart, while doing so, you grab
the 5th vial. A note attached to
the vial says, "In the Bio synthesis
lab lies the last puzzle for which
you seek. Tis behind the portrait
of Isaac it peeks." Your heart
began to clench after
remembering the biosynthesis lab
is on the same floor as the
monster. Reluctantly you quietly
hurry to retrieve the 5th vial
before it is too late.

AH HA!
 Where did it go???
...As the elevator brings you to the biosynthesis lab floor, your
fast-paced heartbeat begins to grow louder and louder. When
the elevator doors open, there seems to be no sign of the
monster. You know he is on the floor with you; however, you
don't know where in this particular moment. You quickly begin
searching around for the portrait of Isaac Newton hanging up in
the lab, just as the note found under the previous vial
mentioned.

...You begin to examine the portrait of Isaac Newton. You notice

it is locked. Below the lock is a paper that is labeled, "Clues."
 5th Puzzle:

Hurry and use the clues to

open the lock and grab the last
vial behind the painting
before the monster hears you!
 Almost there!!!
Once you get through the lock, the painting
reveals a secret spot in the wall housing the
last vial. There is a message on the back of vial
6, "Use the DNA Splicer in the lab to the
solution to anything bad." You now know why
there is 6 vials. You must combine them using
the DNA splicer into ONE cure and then you
must inject it in the monster!

...You quietly make you way over to the DNA

splicer trying not to draw the attention of the
monster and you realize that there are small
letters on the caps of the vials. You recognize
they are DNA codes that you must translate
into binary code to put in the DNA splicer.
 Binary Code

Final Puzzle:
• Vial 1 = s
• Vial 2 = c
• Vial 3 = i
• Vial 4 = e
• Vial 5 = j
• Vial 6 = k

Use the "DNA codes" from the

vials to engineer a cure using the
given binary codes
You take the "DNA" codes from caps of the vials and type it into
the DNA splicer to make the final cure. Once you correctly
enter the code for the cure in the DNA splicer produces a cure.

As you reach for the cure, a loud shriek fills the air. It is the
monster, it begins running in your direction! HURRY!!! Click
the button below to inject the cure into the monster.
Congratulations!! The
cure worked! You
successfully turned the
monster back into a
human, and you are
safe!
