Taking up the locked room challenges #withcolleagues

1UP
Location: Freeing India.
Played two escape room challenges:

  • LIVE TO TELL – You are part of secret mission to enter the room of spies whom you suspect are sending our country’s defense secrets to enemy country. You know these spies have made locks in such a way that only these two spies by working together as a team can open the locker where the defense secret in kept. You enter the spies room and as feared you are locket inside. You have a limited time to recover the defense secrets and escape.
  • THE LOST CHAMBER – In a sunny afternoon, you went to the Youth Cultural Centre located in Nungambakkam. Someone suddenly covered your eyes from the back and you could see nothing but darkness. You gradually lose your consciousness after smelling some strong odor…… When you wake up, you find yourself in darkness and handcuffed. Can you make it out on time or you will be doomed.

 

Sleepless throughout the dark mosquito-ridden powerless night brought about by the mid-afternoon showers that had cooled the whole place down but had left us spending the better part of Prima Aprilius/Easter sans power, I woke up to moonlight shining on my face and to the muzzein’s call to Fajr followed soon after by the tolling of the bells of the nearby church. I flick my wrist and read the time. It’s 4 a.m. and it’s Monday. And then it struck me: I’m on a vacation.

I regard the brain as a computer which will stop working when its components fail. There is no heaven or afterlife for broken down computers; that is a fairy story for people afraid of the dark. – Stephen Hawking
