Zoom Escape

To make this year’s celebration of 14th Sci-MATh Interschool Challenge more fun and interactive, participating schools can get to experience an online version of “Room Escape” through a zoom application. Students are tasked to solve for different quests in each breakout room in order to escape the zoom conference and enter the correct zoom conference. 

1. This event is open to all levels of Junior High School students from private and public schools. Participating schools must choose a team composed of five (5) bona fide students to represent them in the competition.

2. Only the first 30 participants with complete requirements upon registration process will be accommodated in the contest. Official participating schools will receive a notice via email. 

3.  The top three teams will receive the following:

1. The event will be held via zoom. The zoom link will be given to the participants before the day of the interschool competition. Only the official participating teams are allowed to join the zoom conference. 

2. There will be three groups composed of 10 teams who will solve the quest. Group assignment will be done randomly upon registration.

3. Each team is given 15 minutes to guess the correct meeting ID and password for the final zoom room that they must escape to.

4. During the 15 minutes, the members of the team are given an opportunity to join breakout rooms 1-5 to solve different quests. Teams will get two digits of the meeting ID that they need from each breakout room. 

5. Once the 11-digit meeting ID is acquired by the team, they have to join breakout room 6 to get the correct password from the password pool.

6. With the meeting ID and password acquired by the team, they have to test and log in the details in zoom and check if it will work. 

7. The first team from each group who will successfully escape to the final zoom room with the correct meeting ID and password will be declared as winners of the game.

8. Among the three teams who will escape successfully, the place of the winners will be determined through the time stamp of their entrance in the final zoom room.
