Rules

• One of the team members will be the “Morpheus”. This will be the person who is captured and needs to be rescued. In order to do that, you will have to safeguard the escape door “ROOM 303”. Neo and Trinity will enter the matrix to rescue Morpheus.

• Neo and Trinity:

1. Everytime you interact with a person inside the Matrix, it’s called an encounter. You encounter with Agents in the Matrix :

a. Agents:

There will be 4 agents spread throughout the maze, identified by their numbers i.e Agent #1, #2 and so forth. You need to encounter all of them and successfully answer their questions to obtain 15 points for each question.

2. You will use the points you acquire to move closer to the trapped Morpheus. But the closer you go, the more it will cost you-

1. Level 1: 30 points

2.Level 2: 50 points

3.Level 3: 50 points

4.Level 4: 75 points

5.Level 5: 100 points

• The interaction between Neo, Trinity and the Morpheus will only be possible after reaching Level 3. Here onward, Morpheus will be able to assist Neo and Trinity by providing them with the following:

a. Security Codes to defend your escape door.

b.Trojans to breach the escape door of the other teams.

• Once a team manages to escape the Matrix, all the other escape doors will be locked. Expect the other teams to be on the lookout to destroy yours. Defend your escape door, for if you fail, you will be trapped inside the matrix forever.

• You have to ask the Operators to plant the Trojans.

3. It’s your choice to initiate contact with a person inside The Matrix, however the encounter isn’t over without mutual consent. You can only encounter every agent and every crew member only once in every 5 minutes, to make things clearer, you cannot visit the same agent/crew member more than once in a 5 minutes span.

4. Every 5 minutes the matrix changes its form. While the people may look the same, they have completely changed roles. For eg. While a person may have been Agent #1 but once the matrix changes they may not have the same identity anymore they may now be a crew member.

5. The 5 minutes rule applies to the role of the person and not that person himself. E.g.: Mohan was Agent #1 , your team encountered Agent #1 at 4:30 , the Matrix changed at 4:32 , Mohan is now a crew member or another agent, Before and till 4:35 you’re allowed to encounter Mohan but not Agent #1.

b. Morpheus:

• Meanwhile Morpheus needs to solve questions/puzzles of his own to gather points (25 points per puzzle/question). Morpheus can use these points to buy the following:

(a) Security Codes - 50 points

(b) Trojans - 70 points

• Morpheus can buy the Security Codes only after Neo and Trinity reach Level 2 and the Trojans after they reach Level 4. Once Neo and Trinity reach Level 3, Morpheus will be able to convey to them, the Security Codes and Trojans he possesses.
