Directions:
- After you have created your teams, you’re ready to start the timer. Once the timer has started, teams aren’t allowed to pause or change the time. Teachers, you may adjust the time if needed.
- Make sure you go over EVERYTHING on the homepage. There are pages linked at the top of the homepage.
- Teams are allowed only ONE FREE HINT. After that, every time you have to give them a hint, the team will lose 3 minutes off the clock. (This can vary.)
- Take notes as you go through the activities. This will help you when entering codes for the locks.
- If the answer is incorrect on the Google Form, the response is “STILL LOCKED!” Then, try again to enter the correct code.
