IMPORTANT TIPS IF YOU’RE STUCK IN THE GAME

If you have entered 3 correct codes into the Chrono Decoder within 60 minutes, you’ll hear ‘victory’ music and you’ll have won the game. You can take a picture of the group showingthe time on the display and share this on social media using the app. If you were unsuccessful in fi nding all the correct codes within 60 minutes you will hear the ‘defeat’ sound and the time will start counting up. You can still proceed to fi nd the code(s). The decoder will work the same way it did before, but without the fi nal ‘victory’ music. Don’t forget to switch off the Chrono Decoder when you’ve fi nished.If you were unsuccessful or are curious about which clues you missed, then have a look at the walkthrough on WWW.ESCAPEROOMTHEGAME.COM. If other people wantto play the game too, you can print all the ‘used’ parts with a print icon on themand replace them in the correct envelope of the game.

You will become frustrated, but that is part of experiencing an Escape Room.

Go through all of the steps together again to see if you can discover any fl aws in your logic.

Keep the following tips close at hand and read out loud again when you are stuck:

COMMUNICATE! Stay positive and listen to each other. Share all information. Think aloud.

Take notes. Double-check each other. Summarize together. Again … and again.

READ! All information in the game is important. There are no clues in the envelope text but

the text is important to get an overview. Read roadmaps and hint cards carefully and

completely. Read everything again … and again.

LOOK! Nothing left in the envelope? Study all materials again, front and back. Compare all

your notes. Check the details on the keys again. Are the keys in the correct order in the

Chrono Decoder? And with the correct side facing forward?

SAVE TIME! Read the rules out loud before playing. Use helpful devices on your smartphone

like the fl ashlight, calculator, etc. You don’t need to use foreknowledge because all info can

be found in the game. Divide tasks. Don’t break anything unless you fi nd a print symbol on it.

Use the ciphers on the Chrono Decoder only when indicated by ‘ER’.

BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, NEVER GIVE UP!

THE ANSWERS ARE LITERALLY IN FRONT OF YOU!

THIS IS CRUCIAL INFORMATION!Read the rules of the game carefullycarefully and completelycompletely. Or watch the video about the rules of the game on our website. You need the rules in order to be able to escape!IMPORTANT: READ, LOOK & COMMUNICATE!

Place 3 × AA batteries (not included) in the Chrono Decoder and collect all the keys. Find the

envelopes and the hint cards that correspond to the adventure you are going to play.

Always play level 0 fi rst, then adventure 1 and then 2 due to the increasing diffi culty level.

Make sure everyone has pen and paper ready.

Make sure you have good lighting and sit together so everyone has a good view of everything.

Carefully examine the details on the keys and the ciphers on the Chrono Decoder before you

start the game.

Each adventure has three envelopes (levels). In each level, you must fi nd a code consisting of

four keys that you enter into the Chrono Decoder. Find three correct codes within 60 minutes

to win the game.

The game includes eight keys. These eight keys have six different key sides, each stating different information. The other keys are exact copies. If you look closely, you will see that two keys (with the circle and the square) have exactly the same front and back. The other two keys have a different front and back. Examine the keys carefully before starting the game!

Each adventure contains eight numbered hint cards. You will occassionally hear a ‘roar’ sound to indicate that you are allowed to draw a hint card. You can opt not to read it (yet), but this is challenging. To read the hint card, slide it into the Hint Decoder and read out loud. Always read hint cards carefully and completely! If you do not need the hint, this means you are on the right track and on schedule.

1. Number: this is the order in which you have to draw the hint cards.2. Level: the hint concerns that part of the adventure. 3. Time: never read a hint card before the time shown on the card has passed.

During the game, you will occasionally come across the text or logo ‘ER’. This is

important information, as it tells you that you must convert something using one

of the decoder systems on the two sides of the Chrono Decoder. Never use the Chrono

Decoder unless you get the text or ER logo. Each adventure requires only one cipher type.

ENTERING A CODEOnce you discover a code, place the four keys from left to right into the Chrono Decoder.

If the entered code is incorrect, you’ll hear an ‘error’ sound and 1 minute will be deducted

from the remaining time. Try to fi nd the right code again. You cannot continue until this code

has been cracked. If the code is correct, you’ll hear a ‘confi rmation’ sound and the clock will

continue.Any questions? Check the FAQ on the website.

Never open an envelope or sealed item unless you are specifi cally requested to do so.Take the fi rst envelope of the adventure that you have chosen and calmly read theintroduction letter on the back of the envelope out loud. Check if the contents of theenvelope match the description under the back fl ap. Is it complete? Carefully remove all items from the frame. Then switch on the Chrono Decoder by sliding the button on thebottom to the left for the 15-minute introduction game or to the right for all otheradventures. Then press the START button. If you want to play the extra ambient sounds using the app, press the play button in the app at the same time you press the start button. The clock will start counting down exactly 60 minutes and the game has begun! All the players proceed to check the fronts and backs of all the provided materials verycarefully. Search for clues, codes, riddles and (parts of) puzzles, and work as a team. Once you fi nd the fi rst of the three codes, take the four matching keys and enter these into the Chrono Decoder. If the code is correct, you hear a ‘confi rmation’ sound. You can open the next envelope of the adventure and proceed to decipher the second code. After the third correct code has been entered, you will hear victory music and the countdown will stop.
