They will begin the challenge by reading a short backstory that sets up the escape room challenge. Students awaken in a windowless room, suffering from amnesia, with only a phone and a tablet present; unable to recall any details from their past, they must solve a puzzle within the Exit Strategy app on the tablet to unlock the phone, escape the room, and uncover the mystery surrounding their situation.
