Hack A Tech July Special Event

We had the great opportunity to play the "Quest for the Crown" escape room at Exit2Escape. Total of 11 students joined this event. We started off strong, solving puzzles relatively quickly. Working together and parallelizing our work on a variety of different fronts allowed us to solve multiple puzzles at the same time. And we even managed to circumvent two puzzles by applying some smart moves to a physical puzzle. In the end, we finally cracked all the clues and made it out before time was up.
