FAQ
When and where is the escape room?
Saturday in Siebel. We'll announce times later, but it'll probably be between 10 AM and 5 PM.
What's an escape room?
It's actually escape boxes this year - You (and a group of friends or strangers) will need to solve the puzzles to crack open a box. Like safe cracking, but easier. And without a giant pile of money inside.
What's that really cool police box I saw a photo of?
Ah, I see you've found my Thrilling Adventurous Retro Decoding Interactive Scenario. This is the escape box you must unlock! (With your brain, not your brawn please)
How many people are needed to play?
The boxes are made for a minimium of 2 people and a maximium of 4 people.
Can I play by myself?
Unfortunately no, the puzzles will be overwhelming for less than 2 people. However, you can try for a walkup and see who else is there at the time and make new friends!
How long will it take?
A crack team of sleuths can probably crack this box open in under 40 minutes
How much will it cost?
It's free! ACM R|P is covering the cost of running this experience.
How do I get tickets?
We will announce when tickets are available on Discord and via email. Tickets will sell out. You can hang around on Saturday and hope people don't show up, but we can't make promises.
Why is there always so few tickets available?
Don't worry, we heard you. That's why there's not just ONE mysterious box, but THREE mysterious boxes. So hopefully that means we'll have triple the number of tickets!
Will I have to solve the puzzles on PuzzleBang.com in order to play the escape room?
Nope! They're two completely separate experiences! (But solving the puzzles _might_ give you an early notice when some tickets become available)
Can anyone play? I'm not a UIUC student.
Sorry, only UIUC students can play. Please bring your iCard.
