Staff Instructions

Your Role:

Setup Instructions:

• Call GC when you arrive (so we know you are setting up)
• Set up props
• Call GC when you are ready for teams

Handout Script:

PLAYERS:

Pardon us. We were sent by Doctor When's laboratory. He misplaced some information and they thought perhaps it was here.

Hints: Teams have been instructed to call GC; it would be out of character for Mr. When to give hints (besides, they're unlikely to be solving at the actual location)

Answers: Teams have been instructed to email their answer to the Institute.

Site Close Down:

• Thank the host

• Except ... if a team says "time out," break character and help them.

Team phones Institute. Answer is verified by lab assistant (p. 10 of script)

LAB ASSISTANT (O.C.)

Hello. Trenchwood Institute. How may I direct your call?

VISITOR 1

We're the ____ team. We've cracked the password to the Brain-O-Matic supercomputer.

LAB ASSISTANT (O.C.)

Excellent! What is it?

VISITOR 1

It's _____.

Use the following lines for an incorrect answer:

LAB ASSISTANT (O.C.)

Oh, that can't be right. We tried that one already. Would you keep working on it and call back later?

VISITOR 1

Sure thing!

The call ends.

Use the following lines for a correct answer:

LAB ASSISTANT (O.C.)

We haven't tried that one yet...let me patch you though to Prof. Chronos. But first...are you on speakerphone?

VISITOR 1

Absolutely.

LAB ASSISTANT (O.C.)

Excellent. I'll connect you.

PROF. CHRONOS (O.C.)

Hello! I hope you have good news--we really need to access his supercomputer!

VISITOR 1

The password is "BUFFYROCKS"!

PROF. CHRONOS (O.C.)

Buffy? He can't still be thinking about that stuck-up, conniving, boy-stealing bimbo of a cheerleader from high school, who right now is probably a waitress at an all-night diner in Reno? Buffy? I...

Keyboard sounds in the background as Prof. Chronos types in the password.

PROF. CHRONOS (O.C., CONT'D.)

I can't believe it. I just typed it in and it works!

VISITOR 1

What can we do now?

PROF. CHRONOS (O.C.)

Oh, yes, there's so much more we need your help with. But I have to rush off to an urgent calculation. I hope you don't mind if I hand you off to one of the lab assistants for your next research assignment.

Lab assistant sends them to either optional, role-oriented puzzle or Calibration puzzle.
