MISSION UNKNOWN STORYLINE:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

\u201cIn a tiny, quiet village far from the big noisy cities, you and your friends find a secret spaceship hidden in a big field. It looks like no one has seen it for a very long time, and it\u2019s full of secrets and exciting things. When you step inside the spaceship, it feels magical. The inside glows softly, and right away, you see something amazing: a strange alien thing that feels like it\u2019s from another world. It makes the whole room feel full of wonder and makes you want to explore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next to this alien thing, there\u2019s a very detailed map of the spaceship. It seems like the people who used to work here left little clues for you to find. They want you to figure out what their special mission was. Maybe they were going to Mars, the red planet that everyone thinks is so interesting, or maybe to Jupiter, with its huge storms and mysterious moons. To find out the real story of this secret mission, you have to solve puzzles and follow the clues they left behind.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

GAME SET-UP:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Easy peasy set-up guide!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Setting this game is a piece of cake\u2026 In just 10 to 15 minutes, you\u2019ll have everything ready for an unforgettable escape room experience. So, let\u2019s dive in and create an immersive space adventure!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Step 1:<\/strong> \u201cPrint & Prepare\u201d<\/strong>
First things first, make sure you have a color printer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Go to printer properties and select: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 A4 \/ Letter paper size<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Fit to paper<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 1-sided printing<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2013 Color mode: Color.
<\/strong>\u2013 Mission Uknown is played as one team (2-5 players), or by multiple teams \u2013 like a competition.<\/strong>
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that you have the game in front of you, take the page 3C<\/strong> and cut out the puzzle pieces along the white dotted lines. Make sure you have them with you during the set-up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s move on to the set-up!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Step 2:<\/strong> \u201cChoose the Playing Area\u201d<\/strong>
Find a suitable table where the game will take place. This will be the command center for your space adventure. Make sure there\u2019s enough space for the players to comfortably interact with the puzzles and props.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

\u2022 Step 3: Set Up the First Challenge<\/strong>
For the first challenge, you\u2019ll need pages 1A (Alien Artifact)<\/strong> and 2A (Guidebook)<\/strong>. Place page 1A on the table, as it will serve as the starting point for your players. You need to fold page 2A along the dotted lines in order to resemble a closed book. First fold in half horizontally along the dotted line, then fold it vertically along the second line. You also, need to write a sequel of words on page 2A, or you can use the page with already written words, that will help players decipher the Alien Artifact. The deciphered message should lead the players to the next challenge (this should be some place in the room. Example: \u201cOPEN THE THIRD DRAWER\u201d).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Hide page 2A<\/strong> somewhere in the room, but make sure to hide one previously cut piece of page 3C with it<\/strong>. To help players navigate and find page 2A, draw a map of the room similar to the provided picture bellow, and mark the hiding spot of page 2A on the map. The map should be placed next to page 1A on the table.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Step 4: Prepare the Second Challenge<\/strong>
Now, it\u2019s time for the second challenge! Take pages 1B (Riddles)<\/strong> and 2B (Solar System)<\/strong>. Hide both pages, along with one previously cut piece of page 3C, in a secret location within the room. It could be a drawer, a box, or even under a rug. Let your imagination run wild! Just remember, the translation of the Alien Artifact from the first challenge should guide players to the spot where these two pages are hidden.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Step 5: Prepare the Third Challenge<\/strong>
We\u2019re almost there! Gather pages 1C (Connect the Dot<\/strong>s) and 2C (Constellations with jumbled Riddles)<\/strong>. Place these two pages in a box, along with one piece of page 3C, and lock it with a padlock, setting the code to be revealed later in the game (players will obtain the code from the second challenge). The code for the padlock is (472<\/strong>). You need to put this box in a place in the room where players can see it easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n

\u2022 Hide the last piece of page 3C under the table (tape it using duct tape)<\/strong>. This final challenge will lead players to the location of this hidden piece.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u2022 Step 6: Finalize with the reward.<\/strong>
Last but not least, you need to prepare the reward for this successful adventure. Find a box that can hold a universe of sweetness and fill it to the brim with a rainbow of colorful candies. This box will be the ultimate treasure. Keep this box out of sight, a hidden gem to be revealed only once the final destination has been found. You should give them the box with the \u201cCongratulations!\u201d illustration<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge walkthrough:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The solution from the previous challenge leads to a hidden compartment in the room. Players open the compartment and find one piece of a puzzle (from 3C)<\/strong> and two pages: riddles (1B)<\/strong> and a picture of the Solar System (2B)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They need to read the riddles and identify the names of the dwarf planets, and write their names on the provided spaces on the Solar System page (2B). Each planet in the picture has a number associated with it. If they correctly identify the planets and match them with their corresponding number, they\u2019ll uncover the solution to this challenge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Challenge 3: Unlocking the Mystery<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Challenge walkthrough:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The players unlock a mysterious box using the solution from the previous challenge (472)<\/strong>. Inside, they find another puzzle piece (from 3C)<\/strong> and two pages (1C and 2C)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

\n

2C<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

They solve a connect the dots puzzle(1C)<\/strong> and match that one with one of the constellations on the other puzzle page(2C)<\/strong>. Solving the jumbled sentence, they discover the clue \u201cYou should look under the table\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Finding the last puzzle piece, they connect them all, and it should occur to them that this puzzle (3C) is a match for the Solar System (2B)<\/strong>. They should put it on top of it (3C on top of 2B)<\/strong> and with that they get the destination of the abandoned mission.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

So the solution to the whole game and the destination of the abandoned mission is ERIS<\/strong>. After the game the Game Master gives them the \u201cCongratulations!\u201d illustration and the box full of candy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
