Presentation:

They are handed 3 copies of the "exam" on paper (all identical), stapled. They are then handed a second sheet of paper (3per team) that is the testing sheet.

Walkthrough:

There are three main portions of the puzzle:

  1. Getting the correct answers on the exam

  2. Ordering the exam answers correctly

  3. Pulling the final answers from the correctly ordered exam answers

Getting the correct answers on the exam

  • Locate the test sheet labeled "Fabrikamp Spirit Assessment"

  • Each question has three possible answers with an alphabetical letter associated with it.

  • Solvers should first recognize that each question/answer can be found within the text in almost identical phrasing

  • Once they find the phrase in the text, the correct answer should be with it in the text, but slightly paraphrased zt

  • The paraphrased piece of text as well as the letter associated with the correct answer are the two important pieces of information

  • Solvers should be able to enter the correct answers into Spiderdoge for a partial to check their answers

Ordering the exam answers correctly

  • Solvers should see that the Additional Resource Materials (A.R.M.s) give instructions for how to use their right and left arms in a semaphore

  • ALL SEMAPHORES ARE "MIRRORED" SINCE THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO CHEER IT OUT TO THEIR TEAM AS PER TIP #1 - have your arms in that position, face a team member, that team member can read the letter.

  • Read it out loud like a mad gabb really fast: "TOGAFUR AVERYWON HUTCHHEAVES MORE"

  • Answer: Together Everyone Achieves More

Hinting:

  • Typos/Spelling/Grammar doesn't matter

  • For loose easy hints after the exam part is finished, point them to the "T is for Tips" page

    • Literally everything that is key to the second part of the puzzle and getting the solution (use of Additional Resource Materials, mirroring the semaphore, reading things out loud) is found on the tips page.
  • Getting the semaphore but not mirroring:

    • Tip #1
  • Getting the right exam answers but nothing else: "Are there any differences in your answers and the text?"

  • Doing anything with the exam letters instead of moving on to part 2: "Looks like you're done with the exam for now. Maybe you should go back to the text and additional resource materials?"

  • Have the correct order and the correct words but not saying things out loud:

    • Tip #2
