Beat the box

Beat the Box It all begins with a mysterious video message in which a mysterious voice challenges the participants to a game. The different teams only have a limited to crack a special code, which stops the countdown. To win the game, the code must be entered in an electronic combination lock before the time has elapsed. The only useful tools in the room are each team’s locked aluminium box. The first step is to open the boxes. In the boxes, the teams can find cases which contain codes and mysteries and have to be unravelled. In the final case the participants can find letters. If all letters are put in the right order, a predefined slogan appears and the code can be discovered, stopping the countdown and finishing the game. Learning Outcomes: One of the most important things during the whole game is that the participants use and combine their different skills and develop creative solutions. The part which makes “Beat the Box” even more interesting is, that in the end all teams have to cooperate as they have to put all clues together to get the right abort code. Teamwork is essential here.
