Time Travel: So hot right now! In this competitive market, in order to compete, you have taken the bold step of enrolling in the Pi Institute for Time Travelers, an accelerated 2-hour Master’s program. The good news: You are on the precipice of graduation. The bad news: You will become completely and perilously UNSTUCK IN TIME! Your goal? To get back to the Present.

To accomplish this, your team must use tools such as newspapers, maps, and cipher wheels to solve thoughtful, in-story, escape-game-style clues that are stunningly designed to mimic vintage technologies. Along the way, teams will explore an iconic neighborhood, learn about the city, interact with awesome public art, and take prompted, hilarious group photos. It all culminates in a climactic, collaborative final puzzle. When teams complete their journey and ace the final exam, they will earn an advanced degree in Time Travel. One lucky team will even take home the top prize: Time Travel Champions of the World!

Keys to Victory: collaboration; communication; energy; focus; problem solving; creativity; presence
