“A revolution will be a game.” Gabe Sickermann
Hello.
Today I want to tell a little about my impressions after the play test of the “hacker" quest room .
It is very difficult to overcome the nagging feeling of nostalgia when you see the DOS loading screen and hear the sounds of DOOM, but you need to focus and strain the gyrus. Because time is given an hour and you need to collect as many flags as possible.
According to legend, your team (3-5 people) has 60 minutes before the police arrive, and you need to collect as much evidence and clues in the room of the disappeared hacker as possible in order to understand where he disappeared and why.
And then the dilemma arises of how to share something interesting and not spoil. I’ll try to beat around the bush and talk about something, because it was interesting.
Here you can use the camera down (if it helps), a smartphone and the Internet (if you can get around the jammer), and after completing the quest, they drink it with nitrochrome (with liquid nitrogen) and initiate cryobathy (they pour liquid nitrogen on their hands, the girls are thrilled). I suggested making 2 cocktails for adults - “Overclocking” (a viskar with nitrogen) and “Superconductor” (nitrogen with a viskar).
There are a lot of old equipment (almost a museum), and I fitted them with a couple of depleted devices from my collection (if you have something lying around - bring it) and a few ideas for tasks (each one has a dozen such ideas in stock), and I also agreed that you can bring high school students to a lightweight option (or, conversely, to a complicated one, now such young people have gone) in order to accustom them to the good and to focus on IT (there is a sickly block about the history of cryptography and steganography with practice, well, there is not much social engineering). I was told that the main thing is that adults should not be with them, because the text of the assignments contains the word "ass." (I asked if they have Swordfish hacking?)
What is cool is that quest-dealers managed to make sure that the hardcore driver broke his head, and the girls could laugh heartily (“Yes, we don’t care about your pieces of iron, here’s an interesting box”).

One of the principles of the quest room is no sham and scenery, only real devices.

Booting from a tape recorder? Come on...
Mitnik is worth reading, it will help a lot when passing

Good: The first RePhone in Moscow with Kickstarter`a.
You have to do a lot with pens. Sometimes female.
Who guesses what kind of book is in the background?
Vidos will help you complete one of the tasks
Quest dealers shared their plans and said they were expecting a package of happiness from America:

Not a single girl suffered a beta test.
If your gang wants to make a quest , and you still have mined Satoshi 14753301, then you have the opportunity tosell yourself into slavery to complete the quest for food by completing a couple of tasks for the benefit of hacker culture.

“Hacking is not limited to the computer industry. Wherever there is a system, there is the potential for breaking it. Using social hacks, you can steal billions (Medoff). And automation is a hack, and he did not please everyone (Luddites). New business is also always a hack. Entrepreneurs see the system as a set of rules, and are looking for ways to get around them. Not everyone has such a way of thinking. But they are the ones who move the world forward. ” Paul Buchait, creator of Gmail and FriendFeed
