You awake in a darkened room with no memory of the night before. Your head is pounding and your stomach churns. You know it was a New Year’s party but what year it is remains a blur. Stuck to your face are bits of torn up newspaper from the day before. Assemble the paper to figure out the current year:

Having determined the year, you attempt to figure out just how much you drank. You stumble to the kitchen and approach the freezer. A note is stuck to the freezer door:

0MSc in Creative Digital Media

BA in ArtsPhD in Music

How cold is it inside the freezer?

Chapter 2

Success! You open the freezer to see the damage. It’s not good… empty! A disturbing image flashes briefly in your mind. Was I drinking with bears? How many did I drink?

You and the two bold bears bought three bear beers each. One of the bold bears drank one bear beer. The other bold bear had only two bear beers. How many bear beers must you drink to leave the freezer bare of bear beer?

Oh well! Your phone beeps and you receive a text message from an unknown number:

“Hey Gene! You lost something last night. If you want it back, go to my house on Woodmill Lane, but you must fix this equation if you want me to tell you my house number!“

Resize a number to make the equation work.9 – 23 = 1

Chapter 4

You leave your house and walk to Woodmill Lane. Upon arrival at your destination, you are greeted by a bizarre looking dog sitting on the porch. Maybe it’s the remnants of the Bear beer, but suddenly the dog appears to speak. “Hello Gene! You’re looking a little ruff around the edges this morning. You have to answer two questions to get into my house! First, what is my name?”

Chapter 5

“Correct! Didn’t think you’d solve that one so fast. This one might take a little longer. Let me throw you a bone. I love to walk but the dog warden won’t let me go alone. I received this flyer in the mail last week.”

“You cannot go on walks without this county of Ireland!”

What does our canine companion need?

Chapter 6

“Correct again! You may enter the house! However, I must accompany you. My master wouldn’t like you heading in alone!” You approach the front door but there’s a keypad attached to the handle. “You must enter the code to enter my house! However, my master is not too smart so it’s only one digit”

The number can be found by finding the biggest key at the top of a keyboard when it is turned upside down, then taking the first syllable of the name of that key. Finally, take the last syllable of the name given to people who go there.

Chapter 7

You enter the hallway. Bosco runs ahead into the living room. “I know you came here to find what you lost. I believe the first of your clues is in here!”You follow the dog. The room seems normal enough, tables, chairs, bookcase and a couch, however the floor is bizarrely made up of tiles with letters of the alphabet on them. Each tile has its own letter. This room is a bit of a mystery! You must stand on the correct tiles to open a secret passageway! Here’s your clue:

"This word is to perform and follows the imp to collide?"

Chapter 8

You step on the correct letters and suddenly the bookcase revolves to reveal a passageway. Without hesitation, you enter and arrive in a small room. The secret room is totally bare apart from a painting on the wall, and a keypad underneath. The painting depicts a zoo filled with animals. On the frame of the painting is a plaque. It reads, “The number of seals, will the secret reveal”. Before you can inspect any closer, Bosco annoyingly jumps in your way.

“I can see 20 animals. There are lions, elephants, penguins, ostriches, seals and giraffes. There are

8 animals with feathers. There are two of the heaviest animals, and 2 of the tallest. Altogether,

there are 48 legs. How many seals are there?”

Success! The painting swings from hidden hinges to reveal a small alcove in the wall. Resting in the alcove is a small box. You attempt to open the box but it’s stuck hard!“I’m afraid brute force will get you nowhere my friend. This box is closed with magic. Only speaking the special word will allow it to open. Perhaps the bottom of the box will help you out?”You turn the box around to reveal a cryptic message:

Sounds like you breathe it to inherit what’s yours, followed by a machine for weaving”

What word should you say aloud?

Chapter 10

The box opens, and the thing you lost is inside. It’s your grandfather’s fob watch. A very important heirloom indeed! However, to your dismay, you realise it’s broken. Bosco walks over to you.“Sorry it broke! I’m sure that wasn’t on purpose. Then again, I doubt fixing this will prove a hard task for Gene Rein, considering your occupation!”

What is your occupation?
