Guidelines

1. The Setup: Hide clues around the room that lead to combinations for the lockboxes. For example, a math riddle based on historical timeline dates or calculating scripture chapter and verse numbers.

2. Mission Brief: Tell the teens they are historical scholars searching for an important document, and they have 20 minutes to solve the puzzles.

3. Use the Clues: Teens use tools like a UV light to find a verse hidden on a classroom poster that contains the key to a cipher.

4. Unlocking Boxes: Entering the correct numbers into the locks reveals the next clue inside the box.

5. The Final Key: The final box contains a message summarizing the day's lesson. Gather everyone to unpack how logic, history, and faith interact.
