Prof. C. RISPR's Treasure Hunt - Events High

Prof. C. RISPR’s Treasure Hunt Professor Charlie Rispr has been working on a project that is sure to land him the nobel prize. However, suddenly, he has been kidnapped by rival scientists who want to steal his work. However, he has encrypted his work and hidden it such that only a true biologist can find it. Prof. C. RISPR needs someone trustable(you), to find his work and lock it away somewhere else. You have to solve the puzzles, that will ultimately lead to his work, and unlock it, so that you can continue the job or at least take it away so that the rivals do not get their hands on it. Event Structure The event will be divided into ​5 parts​ :● Label to begin​ - Prof. RISPR has hidden the first clue in a diagram, which you have to label. Participants will be asked to label a diagram. There will be some encircled spaces in the blanks which will give them the clue for the next spot, guiding you to the place where you have the next clue. ● Protocols​ - The protocol for various techniques that Prof. Rispr uses in his lab, which only someone who is well acquainted with lab work will know. However, the protocols have been jumbled up, and these protocols will be given in a jumbled way. They need to put it in correct order to get the next clue. For example, there is a four step protocol. When they arrange it correctly, first number gives the Block and other three give the room number. ● Name the Scientist​ - In the room that you have now unlocked by arranging the protocols in the right order, you see a lot of scientist's pictures, on a slideshow. These are people that Prof. Rispr collaborated with, or was inspired by. Pictures will be displayed and teams have to write names of the scientists. Pictures will be displayed continuously on screen in a loop. The clue is again in encircled blanks, revealing the next location ● Complete the puzzle​ - When you reach the next room, you find the next level of encryption of Prof. Rispr's nobel prize worthy work. It is a puzzle, broken down into pieces. Now it is up to you to fix the jigsaw puzzle, which is going to reveal the next clue. There will be a two-sided puzzle. Some biology diagram on one side, according to which they will complete the puzzle and on the back clue will be written. ● Wheel of Fortune​ - The final clue and last hurdle before gaining access to Prof. Rispr's work is a wheel. Spin it, answer the question that follows, and unlock the work that is going to change our understanding of the world forever. The participants, on a first come first served basis, will spin a wheel to select a specific topic( microbiology, molecular biology, synthetic biology, biochemistry, etc..) and they will then be questioned upon that topic. Whoever answers correctly first, will then be the winner.
