"When the game begins, the player in possession of the treasure map of Professor Atomix. This map shows the location of six fictional towns in which the player must go and answer two puzzles on a particular scientific topic in each city. The themes are varied: physics, chemistry, earth science and the Universe, algebra, computer science and biology. For each of the twelve questions, the player has access to three indices that are of Unisciel Beebac resources or related to the subject. The questions are of unequal difficulty: besides multiple choice questions, there are others that require a written response more or less developed, which will be analyzed within 24 hours (real time) to grant sesame or not . Because that's the goal of the game: acquire enough passwords in six locations to open the safe. We must therefore read and watch video documents carefully to correctly answer the questions asked by residents."
