It was a lot more linear than a normal escape room. Instead of everybody doing their own thing and solving different puzzles individually, we all had to work together to solve one puzzle before moving on to the next one.
One person would open up the puzzle and share their screen so we could all see it. The puzzles had a brief write-up setting up the story and describing what we had to do. They involved things like filling in missing information on a form, clicking on the correct spots on a map, or dragging and dropping items into the correct places.
While the one person had the puzzle up, the rest of us would search through files on a website looking for clues. We were given photos, dossiers, and other documents as evidence so we could direct the puzzle solver on how to complete the tasks. Once we completed the first puzzle, it unlocked the second puzzle and so on.
We completed everything but went 30 seconds over the time limit so it was considered a fail.
Gave my computer(laptop) a good large cleaning yesterday (blowing out dust with air spray, wiped screen and keyboard, bought a new mousepad because the other was getting gross, and cleaned my usb fan stand etc.) I should really get a new mouse at some point too if I can find a good corded one Feel great today
I got a letter from disability services this morning saying that they have approved my ESA application!! I can finally bring my baby bean (my puppy) to my dorm!!
Also happy that I set up a doctor’s appointment and ordered my dad a birthday gift along with myself . It’s a Dallas Stars Western Conference Champions t-shirt. Hehehe...
-I got delicious food

-It's the first day of fall break
I’m really happy about all of the good friends that I’ve made here. I feel a lot calmer and leas nervous about my posts than I was when I first joined a couple years ago. Of course, I still edit my posts like crazy due to anxiety but nowhere as much as I used to. If this is not progress, then Idk what is. I do wish I could feel this at ease when talking to my offline friends or make friends easier in person, then again, it has been awhile since I last saw them or gotten out of the house aside from grocery shopping.
@LadyDestani, it sounds like the challenge was very well organized and that you and your teammates had fun! It makes sense that the puzzles are more linear because it would be hard to try solving multiple puzzles simultaneously over the same call. XD
I'm happy to have a long weekend (Thanksgiving in Canada) after a very...everything sort of week of work. Looking forward to catching up with uni friends and touring @Dunquixote's island on Sunday. :3 I'm also happy to be slowly finding answers to the spiritual side of life with guidance from my S/O and his patience with helping me appreciate the small parts of life that make it beautiful and worth living. ☺
It's Canadian Thanksgiving weekend and I get to go to my friend's place tomorrow for a turkey dinner. There's only gonna be 5 of us there including my boyfriend but it still feels nice to have plans. My friend has never cooked a turkey dinner so I'm excited to see how it turns out. I'm in charge of bringing the pies.
