Readme.txt

In case our app becomes unplayable due to the eminent change in the advancement in technology, we've created a Readme to highlight the plot of our story.

**SPOILER ALERT**

This is the area where our users will be navigating. They do NOT have access to this map beforehand, and are given clues that will lead them to these areas.

The user is greeted and prompted to use the UB Tour Guide app to learn about the various locations around UB 

The user is given an easy clue, and is prompted to go to the Tim Horton's in the student union. This is an easy task to get the player used to the game mechanics and give a taste at what the rest of the experience will be like. This task is *purposely* boring.

After the user finds Tim Horton's, they're prompted to travel to Lockwood Library, after they're given the clue on the left.

Without giving away too many spoilers, after the user finds Lockwood, a hacker takes over the application and threatens the user to follow his demands. The user must then find a book in the library and scan a QR code located next to it. The user must complete this in 5 minutes or risk losing the game and (*disclaimer not real*) being killed.  

Just when all hope seems to be lost, Victor the helpful hacker takes control over your application and tells you to follow his direction because he has played the game before, and knows how to get you out alive! The user then must decide whether to trust Victor, or comply with the hacker's orders.

Here is where the gameplay splits. Depending on what the user chooses will lead to different riddles. If the user decides to obey the hacker, the player can listen to the hacker's interesting background story. 

 

The user receives another message from Victor or Hacker, and he informs them to go back to the CFA.

As they enter the Park Building, the last riddle pops up. This time it is a nonsense quiz. It would not take too much time for them to figure it out.

This is a Mensa Society riddle used by Victor. He can not give you directions directly since the hacker still has access to all of the application's traffic In an effort to encrypt his help, he gives instructions in the form of clues.

The user receives another message from Victor or the hacker according to which team they choose, and they informs them to go back to the Park Building.

After the user has completed all tasks, they're presented with a prize for successfully making it through the UB Survival Game app!

When the player gets the last riddle right, they finally get the last QR code to the final destination. It is near a vending machine on the first floor.
