The Plot:

​

• The audience walk into the canteen (dressed as a waiting room). They are shown an introductory video on the screens. An assistant with a clipboard will walk into the room through the fire escape. They will walk the players outside and then into camera and lighting, while giving them warnings for health and safety. They will walk through a narrow corridor, with warning signs. It will also have actors in it, with SFX makeup. The scientist will then enter, bringing the players into the main room. ​

• He walks the audience to his scientific equipment, which includes test tubes, conical flasks, tubes, clamps, etc.​

• As he speaks, he combines some chemicals and smoke begins to emerge. The scientist panics and presses an emergency button. Alarms blare and the scientist begins to breathe heavily. His breathing turns into coughing and spluttering, as he rolls up his sleeve to reveal intense burns and blackening veins.​

• The scientist slumps in the corner of the room, growing weaker. He points to a lab coat and whispers hoarsely “the pockets” before falling seemingly unconscious.​

• Inside the lab coat’s pocket is a letter. It states: “This is an emergency message written by Dr. Painter. You must find the CuRe. If this virus is released, millions of lives will be put on the line. I wish you luck.”​

• As they finish reading the letter, the doctor will regain consciousness and begin to writhe and groan in the corner.​

• They may see the capital letters in ‘CuRe.’ These capitals indicate that they are chemical symbols.​

• Using the periodic table on the wall in the viewing gallery, the audience will deduce that the chemical symbols are Copper and Rhenium. A cupboard is labelled “Chemicals” which the audience will search through to find beakers with Copper and Rhenium. Inside these beakers will be slime and one of the beakers will contain a key. The key will unlock a second cupboard.​

• Inside the second cupboard, there will be a magnet. This will be used for a magnetic maze with a metal item inside, where one person can see the maze and the other person is behind it with the magnet. The person who can see it has to guide the person with the magnet. ​

• The metal item will be a key. This key will be for the desk drawer.​

• The diary will be inside and it will have a piece of paper in it with morse code of "BED." They will use a morse code poster to translate it.​

• The players will then search the bed, finding the final key for the 3rd cupboard on the underside of it. This will be an opportunity for the actor on the bed to scare the group. The key will unlock the cupboard with the antidote inside.​

• Once the antidote is given to the scientist, the doors open and the audience are escorted out of the room by 2 people in white jumpsuits and masks. They have completed their task and saved countless lives, including that of the scientist.​
