"By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes."
The Tragedy of Macbeth
DECEMBER 04
Hello. We are taking a break from reading and discussing the play, but not from thinking about it. You have a task to complete; in order to learn about this task, you can click "Task #1" above, but it won't be as easy as you think. Additional steps need to be taken in order to unlock this task. It is your job, as a class, to work together and uncover how this task is to be unlocked.
Some things to note:
-
First, you may not use any references (such as websites or dictionaries) to help you. This includes your phone, so put them in the bin.
-
D will not be available to assist you in any way. In fact, do not even bother attempting to speak to her; you will be ignored. If you are hopelessly stuck, she might consider helping you...in about 25 minutes.
-
Be observant...look around you, but DO NOT just blindly wander around the room (the game will end if I see anyone doing that).
-
Work together; share your ideas with the group and let others share their ideas as well.
-
Think! The answers may not jump out at you and may, in fact, be hidden. Try to work out the clue to find the answer (these are "riddles" which require thought).
-
When you believe you have determined the password, click on Task #1 above and enter the password (you do not have unlimited tries, so be thoughtful in your approach and don't guess random words).
-
Have fun!

Your quest begins where you find the answers...
