You are taken to a dark cave and your mission is to escape without being seen. Four doors in different colors appear in front of you.

The red one leads to a distant galaxy that has no oxygen at all.

The yellow door leads to a large tank infested with great white sharks.

The blue one goes back 66 million years, leading to the moment when the gigantic asteroid hit Earth and caused the dinosaurs to go extinct.

And the purple door leads to a beautiful island full of beaches and delicious food.

On the wall, there is only a clue that says: “Choose the door that is not a primary color”.

You managed to escape and were taken to that beautiful island. There, you find a needy citizen. He says his brother has been kidnapped by an evil mathematician and the only way he can escape is by solving a riddle. You head to the venue and arrive there at exactly 3pm. The mathematician greets you with an irritated look and a treacherous challenge.

“If you calculate the height of my tower, you can take my prisoner and go free with him. If you make a mistake, you’ll stay here forever. I offer three calculation methods for you to choose from: using long sticks, your shadow, or a long rope hanging from the tower.”

Now that you are safe and sound, head to your hotel to rest. This is when the restaurant manager comes to you for help.

He had left the place where the dinner was being served and members of his team reported that all was quiet. So they decided to close early. Before they closed the restaurant, the manager asked the employees to send a photo of the deserted establishment. “This is the photo I received. Everything looks empty. Apparently my team members were sincere, but something seems wrong. Can you help me find out what it is?”

When you were about to go upstairs to your room, the Human Resources manager requests your presence in the office. She needs help with the resumes she has received for the receptionist position. The woman is looking for someone who speaks multiple languages, and she selects three candidates. However, only one of them tells the truth. Sarah is from Belgium and speaks Dutch. Louise is from Switzerland and speaks Swedish. Marie is from Monte Carlo and speaks Italian.

It’s time to go to your room and get some rest. But oops: the elevator you entered is a trap. It leads to the attic, where three different doors appear in front of you.

The first door leads to the Amazon rainforest, full of dangerous snakes, electric eels and poisonous frogs.

The second leads to the Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the largest and most powerful ocean current in the world.

The third leads to the top of Mauna Kea in Hawaii. It is the highest mountain and the largest volcano in the world, measured from base to summit.

Only one of them leads to a safe place. Which is?

You came out of the cold cave and just want to get to your room. As soon as you enter, the lights go out and you hear the sound of iron bars coming down to the floor and huge chains vibrating. You use your arms to orient yourself and find points on a wooden surface. Then run your fingers over them. It’s a braille inscription that reads: “One of the three magic mushrooms on this table will help you get out of this place. Choose wisely. Otherwise, you will be trapped in this dark room forever. The mushroom on the left will give you great physical strength and give you healing powers.”

“The one in the middle will bring the electrical power back and you can see.”

“The one on the right will make you very small and invisible.”

Can you choose the right mushroom?

The next day arrives. You head to the parking lot to get your car. But the vehicle appears to be locked. There’s a padlock on it with a three-digit passcode on the passenger side door. Behind the object, you find a clue: ABC = 123!

On the floor is a sheet of paper that says BAD. Use the clue to find the password digits.

Now that you’re in your car, it’s time to shop at the mall. You enter a jewelry store. There, he discovers a secret passage that leads to a room full of gold coins, diamonds and other precious metals.

As soon as the owner sees you, he locks the door of the room (what a nicer store!). The man says that there is only one way to survive in that dark room: you have to eat a cupcake. But if you eat the wrong one, you will die. If you choose the right one, you can leave.

The first cupcake turns you into moss.

The second turns you into a badger.

The third cupcake will turn you into a snake.

Which cupcake do you need to choose?

The city mayor asks you to come to her office. She ignores the fact that you are now a badger. The woman says that something mysterious is happening inside one of the restaurants in town. Everyone turned into zombies. There’s only one human left in the local bar and you need to save him. But first, you need to identify it.

She shows a photo with three people. Only one of them is human.

Then the mayor takes you to a local school. The principal needs to decide which of the students deserves to go to space camp next summer. She selected all the students who had scored A on the report card and gave each of them a bean. The director said, “The person who comes back with the tallest beanstalk will win the prize. But no one can cheat.”

All the kids came back with big pots and plants full of little beans. Only one girl returned with a pot full of soil. As soon as the director saw the vase, she gave the prize to the girl. Because?

The mayor takes you to accompany an investigation. A man named Martin had just planted his vegetable garden and invited his friends to a party. But his wife disappeared. He called detectives and put three suspects in front of her.

Estevão said that he was looking at the tomatoes and that he chose one of them to try. Diana said that she was watching the zucchinis that had started to grow. Martin said he was taking professional photos of the flowers for his blog.

It’s time for your last test! You are entering an underground tomb and need to retrieve a treasure and make it out alive. As you go deeper into the tomb, you encounter a mysterious creature. She says the following: “You must correctly answer my riddle. If you get it right, the treasure will be yours. If you make a mistake, it will disappear forever.”
