How to Play a QR Break In Game?

Retrieve one Artifact Card from Mrs. Friest at a time. Work with your
teammates to complete the challenge attached to that artifact.

Talk with your teammates and share what you’re thinking about each
artifact. You might need to work together in order to lock in the best score.

Test out what you think you know! Talk out your thinking with your
teammates. If you’re wrong, think some more and try again.

When your group solves a clue, head to Mrs. Friest (also known as The
Narrator) with proof of your success for a new Artifact Card. Complete as
many challenges as you can before the timer runs out.

QR Break In is a timed race between student teams. You will work with your
teammates to solve one puzzle at a time. As soon as your team is through with a
puzzle, race back to Mrs. Friest to retrieve a new one.

Use your chromebook’s QR reader (search for QR in your menu).

Narrator Cards
Two narrator cards are available when you and
your team decide that you are not able to move
forward without a little help.

These hints are given to you by the facilitator of

the game who is watching and observing the
group. Cash in these cards by visiting The
Narrator at any time.

Narrator cards are not answers, just some

information to help your group get over a hurdle
or see the information in a new way.
Beware of the Penalty Box!

Certain artifacts are boobytrapped with a Penalty

Box, which will cost you precious seconds of time if
they’re not up to snuff the first time you submit
them.

Booby traps will cost you two agonizing minutes of

timeout as rival teams race ahead of you. So make
sure to double check your work before you submit!

feel less alone. When you feel less alone, and like you
have a community of people behind you, alongside
you, I believe you can live a better life.”

moment of doing, you felt clarity, you felt certainty,
then why feel regret later?”

it to our GoogleSlide (QR Code).

you’ll earn 2 minutes in the Penalty Box.
WATCH THIS “We believe the one who has power. He is the one who gets to
write the story. So when you study history, you must ask
yourself, Whose story am I missing? Whose voice was
suppressed so that this voice could come forth? Once you
have figured that out, you must find that story too. From
there you get a clearer, yet still imperfect, picture.”
― Yaa Gyasi, Homegoing

“I feel like my life is so scattered right now. Like it's all
the small pieces of paper and someone's turned on the
fan. But, talking to you makes me feel like the fan's been
turned off for a little bit. Like things could actually make
sense. You completely unscatter me, and I appreciate
that so much.”
― John Green, Will Grayson, Will Grayson

 “This is the problem of history. We cannot know that which
we were not there to see and hear and experience for
ourselves. We must rely upon the words of others.”

“When things break, it's not the actual breaking that prevents them from
getting back together again. It's because a little piece gets lost - the two
remaining ends couldn't fit together even if they wanted to. The whole shape
has changed.”
― John Green, Will Grayson, Will Grayson

 “This is the thing: If you have the option to not think about or
even consider history, whether you learned it right or not, or
whether it even deserves consideration, that’s how you know
you’re on board the ship that serves hors d’oeuvres and fluffs
your pillows, while others are out at sea, swimming or
drowning, or clinging to little inflatable rafts that they have to
take turns keeping inflated, people short of breath, who’ve
never even heard of the words hors d’oeuvres or fluff.”
