This project is a virtual escape room designed to challenge participants' knowledge of clinical trial protocols, data handling, and research best practices within the context of a fictional "Decker Protein" clinical trial at Yale. Players must solve a series of puzzles to unlock access to critical information and successfully complete the mission.
You are a researcher tasked with fast-tracking the revolutionary "Decker Protein" clinical trial at Yale. To prove your team's expertise and gain access to the necessary data and resources, you must navigate through a series of challenges simulating real-world clinical research scenarios. Each solved puzzle unlocks the next, testing your knowledge and problem-solving skills under pressure.
- Interactive multi-puzzle format.
- Challenges covering:
- Biometric code entry via knowledge questions.
- Matching patient symptoms to clinical trial protocols.
- Answering questions about clinical data handling and EHR navigation.
- Testing knowledge of secure storage protocols (GCP, FDA, HIPAA).
- A timed emergency response challenge involving solving limerick puzzles.
- Interactive clue discovery elements in each puzzle.
- Feedback mechanism for puzzle attempts.
- Progress tracking within individual puzzles.
- Timed challenge at the end.
- Success screen upon completing all challenges.
- Post-completion survey for user feedback.
- Click the link to open the game.
- Read the introductory message and click "Begin the Challenge!".
- Proceed through the puzzles sequentially. Each puzzle requires a specific action (answering questions, matching items, entering a code) to be solved.
- Follow the on-screen instructions for each puzzle. Feedback will be provided on your attempts.
- After completing each puzzle, explore the environment to discover clues for the final challenge.
- Successfully completing all five puzzles will unlock the success screen and a feedback survey.
-
Biometric Code Entry: Answer multiple-choice questions covering basic science and clinical trial concepts. The correct answers' first letters form a code needed for the final entry. Green lights track correct answers. After completion, find research notes for a clue to the final challenge.
-
Protocol Matchup: Match patient symptoms described in tiles to corresponding clinical trial protocols by clicking on them. After completion, open a storage cabinet to discover another clue.
-
Data Dilemma: Answer multiple-choice questions related to clinical data querying, Electronic Health Record (EHR) navigation, and adverse event grading (CTCAE). After completion, check a notification message for another clue.
-
Locked Storage: Answer multiple-choice questions assessing your understanding of secure storage practices for clinical trial documents and data, referencing guidelines like GCP, FDA regulations (21 CFR), and HIPAA. After completion, investigate a security alert for another clue.
-
Final Challenge: Timed Emergency Response!: Solve short limerick riddles describing critical clinical trial incidents within an 8-minute time limit. Enter keywords related to the correct emergency response actions to complete the challenge and escape.
