Breaking Out

Start

Welcome to Breaking Out, an interactive, online escape room!

During your last period study hall, while deeply engrossed in studying for your upcoming Science Exam, you unintentionally drifted off to sleep. Unfortunately, the Janitor didn't notice you tucked away in the corner and locked up the school for the weekend with you still inside.Luckily, your school had foreseen such situations and implemented a scientific fail-safe to aid students in such emergencies. Now, with the clock ticking and your exam looming, you must rely on your knowledge and problem-solving skills to unravel the puzzles and riddles scattered throughout the school, leading to your escape. If you find yourself stuck, don't fret! Your school has cleverly hidden hints throughout the premises to guide you along the way. It's a race against time as you utilize the information you've been studying to break free before it's too late!

The four bases found in DNA molecules — adenine (A), guanine (G), cytosine (C), and thymine (T) — form the genetic code that determines the characteristics of living organisms.

• They pair up in specific ways forming the famous double helix structure of DNA.
• A with T
• G with C

Phospholipids have a hydrophilic head and hydrophobic tails, crucial for forming cellular membranes.

Steroids are characterized by a four-ring structure, serving as signaling molecules or precursors to hormones in biological systems.

Triglycerides are composed of a glycerol molecule bonded to three fatty acid chains, serving as a primary storage form of energy in living organisms.

Carbohydrates are a primary source of energy for the body and are found in foods like bread, pasta, fruits, and vegetables.

• Simple carbohydrates are quickly digested and examples include table sugar, honey, and fruit juices.

• Complex carbohydrates take longer to break down and examples include whole grains, beans, lentils, and starchy vegetables like potatoes.
