the lost database

ACCESS challenge

start

Just in time… or almost

The school’s IT department has just discovered that a critical student database has gone missing! The principal is counting on you and your team to recover the lost information before an important school audit. The only clues available are inside an old Microsoft Access file, locked with multiple security layers. Your team must solve puzzles related to Access tables, queries, and reports to unlock the final code and retrieve the lost data before time runs out!

Look at the laptop

ONE MOMENT!

Before starting, you need to review the Tour of Access, so you can overcome the challenges without any issues. Where could it be...? Maybe there’s something at reception.

📧 Urgent Message from the Principal 📧

Subject: 🚨 Emergency! The Student Database is Missing! 🚨

Dear Students, We have a serious problem—our entire student database has vanished! Without it, we can’t access grades, schedules, or even lunch accounts. The school audit is happening in less than an hour, and if we don’t recover the data in time, it could mean total chaos! Our IT team discovered an old Microsoft Access file that might hold the key to restoring the lost information. But there’s a catch—it’s locked behind a series of encrypted puzzles. That’s where YOU come in. I need our best problem-solvers to crack the code and retrieve the missing data before it’s too late. 🕵️‍♂️ Your Mission: Solve the Access puzzles, unlock the final security code, and restore the database. 🔑 Final Goal: Enter the correct 5-digit access code to recover the missing database. The future of the school is in your hands. Good luck!
