Aqua Avengers Power Play
Power Play is an “escape room” style game where you must use your cunning and intellect to figure out the puzzles. But these puzzles can be tough to figure out! Most of the puzzles have little to no instructions on how to solve them. It’s up to you and your friends to analyze the puzzle and see if you can figure out what’s going on. Think hard, work together and do your best!

Puzzle #2
What players will see:
Explanation
This solution can be found by competing the alphabet on the cover of the code book. Once all the letters have been filled in next to their morse code equivalents, the students must deduce that the waves are dashes and the drops are dots. Then they must find the appropriate set of dots and dashes/drops and waves to find the letters that make up the word.
Hints
Hint #1:Take note of the yellow pad.
Hint #2:Is that Morse code?
Hint #3:Finish filling out the letters on the book's cover, then use it to crack the code on the pad.

Hints
Hint #1:I wonder if you can make any calculations here?
Hint #2: It is usually best to put things in order.
Hint #3: The dates are subtraction problems. Do them then match the shapes of the locations to the numbers 1-5.
