  • Welcome!

    Your team has been tasked to solve the mystery of the missing Radiologist! 

    Dr. Pickalock, a famous and esteemed radiology researcher, has been missing for two days. She was last seen by her lab assistant in the laboratory working on some exciting new radiology developments to help in the diagnosis of patients. 

    Ordinarily, she would be in her lab or at home. Two days ago, her lab assistant went to bring Dr. Pickalock her phone which she left in the faculty lounge (Dr. Pickalock is somewhat absentminded) but did not see her. Concerned, he looked around the institution for her but to no avail. The lab assistant also checked her house with an extra key but the house was empty. Dr. Pickalock has disappeared with no way to contact her!

    Your task is to search her laboratory facility to find clues to her whereabouts.  Good luck!  

  • Image-231

  • Looking around Dr. Pickalock's lab, there are no visible clues but the lab assistant provided some information on her favorite places at the institution.  Now where to begin? 

  • Lightbox
  • Image-11
  • Test Tubes
  • Image-10

  • You arrive in the library and start looking around. Now what would Dr. Pickalock be doing in the library? You notice a beat-up old locked file cabinet with a note tucked behind.  On the table near you are several print-outs and documents, and a few books pulled down from the library shelves.

          

    The note reads:  "My experiments are so important but also dangerous.  I safeguarded everything under lock and key.  I’ve been working too long with too much caffeine and not enough food.  Goodness, gracious - now I’ve forgotten the code to getting into the file cabinet.  I’ve been researching “Pioneers in Radiology Imaging” for a class discussion I will be giving to a group of 1st year medical students next week.  Maybe the clue to getting into the file cabinet can be found in my notes and research for this talk?  I’ve got to break the code!  I do remember that P=16."

  • Fill in the names and then use characters in the squares and the alphabet to get the numeric code: A=1, B=2, C=3, etc.

  • Marie Curie, Elizabeth Fleischman, Raymond Damadian, Alice Ettinger, Wilhelm Röntgen

    The answer is 95178.

  • Incorrect, try again.

  • Image-35

  • Correct, outstanding!

  • You open the file cabinet and find an index card, a note and another smaller locked box. There is some sort of writing on the index card. You read on the note: "Once again I have confounded myself. I know I have the clues to figure this out but I just can't remember what they are. I need to get into this other locked box because it contains a piece of the final answer."

  • Image-28

  • Use the information on the dose limits and radiation poisoning posters and be careful with your math!

  • Dose equivalent limits …, All Others = 500
    Fetal Total Dose Limit = 5
    Permanent Epilation Dose = 7
    Dermal atrophy phase 1 = 10
    Annual education exposure = 1


    (500 x 5) - (7 x 10) + 1
    2500 – 70 + 1 = 2431

    The answer is 2431

  • Correct, you're doing great!

  • You have opened the lock box and found a notebook with information scrawled inside.

  • Image-83

  • Level?  What does that mean? It seems like something important that we need to remember.  

  • Incorrect, try again.

  • Image-40

  • Arriving in the reading room, you see several workstations with large glowing monitors.  On the walls around the room are several posters and pictures.  On one of the workstation chairs is a large shipping envelope with Dr. Pickalock's name and address.  On a nearby countertop is a locked box with a weird lock. 

    The lock on this box is a 5-digit alphabetic lock, not numeric. The combination must be a word. What is it with all of the secrecy? Upon opening the envelope, you discover a series of radiographs. Some of them have arrows.  Hmm ...

  • Image-87

  • Use the names of the bones: rib, clavicle, ulna, ileum, ethmoid to solve the puzzle.

  • Use the first letter of each bone: clavicle, ulna, rib, ileum, ethmoid to solve the puzzle.

    The answer is Curie.

  • Incorrect, try again.

  • Image-52

  • Correct, nice work!

  • You discovered that the alphabetic lock opened to the code CURIE.  Inside the box is a blacklight flashlight. Blacklight!? That could show us a hidden clue! What is in the room that we can shine the flashlight on? Maybe there is correlation between the radiograph clue we just discovered and what you need to shine it on?  Very curious ...

  • The answer is: Shine the light on Madame Curie.

  • Incorrect, try again.

  • Image-65

  • After shining the flashlight on the picture of Madame Curie, you reveal an unusual code on the picture.

  • Use the Morse Code chart and reveal the letters from top to bottom.

  • The asnwer is IMAGING

  • Incorrect, try again.

  • Image-59

  • Correct, good job!!

    The answer was IMAGING.

  • Imaging? What does that mean? It seems like something important that we need to remember.

  • This clinic is a mess! 

    Looking around you see a test tube rack, test tubes strewn around and a page torn out of some kind of textbook. There are words that feel familiar and letters on the tubes. Seems like it is important but what does it mean?

  • Look carefully at the textbook page to put the test tubes in the correct order.

  • After putting the test tubes in the order of the hand bone chart, the letters will spell out basement.

    Capitate B
    Hamate A
    Triquetral S
    Lunate E
    Trapezium M
    Trapezoid E
    Navicular N
    Psiform T

     

    The answer is BASEMENT.

  • Incorrect, try again.

  • Image-74

  • Correct, quick thinking!

    The clue was BASEMENT

  • Basement? What does that mean? It seems like something important that we need to remember.

  • Sitting on the corner desk is a laptop. It may contain some needed information but what is the password?  Dr. Pickalock, like many of us, has a tough time remembering that type of information so the password is probably one word.  Searching around the laptop you find a bunch of notes attached to the wall as well as some posters. 

  • Image-92

  • Use the periodic table to match the numbers with the elements to spell out a word: N, Dy, Te, Am, I

  • 66 = Dy

    7 = N

    95 = Am

    53 = I

    52 = Te

    The answer is DYNAMITE

     

     

  • Incorrect, try again.

  • Image-96

  • Correct, great intuition!

  • You have access to the laptop and found some video files. Wonder what is in them and if they may have a clue? Radiologists are trained to find little details. Maybe you need to look carefully.

  • Watch the videos carefully and spell the word that means a place, building, or receptacle where things are or may be stored.

  • Each video contains one or more letters that reaaranged spell repository.

    The answer is REPOSITORY.

  • Incorrect, try again.

  • Image-110

  • Correct, that's right!

    The clue is REPOSITORY

  • Repository? What does that mean? It seems like something important that we need to remember.

  • Where is Dr. Pickalock?

  • Image-180

  • Before proceeding - did you complete the puzzles in all four rooms?

  • Where is Dr. Pickalock?

  • Image-124

  • Use the four words IMAGING, LEVEL, REPOSITORY, BASEMENT to identify where Dr. Pickalock is.

  • The final answer is BASEMENT LEVEL IMAGING REPOSITORY.

  • Incorrect, try again.

  • Image-118

  • Congratulations! You have found Dr. Pickalock

  • Dr. Pickalock is working so intently on some imaging exams that, at first, she does not hear you enter. Eventually she turns around, smiles and asks "What's all of the fuss?"

    You immediately call the the lab assistant who is extremely relieved and overjoyed his mentor has been found.

    Thanks for all of your hard work and diligence.
