Know When to Walk Away

Know When to Run

The walls of the safe are 2 feet thick. It has heat sensors, vibration sensors, motion detectors, and every other sensor you can and can’t think of. They will know you’re coming long before you are coming.

But the safe is the easy part. Becky can crack any safe. It’s located 8 stories underground and the building is designed like a maze. When you step on the elevator, you’ll notice that it goes from the basement, no subbasements, to the 110th floor. You must take a second elevator from the 120th floor. So, you have to go to 110, you’ll need a 15-digit code. Then take the stairs up the remaining floors. On floor 115, you’ll need another 15-digit code.

When you do reach the elevator, you’ll need a 3rd 15-digit code just to get on it. It will take you 5 stories underground. Take another 3 floors down the stairs. At this point, you must be buzzed in from the inside.

Once you get inside and you make it to the safe, you’ll need the 35-digit code to open it. Once you retrieve the treasure inside, you’ll still have to get out of the building.

Easy! Who’s with me.
