Data Horror Escape Room

The filing cabinet looks old, battered and heavily used. Probably the Professor is storing lots of research data inside it alongside important documents. You try to open it, but it’s locked. On top of it lies a note with a mysterious list.

  1. The subject of your data
  2. Your name
  3. Your age when you collected the data
  4. The period in which your data were collected
  5. How much time you spent writing your article
  6. The data format(s)
  7. The length of time it takes you to commute to the university
  8. The data volume
  9. The cost of the storage space
  10. The terms of use
  11. The number of slices of pumpkin pie you ate during the data collection
  12. The publication(s) connected to these data
  13. The number of times your publication was downloaded
  14. Your favourite fictional ghost

That's not it.

The filing cabinet creaks while you pull it open. It's empty, except for one sheet of paper. In thick, dark letters, there's just one word: HORROR. You shiver and make a note of it.
