SUBJECT: SECURITY CODE

Hi Team!

As just mentioned, we recently got our new alarm system installed in our house. As I unfortunately entered the wrong code three times in a row, the only way for me to open the door at this point, is to log in the super pin.

But now the problem… if you know me better, you are aware that I am very serious about security. Of course, I would never just write a password down somewhere.

Same this time: I have hidden several hints in my personal notes that would eventually lead to the super pin. Unfortunately, this time I might have added a few too many steps along the way and it got a little out of control…. My notes don’t seem to make sense anymore.

I would really love to attend your eLT Conference and I am desperate to get out of here! Can you help me to “escape” by finding the correct super pin?

You are helping me?! Great!!!

All my personal notes and documents have already been sent to the Marriott Hotel. They are waiting there for you in the Foyer (close to the coffee machines). To make sure that my personal things don’t get into the hands of strangers, they  will only be handed out in return to a codeword.

So your first task is to identify the codeword. A hint: Take a very close look at all of your group member’s name tags…

Best of luck and hope to meet you soon in person,
Thomas

P.S.  … One more thing: It is completely OK to use the smartphone … for some of my hints, you might even need it.
