You’re doing pretty well but if you’re going to get out of here you’ll have to RUN FASTER

You may enter the tunnel SOFTKILL. That’s your name now.
NOTE: Once each player sends you the right photo you can calculate their time for Part 1 if you’re not too busy (see “Finishing Up”)
Break
Once people get the SOFTKILL password they can take a break and wait for people to catch them up in the tunnel. Players who get there first may post some extra pics to the group chat - you can just ignore these!
This game has a very wide range of finish times so if one or two are very behind the rest to finish, you may want to give them a set time limit, after which you just walk them through the answers till they get to the tunnel. Once the time is up, take everyone off mute, go grab a drink, compare notes and get ready to compete - the puzzles in Part 2 are a bit simpler so everyone has a good chance at being first to finish even if they were slow initially.
You might want to use the break to calculate how long everyone has taken to finish Part 1 - there’s tips on how to do this in the “Finishing up” section. But you can do this later if you prefer!
Make sure everyone is ready to go again, then post to the group chat:
Oh no! It’s time to go and all you have to protect yourself is this THIMBLE (page 12)

“Stiffkey” (page 29)
I used to live in Stiffkey, but after the “incident” I’m much happier up the coast in SALTHOUSE
NOTE: Once each player sends you “Stiffkey” you can calculate their final time if you’re not too busy
Once you’ve given the last person the SALTHOUSE solution… you’re ready to finish up!
