On the Subject of Following Orders

This is the first module that wants you to succeed so badly, it’s yelling the answer at you!

• On the module, there is a switch that can turn a speaker on or off.
• This speaker will relay three to five “shouts” that will tell you directions.
• There is also a directional pad on the module that will move you from tile to tile on the five by five hieroglyph grid.
• The hieroglyphs denoting the rows and columns will glow to show you which tile you are currently on.
• Ten of these twenty-five tiles are trapped, and only one of the tiles will solve the module upon landing on it.
• The shouts will lead you around the trapped tiles to the exit tile based on the table below.
• Stepping on a trapped tile will reset all special tiles and randomly generate ten new trapped tiles, and a new exit. The previous trapped tiles will briefly glow red.

Decoding Shouts:

• The table on the next page will ask questions regarding the sequence of shouts from the speaker, and your current location.
• To read this table, first, you will find which row and column have the most criteria present in the shouts you received.
• You will then move in the direction with the most criteria, to the first space in that direction that has the hieroglyph with the most criteria.
• Every non-trapped tile will give you a different set of shouts that will always lead you in the correct direction towards the goal, so if you ever take a step in the wrong direction and survive, the new shouts will lead you in the correct direction.
• In the case of a tie, find the square on which you’re standing on the module and find that same location on the 5 by 5 table below. Use the direction or glyph that cross at that square depending on what’s tied.
• In this table:
  • Direction refers to the word being said in each specific instance.
  • Voice refers to one of the three possible people giving directions: a man, a woman, and a child.
  • Shout refers to a specific instance of a voice saying a direction.
• ONCE IN A BLUE MOON: Microsoft Sam will just tell you the destination.
