The Ticking Time Bomb

Set-up:

Let’s play a game. We will test if Manila’s police force can save the very citizens it has vowed to protect. Inside this vault is a bomb set to explode in 90 minutes. Your clues to disarm the bomb are this celphone and locked box which holds the code to the vault. The clock is ticking. Solve quickly.

Unlike the first two games, Chained Chamber and Justice for Jamila, Ticking Time Bomb does not take place in a room. It is hence advisable to come in comfortable clothes and shoes as you will be doing a lot of brisk walking from Mystery Manila’s headquarters along c5, to Eastwood City across.
