Franklin Hall is the hub of The Media School, located right next to the iconic Sample Gates off of Indiana Ave. and Kirkwood Ave. This is where you will start the scavenger hunt.
From the main entrance of Franklin Hall, walk down the steps or take the lift to the basement level and take a right to find room 006.
Head down to the basement to find the ICR and all it has to offer! There are two entrances to the area – one that is easily accessible from the main staircase toward the main entrance of the building and another that is accessible by elevator or side staircase.
From the bottom of the main staircase, turn right to find the long hallway of rooms off to the left. As you walk down the hallway, you'll pass the ICR on your right, and the game design facilities are to your left. Look for signs directing you to the lab through a few doors.
