Hi JE,
The students will attempt to infiltrate a secret society known as
the Apex of Khufu to acquire information about a mysterious
artifact. To do so, they must undergo the online initiation of the
Apex of Khufu. They are asked questions about history, art,
literature, science, etc. and must find the requested information
to proceed. There are a couple of place where they will need to
text a character in the game and receive a reply. If you want, you
could text for them and inform them of the reply when needed.
There are other online services that allow texting without a cell
phone. Try Google SMS:

I would recommend going through part of it at least so you are
familiar with the quest.
Good luck!
