## Solution
Converting the colors on the wall to hex, and then converting that to plain text, which gave us the flag.

## Explanation
At the top there were 16 different colors, that stayed still for the whole duration.
The colors below came together 2 and 2, and were going for about a minute.

Seeing that there were 16 colors at the top, and how the colors came in pairs, we began to think that they had to be hexadecimal numbers.
We figured that the ones standing still at the top would have to indicate what number or letter they would have to be. Starting from the left, noting them down as 0-9 and A-F.

By noting down the rotating colors, and connecting them to the colors at the top, we got alot of hexadecimal numbers.
Putting them into a hexadecimal to plain text converter, we got something along the lines of;
"This is the flag: EPT{c0l0r_m3_h4ppy}"

## Solution
Moving the pieces of the puzzle to open the box, which reveals a QR-code that gives us the flag.

## Explanation
When I entered the room, there were alot of these wooden boxes around on tables, with chairs next to each of them.

First I started moving the pieces around randomly, not really having a goal in mind. After a while, I started thinking about how I didn't really know what I was looking for, and stopped for a moment to just look at the box.

Eventually I remembered there was a hint with the task;
"Hint: Try to figure out what squares move the lock hooks, and how the locking mechanism works, this will make the challenge easier."

After thinking about this, and trying to open the box a little, seeing some movement to the pieces in the bottom left corner, I figured I had to get the empty square down there.

Moving the pieces around, trying to get the open space to this area, I eventually got there. I kept trying to open the box, keeping the påen space in different places in that area. I then realised there was a hole at the far bottom of the left side, which made me try to keep it open there.
I was now able to open the box.

In the box there was a QR-code that sent me to a site with the flag. Since I can't remember it, and the QR-code website is now down, I cannot retrieve the flag again.
