-	=== Container ~~traps~~ ===	+	== Hacking ==
		+	Via the use of the hacking tool, a Contestant may attempt hacking electronic devices. Devices are ranked by level, which is an indicator of their difficulty level.
		+
		+	* Level 1: Container electronic locks
		+	* Level 2: Most computer locks .
		+	* Level 3: Certain computer locks, control computers for FL/HS locks.
		+
		+	=== Hacking mini-game ===
		+	When attempting to hack a device, a hacking mini-game begins. The objective of the mini-game is to take control of the System the hacker is invading, generally for the purpose of unlocking something such as a door, or obtaining access to a particular area or specific data.
		+
		+	As stated above, each system has a varying difficulty level, which depends on the system one is attempting to hack.
		+
		+	The hacking minigame is essentially a word scramble puzzle. The amount of letters to unscramble depends on the Level of the system being hacked. These letters form the password necessary to enter into the system; once fully unscrambled, the Contestant gains access to that system.
		+
		+	The words are generated using the '''&loginwords''' command, they are then scrambled at random by the GM.
		+
		+	When the Contestant believes they have the correct sequence of words, these words may be entered; the process takes 1 turn and burns 1 use of the hacking tool. * If the guess is correct, the system is hacked into successfully, unlocking access to whatever the Contestant was looking for.
		+	* If the guess is incorrect, the system remains locked, but if any individual words are correct, the GM must tell the player which words they are.
		+
		+	Hacking continues until unlocking the system, the Contestant chooses to stop, or until running out of uses on the hacking tool.
		+
		+	Depending on the Contestant's Lockpicking skill level, the Contestant may begin with certain advantages; see [[Skills]] for more details.
