Star Sleeper Homepage (Screen Reader Version)

Hello! Are we glad you showed up for Mission Z!

There is an alien spacecraft that is bombarding the Earth with an unknown form of sound waves that's keeping everyone on the planet from getting a good night's sleep! The aliens know that we "have" to get a good night's sleep each night to do our best, and they plan on taking over our planet by keeping us awake until we turn into sleep walking zombies. Please, help us!!!

Now...Commander Garfield and his Sleep Squad have already broken into the space ship and located the source of the sound waves. The problem is, they have to get thru 5 solid steel doors to get to it. That's where YOU come in IF you're willing to help!

We need you to help break the codes locking each of the doors. The codes are in the form of sounds. There are 4 different sounds, and each one matches one of the 4 arrow keys on the number pad. You need to turn the number lock off and use the arrow keys to repeat the sounds.

The computer will first play just one sound, which you have to repeat by hitting the matching arrow key. Then the computer will repeat that sound and play two more sounds which you have to match, then three, and so on.

There are 5 rounds of sounds that you need to complete to open each of the 5 doors. Each new door will be more difficult to open than the one before it.

When you crack each bunch of sound codes and unlock each door, you will hear a different sound letting you know you can proceed to the next door. Remember! Each door will be more difficult than the last!

Once you have ALL of the doors unlocked, Commander Garfield and his Sleep Squad will be able to rush in and disable the sound generator so we can all get back to having a good night's sleep!

"You" are the only one who can help us! So, if you are ready and willing...Let's get to it!! Time is running out!
