Byte, the nefarious genius next-door neighbor dog, is threatening to ruin life as we know it. Decrypt his secret messages to discover his plan and stop him before it's too late! If you are the one to stop him, you will get fame, fortune, and the admiration of the masses!
Luckily, you have access to the latest technology - a quantum computer. To decrypt the messages, your computer can't have any errors. And with so many qubits, which are sensitive to the slightest disturbance, it will take all of your wits to prevent their collapse!
Outwit Byte and your opponents to protect your computation and stop him ... before it's too late!.

Qubits are made with different technologies, and some are more tolerant to heat than others. Super-cooled computers need to operate far below freezing!
Qubits are sensitive to magnetism. Superconducting qubits are the most sensitive, whereas neutral atoms are more naturally resistant.
Vibrations come from either from movement or sound. At the Taylor Swift concerts, she provides the sound, and the audience provides the movement!
Radiation enters the atmosphere from outer space. When we are lucky, we can see the effects in the Northern Lights!
Across the village, an absent-minded chef has been using quantum gates to fix his cupcake orders in Qupcakes.
Finally, in Tangle's Lair, you search Tangle's vaults for spare parts but using simplification rules to accelerate quantum circuits being used as pass codes to locked rooms.
Vibrations come from either from movement or sound. At the Taylor Swift concerts, she provides the sound, and the audience provides the movement!
Shields are used to protect against a disaster event. Make sure you choose the right shield for the event! Discard the shield and place the disaster event card back in the draw pile (at the location of your choice).
Other parts were found in the yard of the local vampire blood bank, and villagers put them in their secured vaults navigated by the entangled twins (Twintangled) Fran and Ken.
