You've heard murmurings around the city about a wise, elderly gnome having a change of heart. He must have information about where Frosty's Snowglobe Machine is. You should find and talk to the gnome so you can get some help with how to make your way through the Data Center's labrynthian halls.
Once you find the Snowglobe Machine, figure out how to shut it down and melt Frosty's cold, nefarious plans.
A change of heart, I have had. Once I was among the gnomes plotting to freeze the neighborhood - wrong we were. Help you now, I shall.
The path to the old secret lab begins in the far East wing of the Data Center. The hallways are likely pitch dark, hmm.
Outside the building, the former employees left a code - a clue to the route. Search near the Data Center for it, you should.
A story I recall: ten years ago, a computer person like you found a lost intern inside the Data Center. But that was before the reconstruction - the current layout may not be the same, hmm.
Task: Search the Data Center’s past in the historical archives of the Internet. Useful information there may be, yes.
Solution
We quickly find the reference to the code on the walls of the data center. If we mark the bricks labeled with 1 and 0 and then use CyberChef and the “From Binary” recipe to derive the code “imanoK” or, conversely, Konami from this data.
The original sequence for the Konami code is Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A.
Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out how to modify this code to find the right path, so I made myself a pot of coffee, grabbed a few donuts, and set off until I found the right combination.
