The USDA Foreign Agricultural Service is hosting an event spotlighting Saudi Arabia, a major player in the agricultural sector. Just like the rice purity test gauges purity levels, this event showcases Saudi Arabia's significant investments in food manufacturing.

Eight rows of bricks, each with two rows of a different color, make up the initial stage of the escape in the breakout game. The colors are in ascending order from the bottom: yellow, green, orange, and red. The player must utilize a single ball and either the walls or the paddle underneath to strike the ball against the bricks in order to smash as many of them as they can.
