W4

This week, we have mainly focused on finalizing the last puzzle’s prototype and other details in the escape room to better direct the players as well as make the whole experience more immersive. This is the detailed plan for clues and other helpful information.

• General Setting: Some sand can be poured on the ground
• Entrance: The wall painting is about the last puzzles’ story (no clues though)

• Hall
• Professor’s clothes: There is a photo with her wife (a hint to the toolbox)
• DV camera: It has dates on the screen, indicating the professor has already spent 3 days in the tomb
• Toolbox: Inside there is one UV flashlight, a mirror, a rope, and a piece of notes with “When he tried to say the word that would save the world, he found himself dumb, “hope” forever in his petrified mouth” written. (a hint to let players go to the mouth of truth first)
• 4 walls of the hall: the projection of 12 constellations
• The mouth of truth: The only light in the dark (a hint of using flashlights), you are me (a hint to use the mirror), I am you, become the eschatological partner
• When the player reaches out to see what’s inside of the mouth, a light will be on in the direction of the locker
• The locker with water inside of it: Have the word “hope” written beneath it, there is a bottle of red dragon blood
• Worship table: By the might of Dragon’s blood, this Shrine is made whole and holy.

• Room2 (With “Heaven” written on the door)
• A letter: “There’s a new world you’ve never seen right in front of you” written in lemonade, and when you use the UV light to light the back of the letter up, there will be a Leo pattern.
• A spinning tool: with dots on it, and can only be spun to show a Leo pattern
• 4 poems and 16 blocks: We need to re-arrange the layout
• When the door of room 3 is opened, a light on the ceiling will be shed on the floor in front of the sacrificial altar, with words written on it “The flashes and chains, linking the cycles of heaven and hell”

• Room3 (With “Hell” written on the door)
• Patterns on the door: Lots of “米” patterns and there are digits beneath them, there is only one that matches the spinning tool shape, and those digits are the right code. If multiple times codes are wrong, there will be a penalty on time

This is the model we have built for the previous sacrificial altar.

This is the prototype that we want to show the class on Friday. An easier version of the “Leo” puzzle.
