Narrative/Platform Ideas
- Fairytale Escape Room
- Have puzzles/riddles themed around fairytale stories
- Could have players trapped inside a cabin (Hansel & Gretel inspired) and have to make it out in time before being eaten/attacked/etc.
- Murder Mystery Escape Room
- Someone has been murdered in EBF and you’ve been trapped by the killer in the library
- Have to figure out a way to escape before other people in the house are attacked!
- VR Escape Room
- Could model a virtual space that resembles the EBF library
- Incorporate more “physical” puzzles this way (can model digital objects that players can interact with)
- A balance of riddles/physical space puzzles could be more feasible in VR
- Could implement multiplayer puzzles
- i.e. video game style, like having two people have to press a button at the same time
General Physical Mechanics of Escape Room Puzzles
- Use the big wall of books to hide clues in
- Lots of paintings to hide clues/puzzles behind!
- Could have QR codes behind paintings/in books that lead to a digital puzzle that produces a word or clue that is used in the physical space to get to the next puzzle
- i.e. digital puzzle output is a word or riddle-style hint that leads players to investigate another physical object in the room
- Escape rooms I’ve liked have had riddles/word clues more than physical puzzles, so could lean more towards brain-teaser type of fun
- Makes building our escape room a bit easier if we don’t have to worry about physical manufacturing
