  • Inspiration Strikes

    While we’ve been working on our escape room project, one thing that I’ve had in the back of my mind is how, as part of our requirements, we need two physics based puzzles. Originally I had an idea to do something with a scale/balancing beam. This would allow the users to pick up items scattered…

  • Passcode Accepted

    As an idea for something our escape room game I wanted to utilize a 3D model for a keypad. I wanted to be able to allow the user to click buttons numbered 0-9 as well as confirm and clear buttons. Unfortunately the searches that I did for free 3D models on the internet didn’t really…

This is exciting to me partially because I love solving puzzles, but also because my team has decided to create the…
