Material Exploration

Teddy bear tea party is created by a series of mechanical and cryptic puzzles. This is project designed for the new developing escape room in the Red Fox Escape Room. The teddy bear is related to a childhood memory of a girl who's name will remain hidden. The goal of the players is to collect and associate this childhood memory to the correct person. 

The first part of the puzzle is to find the batteries from the riddles provided in by the teddy bear. After receiving the clue from the teddy bear the players will use the information received to solve the lock box. The lock box can be unlocked when both mechanism on the walls are solved. With the photo album collected from the lock box the players should find and collect the tea set displayed in one of the pictures. Lastly the players will need to arrange the tea set in the correct order to read the name written on the bottom of the tea cups.

 Physical Fabrication

During this studio I learned how to work with different materials, especially wood as it is the main material we used to create the lock box. We experimented with the different mechanisms with different materials and used a combination of wood and plastic and 3D printed elements. It was very challenging to create a series of puzzle that relates and connect with one and other. As a team we had to spend a lot of time brainstorming and planning out the different steps. I think we worked very well as a team and I grew in communication and collaboration skills.
