The Hidden Move is a puzzle built around child memories of chess and video games. This project was created in partnership with Red Fox Escapes in Cambridge, Central Square. Red Fox Escape's is opening a new room and was looking for new puzzle ideas. The room was specifically built around child memories which brought us to many ideas. However, our final puzzle idea was where you have to look for certain video game posters around the room that relate to certain chess pieces. By using certain descriptions on the posters the players had to put pieces on the chessboard in a certain placement. Once placed correctly the drawer opened up giving the players a name. To complete this puzzle all members would have to work together causing a connection between them for sometime. This has them remember and cherish the moment of them all helping and contributing together.

In this studio, two of my goals were envision and collaboration. I accomplished these goals in many ways. These included combining both my teammates and my ideas together. These ideas where chess and video games, so to put them together you would have to use as much imagination as possible. While doing this project, I also had growth in rhino and woodworking. This increased both my physical and digital fabrication skills. In the future these skills may come to use when I am designing group project that combines many random ideas. Using my imagination I could connect all of the ideas together and then model it online. Next I could then create it physically in the real world.
