LetterMap is an escape room puzzle oriented around geography and learning in general. It fits the theme of childhood by bringing back memories of kindergarden and school. There are three components: the map, the postcards, and the pronunciation guide like in most kindergarden classrooms. Scattered around the escape room are postcards that were sent by a friend while they were on vacation. The postcards give you the cities the friend went to and what order they went to them in. When the cities are marked down on the map, and lines are drawn between them, it forms the letter P. This corresponds to P is for penny on the pronunciation guide. If you solve the puzzle correctly you get the name Penny.

In this studio I learned a lot about puzzle making and geography. There were many issues when making the project: the printer broke, apparently Charleston is a very popular name for a city, annoyingly, and the map was too small when printed on one piece of paper, so we had to print it in sections on four separate pieces of paper. But I overcame those challenges and learned so much about all kinds of things. We had several prototypes, using different maps and letters. The pronunciation guide was a late addition, before I added it the puzzle used a list of names.
