I was involved with a team creating The Eldritch Weekend, a spooky escape room event for 16-20 players involving four escape games and a final treasure hunt, held over a weekend in a manor house. We had to rig the entire set in a day, and derig on the same day the guests left, so it was quite an undertaking!
I helped design the overall story and the main set pieces, and also was responsible for creating the spooky-yet-comic video interludes which happened between the rooms, featuring mad scientist Prof. Dr. Loretta von Evilburger.
I also designed and built a full 1hr Elizabethan witchcraft and alchemy themed escape room which included reveals for a critical part of the story, and also the prop for the broken Summoning Seal that participants needed to find and reassemble in order to prevent the rising of the Great One in the final treasure hunt.
I have also designed puzzles for bespoke commissions, including several paper puzzles and a skeleton box with a hidden magnetic maze lid – when solved it pops out a key that opens the lock in the middle.
