Story: 

The king has vanished without a trace, his crown shattered and scattered across the castle grounds. Whispers speak of creatures that dwell within the surrounding fog. As royal investigators, you and your team are summoned to enter the castle, uncover the truth, and restore the crown before the kingdom is lost to darkness. Solve the puzzles and beware, nothing is as it seems.

​

Twist:

The king was no man at all, but a creature in disguise. When his enchanted crown shattered, its magic dissolved, forcing him back into his monstrous form and driving him to flee the kingdom.

Puzzle Design and Development

Final Puzzle: Crown Jewels

Overview:
Guests will solve puzzles throughout both rooms and recover 6 different gems that when placed back into the crown will reveal the truth about the king's location and recent disappearance.

To solve the puzzle, players must:

  1. Find all six gems by solving all puzzles between both rooms.

  2. Place the gems back in the grown and see the crown light up.

Successfully placing the gems back in the crown and seeing lights indicates the successful completion of the escape room and the disappearance of the king will the revealed.

Flow Chart:

Find gem1→ find gem 2 → find gem 3 → find gem 4 → find gem 5 → find gem 6 → place gems in crown → crown lights up indicating completion

How does it work:

​This puzzle was accomplished by using magnets, fairy lights, and spare wires. First, we cut the fairy lights, separating the battery pack from the string of lights. Next we drilled small holes to put the spare wires through, so they reached all over the crown. Next​
