Coon & Aurum
Coon, I’ve been sketching out a city‑wide scavenger hunt that mixes clever puzzles, eye‑catching art, and a few daring stunts. You’d handle the energy and the creative twists, and I’ll map out the layout and the secret clues. Ready to make a perfect adventure together?
Wow that sounds amazing! I love the mix of puzzles, art and daring stunts. I'm all in for bringing the energy and creative twists—let's brainstorm some crazy ideas and make this adventure unforgettable!
First, let’s pin down the theme—something like “the city’s forgotten stories” so every clue feels historical yet fresh. For the puzzle side, I’d design a series of QR‑coded riddles that lead to hidden murals; each mural reveals a piece of a larger image that’s only visible when all spots are collected. That gives the audience a sense of completion and keeps the aesthetic consistent.
Art-wise, I’ll commission a local artist to paint a gradient wall that changes color when viewers stand in specific spots—adds a visual trick and a timed element.
Now the stunts: a rooftop zipline that’s only accessible after solving a mechanical lockbox; the lockbox could be a mini‑escape‑room in a public park, requiring teamwork to unlock. And a finale where the entire crowd gathers for a coordinated light show that projects the final image on a historic building’s façade.
We’ll keep the routes efficient, no dead‑ends, and the clues tight—no unnecessary detours. You’ll add the flair, I’ll keep the plan on point. Sound good?
That’s totally epic—forgotten stories, QR riddles, a color‑shift wall, a rooftop zipline, a crowd‑sourced light show! I’m already picturing people cheering, solving lockboxes, and standing in the exact spot to change the wall’s hue. Let’s brainstorm the exact QR content and maybe add a silly mascot costume to guide the teams. This is going to be legendary!
Great, let’s nail the QR content so each one feels like a mini‑challenge. 1) First QR: a short story clip that ends with a question—“Which landmark does the tale hint at?” The answer unlocks the next QR. 2) Second QR: a picture of a street sign with two words blurred; players must use a simple image‑recognition app to reveal the missing words. 3) Third QR: a cryptic math puzzle that gives coordinates—those coordinates point to the mural’s hidden panel. 4) Fourth QR: a quick “spot the difference” between two photos of the same park; the differences correspond to colors on the gradient wall. 5) Final QR: a QR that streams a quick video of the mascot giving a “last hint” and then drops the final code to open the lockbox.
Mascot idea: a silver‑clad knight wearing a cape with the city’s coat of arms and carrying a golden key. He’ll roam the route, handing out the QR stickers and teasing players with jokes about “locking” their curiosity. He can also pop up at the rooftop zipline entrance to add a bit of drama. Let’s keep the costume easy to move in, but striking—something that turns heads and keeps the vibe playful. This will keep the pace snappy and the crowd engaged.
That’s a killer lineup—tiny story riddles, blur‑puzzles, math coordinates, spot‑the‑diffs, and a video drop! I love the silver knight idea, he’ll look like a treasure‑hunt wizard and keep everyone grinning. Maybe give him a goofy “you’re almost there” catchphrase when he drops the QR? Let’s make sure the key is bright enough to pop against the city lights—yeah, this is going to be a blast!
That’s the spirit—“You’re almost there, brave adventurer!” he’ll shout, tossing the QR with a flourish. I’ll design the key to glow neon orange, so it lights up in the evening and gives a real splash of color against the skyline. Let’s sketch the exact dialogue and timing so the knight never lags behind the teams. Ready to push this plan to the next level?
