Horcrux Hunt - Escape Room Style Party: Weekend Progress

This weekend I chipped away at a few more party projects. I am always super productive during football season. 😋

The Three Broomsticks sign is progressing, with the sign cut out. Priming and painting are next!

In addition to the sign, I've been working on a lot of digital files. While I have found lots of great content at the RPF, many props and paper goods need to be made specifically for the party. Photos will be posted post-party, to not give away any hints in advance to the attendees. 😉

Finally, I purchased an Enigma 37 from Creative Crafthouse 'for the party'... Okay, for fun. Because it is awesome. His shop has some fantastic wooden puzzles, games and toys, I highly recommend checking it out.  But here is the Enigma 37 machine below. 

And if you're curious how it works, he made a short YouTube video of how to use it, HERE.

Horcrux Hunt - Escape Room Style Party... Planning in Progress... !

After the "Very Harry Birthday" this summer, we had several of our adult friends request that we invite *them* over to have Harry fun. Husband and I discussed throwing an adult-only Harry party, and how we could give it an adult 'slant' - I wasn't sure how many adults would be on board with a piñata and potions class. 😋

We have decided to throw a 'Horcrux Hunt' Halloween party. Planning is underway, crafting an escape-room-style party- full of puzzles, blacklight hidden clues, and codes to break. We have been filling our evenings with crafting and planning, on top of the back-to-school schedule! ... SO... I'll be posting the periodic process sneak-peek photos, but full details won't be given until after the party!

Current project: Three Broomsticks Sign! 

We are making the downstairs bar into the Three Broomsticks for the party. I have sketched out the sign design onto a piece of foam, and will be cutting it out this weekend. I purchased a new foam cutting tool, so I'm excited to put it to use. No more Xacto blade cutting and jagged edges to even out! Painting and lettering to follow...
