Escape from Wizard Prison Party: Escape Room Game, Part 1 Wizard Shops

** For all Escape from Wizard Prison party posts, see the Escape from Wizard Prison section of the blog HERE**

 The Escape from Wizard Prison party started with a video that Husband put together. As it contains movie clips, I will not post it here... but it was awesome. 😉

The video gave the objective of the Escape Room: You have escaped from a wizard prison, and must find the RAT that framed you. You have 45 minutes to reach the objective, or your time will run out. Then it transitioned to a faded countdown clock for 45 minutes in the foreground... Gameplay begins!

The players were given a clipboard with scratch paper and a bus ticket.

We told them to follow the clues they were given, each clue would lead to the next. If they kept to the clues, they would stand a much better chance of getting through in 45 minutes.

The bus ticket and the video were the first clues... There were two boxes with the bus logo on them in this room. One box was locked with a 3 digit number combination lock, the other could be opened.

Inside the non-locked box was a puzzle that needed to be put together. When assembled, the puzzle read "Check Your Ticket," with an image of the bus in the center of the puzzle, and three differently sized circles at the bottom of the puzzle.

The ticket has two numbers on it - the ticket number (16195) and the cost: 11.

... Neither is 3 digits.

However, there was also a coin area of the wizard shops. Perhaps the ticket cost meant something?

Inside the brass scale, there were several coins. Most of these coins were gold, but a few were silver. The silver coins were in three sizes with different values....

The puzzle had a single large, medium, and small circle that perfectly matched the coin sizes. Only one of each. The ticket cost was 11, so the coins need to total 11.

There was only one solution that was equal to 11, with one large, medium, and small coin. This combination opened the locked box.

Inside the locked box was two pieces of paper, one a rune and the other a finger pointing, and a small key. 

The finger point lead to the dark arts sign in the dark arts alley. The Rune will come into play in that room!

So... on that note... Next stop, the dark arts alley!
