Play Test Escape New Haven's New Large Group Game
"Escape New Haven invites you to immerse yourself in "Zachariah's Marvelous Invention," an expansive team-building experience that transcends the traditional boundaries of gameplay by coming directly to your location. This event revolves around the mysterious disappearance of a notebook belonging to the renowned but enigmatic inventor, Zachariah Allen. Said notebook is rumored to contain insights into what could be his most groundbreaking invention yet. In an exciting twist, the Global Research Commission has announced that it will award grant funding and exclusive patent rights to any university team that successfully deciphers Allen's cryptic notes and completes his visionary project.
Participants are thrown into a thrilling narrative where they must collaborate and compete simultaneously. Teams are tasked with conducting research, forming alliances, choosing their materials wisely, and setting the correct parameters to complete the invention. The game challenges players to solve intricate puzzles, engage in negotiations, and adapt swiftly to evolving information, all while aiming to set the "curing temperature" accurately to secure victory."
This experience will be held in the main space of MakeHaven, in the front area. We will split up into teams and compete to solve the puzzle first. All activities will take place in the main space and will be primarily hands-on activities on a table-top and personal interactions. This is event is open to MakeHaven members and their friends & family.
We will have snacks, BYOB.
