Organising an escape game

In the beginning of September we started to work on the Escape game. The teachers told us that we should did create two challenges on three because Sydney's students were working on the third challenge. The main theme was water and we decided to take  th Legends/mythology of the Loch Ness, the Titicaca lake and Odysseus which was imagined by the Australian students.

- The Odysseus challenge

Imagined by the Sydneysiders. The Sartrouvillois were communicating with them and it's only the week before, at the High school Evariste Galois, that we created the challenge with their instructions. It's the week before the escape game played that we assemble together the orders. The six steps (crossword puzzle, riddle, translation greek-english .We have met the difficulties to create the enigma where someone must be tied and put a pencil in his mouth (a strange instruction!). We have changed this part, the player must just be tied and put ear plugs.

- The Titicaca lake

When we started to create the Titicaca challenge we thought about the plot of the story, we finally chose to hide some parchments to tell about the original legends of the Titicaca's lake to our guests. The first parchment was on a little library, the second behind a picture of a puma and the third in a glass box.
In the beginning we had chosen to hide one of the parchments in a chest and hide a key in a fresco. But our group decided to change those things because the fresco represented too much work and the part with the chest was too difficult for our guests.

In the beginning we were slow and stuck because we didn't have any idea of what we should have done, but finally we made all of the details in the last hours, it was like a run and it was very funny.
