I'm interested in finding out if there are any attractions, whether it be in an amusement park, tourist area or stand alone business that are similar to this basic idea: The attraction consists of a series of rooms or chambers where people have to figure out a clue, solve a puzzle or break a code in order to "complete" the room and move onto the next one. Basically a real life version of Myst/Raven-style video games or perhaps something based on Indiana Jones (or similar movies) themed puzzles. It might be something similar to a Ripley's Believe or Not or a Guinness Book of World Records type of business (in size and clientele, not theme of course). That's a rough description, but I think you get the general idea of what I'm looking for. I'll provide an additional tip for great answers of course! Thanks in advance for the help and feel free to ask for as much clarification is needed. |

I rather doubt there is such an attraction for the practical reason that the operator wants maximum customer traffic, and this kind of attraction would fill up with people standing around and puzzling, besides the fact that many would follow the crowd, and within a short time the "answers" would become known. Disney doesn't mind people standing around waiting in line - they paid at the gate - pay-to-enter operators want the people to be in and out within a couple of minutes. But I may be all wrong, I have been before. Good luck, Myoarin |

I may have to eat my words. The most entertainng maze that I have seen was one with clear glass and mirrors over head-high as dividers, all set at 60°, 120° ... angles, which could be re-arranged. A delight not just for those in it but also for those who could watch them: bumping into the glass, or peering at themselves in surprise. |

Hmm? So I don't have to eat my words? There was a comment here that mentioned something similar to what Ryanfields was asking about. |

I had previously posted this comment, but it was removed because I ended with the URL of the product in question. Google said it appeared promotional. I am not affiliated with the company I was talking about, so I will repost without the URL. The product in question is called Magiquest, and you can easily find the URL with a search. ----- My parents are in the amusement industry and recently came home from the IAAPA convention talking about this new concept that was the same basic idea. It seemed to be targeted to younger kids. Essentially there is a series of rooms or stations and each kid receives a "magic wand," which contains a computer chip. As they progress through the maze, the story evolves based upon what you have done previously. I hope this helps, cpaliga |
