In my game, it was an electrical junction box and I put an electricity symbol next to the coordinate number as a hint. Because the GPS satellites have a +-5 m error, you should find some object in that radius that cannot be missed and you should put the envelope next to it. When they got there, they found an envelope with another clue in it. The location was across from my apartment, next to the high school entrance. That means that the players are not necessarily locked in the room and that’s why the GPS puzzle is a very good option. As soon as I changed the goal from escaping the room to finding the hidden treasure, a new world of possibilities opened. Ok, so how is it possible to get out of the room in the middle of an escape room game? That is a logical question, but as I said before, thinking outside the box brings lots more fun and unexpected puzzles. Using any GPS app, they can easily get to the destination.
Because they were allowed to use everything in the room, it was time for them to put their smartphones into action. At least 1 out of 5 people for sure will recognize that the number is actually GPS coordinates. In my case, it was a hidden piece of paper with a big number written on it. This puzzle is one of my favorites because it triggers thinking outside the box. When the players put the paper underwater, the message appears again, and that is the moment when they realize that you are an awesome game master. When it becomes completely dry, the imprint becomes invisible. You can see that the message written on the dry sheet of paper also makes a slight imprint on the wet sheet of paper.Īllow it to dry completely.
You don’t have to use chemicals or invisible inks, there is an easy way to do this. The trick is that there is an invisible text on the paper, which appears only when it is put underwater. Actually, you have to prepare this one at least one hour before the game starts.
