Underneath the covering, I’m sure is a standard 12 button key pad, but this extra craftsmanship and care in game making exemplify the consistent thought process that not only challenges but guides players. It’s pointed out to players by the game master during the rules section a wooden box with carved wooden buttons with runes inscribed on them. Perhaps my favorite example of this is the keypad that unlocks the final door. All of the technology that appears here is either thematically appropriate or hidden as best as humanly possible.
The ultimate result of this approach can be felt on a deep and intrinsic level in Knight’s Quest because narratively the Knights Templar occupied the castle and hid their greatest treasures within it, using only what was available to them at the time and by extolling virtues/skills others of their order would be sure to have the fact that those skills just happen to be the same ones needed by escape room players feels almost like a happy accident. Project: Escape, as a venue, has a pretty unique approach to designing their experiences here the themes are selected first, the room itself is then built and decorated, and once they are physically standing in their gamespace, the staff (all of whom, we are told, can add design ideas) propose challenges and puzzles that fit uniquely into the room that has been constructed. “For only the third time in our history, Partly Wicked has encountered a nearly perfect room! Beginning with the staging, Knight’s Quest embodies a consistently coherent experience as is characteristic of Green rooms, the thrill of being drawn into the room’s environment, the organic nature of the challenges, and the intentional camouflage of anachronistic technology makes this room as much fun to simply inhabit as it is to solve.
