ATTRACTIONS FOR A FAMILY PICNIC – JOINT FUN AND PUZZLE-SOLVING OUTDOORS
Case study: Mobile escape rooms straight from Gamescape – an attraction for a family picnic on the 800th anniversary of the city of Mikołów.
Client: Municipal Sports and Recreation Center in Mikołów
Number of participants: 120 – 140 people
Gameplay time: 3-hour of entertainment, provided during the celebration of the city’s 800th anniversary
Language: Polish
TASK FOR ESCAPECITY:
The organizers of Mikołów’s 800th-anniversary celebrations approached us with a request to provide entertainment during this event. This activity was to be aimed mainly at families with children and youth. The entertainment was to take a few minutes.
We asked ourselves what could be created to engage every participant and provide fun. Postawiliśmy więc na nasze czarne skrzynie zawierające sporo zagadek, nazywane również mobilnymi pokojami zagadek.
We chose our black boxes containing plenty of puzzles, also known as mobile escape rooms, as the most appropriate product for a diverse group of people. Therefore, we set guidelines for organizing this event:
- Adjusting the level of puzzles to a very diverse age group
- Maximum usage of the duration of one game
- Possibility for several teams to play at the same time
ATTRACTIONS FOR A FAMILY PICNIC -HOW TO ARRANGE MOBILE ESCAPE ROOMS FOR SUCH AN EVENT
LOGISTICS:
Having the task of creating a space full of puzzles, we chose our mobile escape rooms. They are convenient to transport and easy to operate so they are an ideal product for such an event. The only challenge for us was to implement the entire game to ensure fun for all participants of the event at the same time. The solution was to prepare several mobile escape rooms with different difficulty levels.
SCENARIO AND PUZZLES:
We refined our boxes to have several difficulty levels. Thanks to this, both: the youngest and the slightly older participants were having great fun at the same time. Additionally, we decided to introduce a time limit for solving a single box, so that everyone who wanted to try their hand could have a chance.
The big advantage of this type of puzzle is the repeatability achieved by experienced Game Master in no more than a minute. It guaranteed us time efficiency at its highest level.
MOBILE ESCAPE ROOMS FOR THE 800TH ANNIVERSARY OF MIKOŁÓW – IMPLEMENTATION:
On the day of the event, we arrived in Mikołów. After setting up all the equipment in a short time, we waited for the first brave souls. Just a few minutes after the picnic started, people began to approach the mysterious boxes, asking what they were. After a short introduction to the world of escape rooms, everyone wanted to try their hand as a code breaker.
The task for all of the teams was to find tokens, which were specially personalized with the sponsors’ logos of this event. Some managed to do it in a few minutes, others took a bit longer to overcome the box. However, as a result, everyone managed to collect all possible tokens.
Of course, our Game Masters were on duty throughout each game, supervising and guiding our outstanding daredevils on the right course.
The interest grew to such an extent that we had to create a waiting list for teams. As a result, each team managed to face the box full of puzzles.
ARE MOBILE PUZZLE ROOMS A GOOD CHOICE AS ATTRACTIONS FOR A FAMILY PICNIC? EFFECTS AND SUMMARY:
Looking at the interest in our “puzzle corner” we can safely say that the idea was brilliant and, most importantly, working. We could see how family bonds tightened, but also how competition among friends grew.
This innovative event provided participants with unforgettable experiences, focusing on interactive entertainment and creative thinking. Each box was full of mysterious brain teasers, enigmatic puzzles, and logical challenges that required cooperation and intelligent reasoning. Participants had the opportunity to work in teams to solve puzzles and uncover their secrets.
Mobile escape rooms provide an excellent opportunity to build family bonds and communication skills, encouraging joint thinking and action. This unique event certainly enriched the atmosphere of the city’s jubilee, offering residents and visitors unforgettable experiences and adventures.
