Build your own high tech Escape Room puzzles
A workshop from EMF 2024 by Tom Dixon, Eyal Danon, Chetan Padia
On Friday May 31, 2024 at – in Workshop 3 (Furry High Commission)
Come and learn how to make your very own Escape Room style electronic puzzles using COGS! COGS is a hardware/software platform used in the industry for creating and running all kinds of interactive live experiences such as Escape Rooms and Immersive Theatre shows.
You'll learn the fundamentals of using both COGS hardware and software in order to connect together all kinds of buttons, switches, sensors, lights, motors and more. We'll work in groups to build a number of different unique interactions that all link together to form our very own shared Escape Room experience.. which we'll then test out on unsuspecting festival-goers!
Ideal for anyone interested in puzzles & games, live experiences, creative technology and more.
No experience necessary, everyone is welcome. Under-16s must be accompanied by an adult, and both must have a ticket for this workshop.
