They discuss how to playtest escape room games, the art of hiding clues in plain sight, the importance of including a balance of different puzzles to keep everyone playing entertained, how to choose materials wisely (and cost effectively), and what makes the perfect “at-home puzzle experience”.</p> <p dir="ltr">The Case of the Curiously Correct Blueprints is an audiobook mystery, so they also talk about the different challenges to consider that were different when compared to designing a “standard” escape puzzle – although, there are no rules when it comes to escape rooms!</p> <h2><a href="http://knowdirectionpodcast.com/podcasts/GDU_E114_CuriouslyCorrectBlueprints.mp3">Listen Now!
