WEEK 4 | Workshop Escape Game

Well, we are most of the way through creating our escape game.  

THEME:  Animals escaping from a zoo
STORY:  An 'event' has occured that causes some animals to escape from their cages at the zoo.  These three animals (each one controlled by a player) have to progress around the game board, exploring rooms and collecting items to enable them to escape out of the one of three gates in the zoo fence.  
MECHANICS:  Dice rolls determine movement.  Players search rooms at the zoo on the gameboard.  Players pickup items in order to perform an action or progress the story.  Not all the animals can be in the same room as each other (eg. lion attacks the monkey).

Unfortunately we did not get time to playtest our design.  Next weeks class will be focused on our own playtesting, game refinement and then a final playtest with another group.
