$1000 Mystery Treasure Hunt

My game developer side is very interested in crafting interesting social experiences and seeing how users interface with them. In video games, it can be super easy, fast, and inexpensive to rapidly prototype these kinds of ideas, but I wanted to give a go at trying this in the physical world.

In 2017, this took the form of an ARG-like treasure hunt on my college campus. I collaborated with my roommate to anonymously set up an elaborate game and get people on campus to play it. After sitting on all this footage for two years, I finally sat down and finished it. It was a huge project, and I’m super proud of the result.
