Operation Zoomies

Hourglass advertising (Tyler Stuart)

Operation Zoomies

During the pandemic, in-person entertainment utterly halted. Hourglass had to pivot hard and fast to stay in business and our first option was to develop a new way to interact with our existing escape rooms. One of the first experiments we tried was creating a print a play entirely from scratch. One that didn’t require an app or some sort of physically assembled decoder, just paper and a pair of scissors.

Overview

In operation zoomies you play as a cat burglar trying to foil an evil Dr. dogs plans but along the way you find yourself caught up in elaborate set of puzzles and traps. You have 1 hour, can you save the day before Dr. dog destroys the moon?!


If players look up (16) in a player index it leads them to ….

…. this page. A poster of the moon with some shapes around it.

(55) leads them to this set of lanyards

 

strange keys when lined up….

When lanyards are overlaid on the poster you can see the word FELIS spelled out
