2016-06-15 (W) Charged: DesertIrish

Last night I was helping a friend, Angeliki Beyko, do some work a local business which specializes in physical puzzles for adults called Riddle Room. Alliteration aside it is a place people rent for a session and get “trapped” in a room where they have to figure out their own escape. Sound like a video game? It should. Instead of pixel hunting for a light switch behind the fireplace though you physically walk around a room and solve puzzles before a timer runs out. The video shows Angeliki triggering a sliding door which contains a faux chemistry lab. To enter the lab, players follow clues to discover the correct switch combination which will release the door.

This is totally Angeliki's project, I showed up at the last minute to help draw a wiring diagram, then select and connect some components. Fortunately I also recorded a couple chapters before helping with this door project so the blog got an update and a door became fully operational.


Door project with explanation

Enough background.
----------

Another pair of chapters was recorded, 62 and 63. These chapters were recorded faster. They didn’t take any less time but they were read faster. It was a lot of action compared to the rest of the book so it was difficult to read at the usual measured pace. Hopefully this comes across as frantic, which the scenes should be, instead of rushed or hurried.

One of my personal fears is that this story is boring. I had great fun writing it and I hope people enjoy it but there might not be a wide audience. It doesn’t have the pizzazz of comic books and it doesn’t have the buttoned-down feel of classical literature. Rest assured though, the future of the Charged world will have more action but it will be justified and reasonable. And hopefully cool.
