Morse Code Concept Refinement

By Eager Beavers

Project Overview

In this museum adventure room, players will use an outdated communication method: telegraphy. As players enter the room, the notice pictures of the various methods and machines humans have used over the years to communicate and send messages over long distances. Some of these machines are on display and players get a chance to look at them and explore them closely. As players are exploring the room, an alarm is heard throught the alarm system in the room. Players realize that the alarm sounds weird and is repeated beeping sounds. They realize that the alarm is actually morse code. But how to they crack the code?

They start exploring around the room and see that the pictures on the wall all have captions in English and morse code! They can use the captions to crack the morse code they hear, which is C-A-L-L, CALL! They notice a phone on the wall and realize they should use it. They dial C-A-L-L and wait...

A British man answers the phone and gives them a warning that the museum guards are coming. They need to trasmit a message using the telegraph to open the door. The code is O-P-E-N, OPEN! The players use the captions once more to find the morse code translation. Once they find the code, the tap it on the telegraph. A door opens and they move on to the next room for another adventure...
