greek mythology

War and Civilization

Storyboard

Enter the room

When the players first enter the room, two side walls light up with images of greek soliders at war, but the central wall remains dark. In one corner of the room, a greek solider statue holds out his hand, while the Athene statue standing diagonally opposite to the solider holds out her hand as well. Both statues are 2.5D.

Activate central wall

Players' task is on the central wall. In order to activate the central wall, at least two players have to hold hands to connect the hands of the solider and Athena. This completes the circuit that is required to activate the central wall.

Tangram puzzles

Once the central wall is activated and lit up. Players can see a number of tangram puzzles arranged into a greek temple pattern that represents civilization. Next to the temple is a silhouette of the Trojan horse that stands for war.

From civilization to war

While two players are holding their hands to complete the circuit, the rest of the players have to take apart the temple pattern and use the puzzles to put together the Trojan horse.

Success and reset

Once all the puzzles are in place, the door would be activated. When the next group comes in, instead of putting together the horse, they have to build the temple, corresponding to theme of civilization resurgence after war. This task alternation can be used as the game resetting mechanism.
