I am building an escape room themed like an Indiana Jones/Tomb Raider movie or games. Think lost temple (Aztec or Egyptian) style.
If you have ever done an escape room and thought “I’d like to design a puzzle” this is the contest for you!
I am looking for Puzzle ideas, that can be printed on a 3d printer (I have a FlashForge Creator 3, so my 3d printer supports a large build volume 300*250*200mm) the puzzle can be in many parts if big is your thing!
The puzzles should be themed to the room and can use electronics/servos/sensors/switches anything I could build/control with an Arduino is fine.
internally mechanical and “puzzle” designs are also welcome.
The puzzle can be a single object or a set of objects (ie a locked object and a tablet with picture graphs as the solution/key to the puzzle.)
Let the imagination run wild!
there is the opportunity for continued consulting work for the winning designers,
I am happy to take messages of ideas and give feedback, Q/A etc
Software: As long as I can import it to Autodesk 360 and then to my printer I don't mind what software is used, flexible on this as long as I can print it!
Puzzle look and feel
Time to solve, reset ability
"fun factor" "cool factor"
consistent with the theme of the room
The sturdiness of the design, pieces need to be durable and snug and able to take the expected abuse.

while you can include the STL files, they are an older format and hard to edit so having the 'source file' is a must. If you used a particular program that's totally fine I can easily get whatever program you used if needed to make any edits.
So basically, you can upload the STL and then the source file in its raw save.

not a necessity but depending on your design and your idea may be good to have so I totally understand your puzzle, happy to discuss it over messages.
Designer
I am on it and completed 70 % of the work.
I want to know that do you want Arduino codes too?
Buyer
I am more than happy for you to message me with ideas and i can give feedback/thoughts. I have two printers so I can also prototype print usually within a day or so.
Designer
As in would you directly print the files if it convinces you or are you open to improvement iterations once you are interested in the idea?
Buyer
We are trying to avoid traditional 'padlocks' and plain combination locks we can buy from the hardware store. However, a themed combination lock would be acceptable.
The puzzle can be small or larger, have a few steps or plenty of steps and can even be part of a 1 - 3 puzzle group.
it could be a box, or something we that would be mounted on the wall, floor or cabinet etc.
Designer
I wanted to know about your expectations from us. For example, if there is a padlock type of locking mechanism do you need us to include that too or just the puzzle box with info for the common locking mechanisms.
Buyer
You can always export the files so I can open them in Fusion360 anyway. I am only new at Fusion360, and I have tinkered with Solidworks too, so whatever you want to work with is good for me!
is your project limited to AutoDesk softwar only or we can use other softwars? as for my participation I use SolidWorks 2017 and PhotoView 360, does it meet your requirements?
please to feedback as soon as possible so we can participate!
thanks for your time and consideration...
