Escape rooms are a kind of adventure playground for the mind.

One enters the room as a team andĀ usually has 1 hour to Ā escape by finding a exit button or key.
The only way to find them is through solving riddles andĀ combining props in the room in the right way.

Michael Flatau is an engineer for several of those rooms in Kaiserslautern-Germany.
His request - To create a flyer that transports the atmosphere of those rooms and anticipate

I came up with an overall layout that folds into a cube, with the cube beeing an analogy to the room.Ā
Various designs were created in Illustrator as interchangable modules for the outside faces, with theĀ
modules foreshadowing potential riddles, without being to specific.
The costumer picked his favorites modules,Ā that were then finished in Photoshop with texture and shading to give it a rougher more plastic look.
2 actual riddles were hidden in the inside of the cube, with the first one leading to a secret webpage
and the second leading to a token if used in conjunction with the webpage.
(Also the reason I canĀ“t showĀ the full internal design at this point)

The style was mostly inspired by steampunk. Mechanical gears and Enigma-like machines were some
of theĀ topics. Art deco ornaments were introduced to give the look a different tendency
and avoid the impression that all rooms are in the same style.
Some of the initial sketches. Only a fraction made it into the final product.
