I also thought handing each group a mysterious case was a lot more exciting than just the stack of photos alone.

Writing on the mirror just made sense since they needed it to view the backwards blood message too, and it was just good creepy decoration. You could use really any three digit word on the mirror, at first I was going to use DIE with combo 485, but I thought HID was more curious and drew more attention that it might be more significant than just a message. The case add-on was a lot of fun and was interesting to see which groups made opening their cases the priority as opposed to some groups who initially spent a lot of time inspecting the other items in the room. This was a fun little starting puzzle to get to the real puzzles. This first puzzle took about 10 minutes before groups started figuring out that HID was the combination. I did not draw their attention to the mirror. I did give them the clue that upon waking up in the apartment they found a note scrawled on a piece of paper that read Roses are Red, Violets are Blue, A is 1 and B is 2. Upon starting the game I gave each group their box and immediately they had to figure out how to open it. The letters HID are a standard A1 Cipher. I also had placed a mirror in the room in which had the word HID written in red fingerpaint (to look like a bloody message) and like a finger smear beside the D like the person was actually trying to write the word HIDE. One puzzle I added at the beginning was to order a case like this for each group. In it, I put their puzzle picture cards, a pair of scissors, and tape in each box. I had to give a lot of hints, as the game was quite hard, but tried to let them push through it for a while before dropping any clues. Overall the game was enjoyed by all, kids really liked the challenge. We mostly used the 4圆 picture puzzles and added a couple of real props of our own.
