Slimepocalypse
Each year for Christmas, I construct a series of complicated puzzles and riddles for my spouse in order to lead them to their presents. This annual tradition started in 2023, and each year I try to add extra layers of complexity. Before this project, these scavenger hunts would include pig pen cypher, shifted alpha numeric codes, riddles, jigsaw puzzles, and puzzle boxes.
The Solution
The extra layer of complexity I decided to add for 2025 was based around “keys” I started by including a lock pick challenge, then a combination safe, then spiraled through ideas until I landed on including a custom built video game among the scavenger hunt path. Almost entirely hand drawn and coded, this point and click adventure game took me about 6 months total to complete, and pushed my creative limits. It was my very taste of developing art and story for a video game, as well as my first time writing in game code. Now that I have a taste for it I will absolutely continue developing more games!
