Escape Room Motorized Zoetrope

Current Status: Prototyping & Building

A custom-built electromechanical puzzle 3D printed in PETG. Players must align panels to solve a physical puzzle. When aligned correctly, the device is remotely triggered by the game master, which activates the spinning drum. The player peers through the slits and adjusts the speed of the drum with a potentiometer to find the correct viewing speed of the hidden clue.
