Mystery game of Linnanmäki

When

Spring 2017

Where

Linnanmäki amusement park, physical environment. The game was commissioned by Linnanmäki.

What

The Linnanmäki Mystery Game is a 15-200 person mystery game that sets in the Linnanmäki amusement park area. Linnanmäki uses the game as a B2B product and runs the game by themselves. The game is only in Finnish.
In the game, the big group of players is divided into teams of 5-8 people. With a task to save the whole place from a villain, the groups set out to the park with locked caskets. By finding the clues and tracking down the answers from the amusement park surroundings the teams will eventually open the caskets. After doing this, they find a piece of a puzzle, that is needed with the rest of their group. Together the teams will then crack the final puzzle together and defeat the bad guy.
For the game, we designed 35 different caskets with unique game progressions. In order to do this, we utilized a mass-customization technique by creating a set of different puzzles into various locations in the park.
