EXCO 801 SP - Puzzles & Immersive Narratives 2 credits Do you like solving perplexing puzzles? Do you like participating in immersive experiences? Want to know what makes them tick? In this class, we’ll study escape rooms, ARGs, puzzle hunts, and immersive theater. We’ll spend the first half of the semester reading and discussing design strategies for puzzles and immersive media, as well as creating and workshopping small original pieces. In the second half of the semester, you’ll get a chance to plan, create, and revise an immersive experience of your own. We’ll learn about the first ARGs, solve puzzles together, and crack some secret codes! No prior experience is necessary. This course will be taught in person. There is no course fee, but students are responsible for purchasing the supplies their group selects for their final projects.
