live action escape game

[nanocon]

i was thinking that with say a leased floor in a building and special effects to make the puzzles interesting and actually look good it might be interesting. with hidden web cams in the course the whole thing could be broad cast across the net with people being able to watch and possibly bet on there fave competitor (assuming a gambling license can be acquired) with the option to bid on giving a hint to them.

nothing major like telling them an answer to a puzzle more like subtle and cryptic like say a noise that leads them to a hint or clue that would otherwise be difficult/impossible to find or something else along those lines. hints and betting needing a payed membership to pay for the site maintenance props and other misalliance expenses but watching being free.

the competitors would take up specific characters to play as and be playing for a sum of money if the gambling thing works out bidders will win a portion of the losing bets the other portion going to the winning player (again if a gambling license can be procured).

a set of augmented reality glasses could be used to give players info that there character would have such as there situation and an explanation of curtain puzzles that need to be done but not all of the puzzles just to keep it cryptic and only like bare bones just like to get started. as well if there character would know curtain things about the puzzle the player wouldn't this would be displayed to. this would also enable live first person perspective for watchers as many interfaces of this type support such functions.

it could be done like a series not like a game show but done so that it feels more like your watching a series about an escaping person with multiple ways the players can leave effecting the story line to a degree (but all ways hard and involving problem solving on the players part).

i think it sounds like an interesting idea to pursue hard but i think its a worthwhile project what do you guys think
