RUBE’S COUNDRUM

COMING SOON!!! Players will be tasked in making a complex, multifaceted, moving machine using brain-power, rustic, incomplete blueprints, and a few disjointed, unrelated items from within the room. Sounds easy, you say? Perhaps we haven’t told you the whole story yet.

First you should know that the machine itself will be over-the-top and wildly nonsensical in the spirit of famed cartoonist, Rube Goldberg. He was widely known for his drawings depicting delightfully over-complicated and convoluted machines designed to do simple tasks like using napkin, catching a mouse, etc. What? You have never heard of him, maybe you should look him up. In the very least, it’ll be good to become acquainted with the sort of absurdity that is about to follow.

Secondly, you should be aware that the items necessary to build this machine will need to be acquired during the course of the game. They aren’t going to be just lying about higgledy-piggledy like a pile of oversized pick-up sticks, NO! Players will have to earn them by solving a series of physical and mental challenges, each requiring concentration, cooperation, and observation.

Thirdly, as always, the event will be timed. Only the very best will succeed. All will have fun trying.
