PUZZLE THEME: n/a

PLOT POINT TO CONVEY: In character: a corporate web site that introduces players to the look and feel of Doctor When's high tech startup as well as invites worthy scientists, investors, members of the press, etc. to see his mysterious invention. Out of character: Introduces players to the game and its tongue-in-cheek tone, builds excitement, and sets expectations that the game will be more theatrical and less competitive than many games; also introduces the creators of the game (us!) in the lab's "staff" section.

Part 1

Introductory Lecture 1

NICKNAME: Introductory Lecture 1

POSITION IN GAME FLOW: Part 1, Activity 1

LOCATION: Doctor When's laboratory

PLOT SETUP: Players have all come to see the unveiling of Doctor When's life's achievement

PROPS: PowerPoint presentation, projector, screen, PA system, time machine with sound/light/smoke special effects.

PUZZLE THEME: n/a

PLOT POINT TO CONVEY: The Doctor's creation is a time machine. Tongue-in-cheek tone of game through homologous survey of others' failed time travel efforts (lots of references to time travel in pop culture). Doctor When has been working on this problem since high school and is about to demonstrate. The Doctor's high school friend, Prof. Catherine Chronus, has flown in to assist. Two of the key components of the time machine are the "tachyon aether pep ring" and the "quantum chronomentometer," which the Professor and the Doctor were specialists in respectively. Doctor admonishes audience to "Never use time travel for petty personal gain." Dr. When is carrying an overly-conspicuous and highly recognizable envelope but makes no overt reference to it. When he enters the time machine and activates it, the machine goes haywire.

Jiffy Pop Solve In Part 1

NICKNAME: Jiffy Pop Solve In Part 1

POSITION IN GAME FLOW: Part 1, Activity 2

LOCATION: Doctor When's laboratory

PLOT SETUP: Machine has gone haywire. Instead of Doctor When returning, a bunch of gadgets returned. Each one is labeled with the name of a team.

PROPS: One physical puzzle (gadget?) for each team

PUZZLE THEME: ?

PLOT POINT TO CONVEY: Doctor When is bouncing around in time and needs help to fix the machine/rescue him. Check the machine's "core dump" to figure out what's wrong.

SOLUTION: DRLOSTINTIMECHECKCOREDUMP (or something similar).

BUDGET: ?

CREDITS: ?

MANAGER: ?

HINTS: ?

TO DO: ?

NOTES: The prop will be reused in at least one other puzzle, and needs to be able to be "created" (ideally with the creation process being a puzzle itself) by the teams later in the game.

Core Dump

NICKNAME: Core Dump

POSITION IN GAME FLOW: Part 1, Activity 3

LOCATION: Doctor When's laboratory

PLOT SETUP: Machine is malfunctioning, but no one knows why. The mysterious message inside the Jiffy Pop puzzle directed to "CHECKCOREDUMP". When the players show the message to Prof. Chronus, she knows that the time machine can do a core dump for diagnostic purposes. Unfortunately, when she checks it it has been corrupted (turned into a puzzle!) by the very same malfunction. So she needs the players to decode the core dump so she knows what to fix.

PROPS: ?

PUZZLE THEME: Something that looks like a stream of data (error log?) from the time machine. Or...we might set up a gag that the time machine runs on pineapples and they have to examine pineapple cores. (Or maybe some other "core" homonym pun.)

PLOT POINT TO CONVEY:

SOLUTION: "POOPED PEP RINGS", or some similar pseudo-tech phrase that includes a subtle Pepsi reference.

BUDGET: ?

CREDITS: ?

MANAGER: ?

HINTS: ?

TO DO: ?

NOTES: Need at least one "help debug/fix the machine" puzzle/activity, but could have many more...and not all teams need to do all activities. Spongebob, Pineapple juice? This puzzle justifies getting the teams out of the building. (Erik's opinion: should be only one "core dump" puzzle. Optional puzzles fit better in Pep Ring sequence and Retrieve Letter sequence.)

Pep Ring A

NICKNAME: Pep Ring A

POSITION IN GAME FLOW: Part 1, Activity 4

LOCATION: Teams will probably have to leave the lab to find pep ring components or old pep rings. Geeky places like the Computer History Museum, Exploratorium, or the clock-fixing shop in SF seem like appropriate locations. Note that those repaired/replaced rings have to get back to the time machine somehow. So plot continuity may require the teams to return to the lab to hand over the rings. Or maybe the teams could hand off their handiwork to designated couriers (GC in disguise). Or maybe they only need to send information back to Prof. Chronus. Or maybe there's some sort of remote scanner/duplicater out in the field. (Erik's opinion: better to not have them return to lab; handing to "courier" (GC) sounds best.)

PLOT SETUP: The solution to the previous puzzle, "POOPED PEP RING", tells Prof. Chronus to examine the machine's tachyon aether pep rings, which turn out to be defective. ("Wesley never was any good at pep rings...luckily I did my dissertation on them!") She needs 20 replacements...and luckily there are 20 teams! (Or maybe she needs 100 replacements and all the teams need to work together to collectively get that many done, though some teams may be faster than others.)

PROPS: The physical ring puzzles.

PUZZLE THEME: ?

PLOT POINT TO CONVEY: The machine is partially fixed after rings are installed.

SOLUTION: May simply be the correctle assembled device, images of the correct configurations, or something similar.

BUDGET: ?

CREDITS: ?

MANAGER: ?

HINTS: ?

TO DO: ?

NOTES: Though the "there are 100 configurations and we need all of them" has the benefit of teams feeling like they're collaborating, this is actually a place where we may need to _spread_ the teams (since we've got them going to outside locations. In particular, if the next location is Dr. When's childhood bedroom, having all 20 teams go there at once is logistically bad. Perhaps there should be a "spreading" puzzle in between Pep Ring A and Pep Ring B.

Password Puzzle (Doctor When)

NICKNAME: Password Puzzle (Doctor When)

POSITION IN GAME FLOW: Part 1, Activity 5

LOCATION: Probably outside the lab, perhaps in the "home where Doctor When grew up" (room in some GC member's house, appropriately set-dressed).

PLOT SETUP: Prof. Chronus needs access to the Doctor's super secure Brain-O-Matic 2000 supercomputer, which contains key data needed to finish installing the pep ring. But she doesn't have the password. Over their years of friendship he's hinted that he always uses the same password and stored it for himself in puzzle format in case he forgot it himself.

PROPS: Childhood memoribilia for set dressing and foreshadowing.

PUZZLE THEME: Ideally something with an 80's reference (since he's been using the same password since the 80's). Perhaps a Rubik's Cube?

PLOT POINT TO CONVEY: While rumaging through the Doctor's childhood memoribilia, the players will see references to the childhood friendship with the Prof., maybe a picture or school newspaper article about how the Doctor was slimed during the science fair ("Wesley When Makes Splash"), etc. The solution will also foreshadow the Doctor's lifelong love for Buffy.

SOLUTION: Password = "BUFFYROCKS"

Calibration

NICKNAME: Calibration/Forrest Gump

POSITION IN GAME FLOW: Part 1, Activity m

LOCATION: Over the Internet (we'll store the video on Youtube or somesuch). Likely out of the lab.

PLOT SETUP: Prof. Chronus nearly has the machine working properly with the new pep rings, the password, etc. But it still needs to be "calibrated." The remote viewscreen of the machine (accessible over the Internet! Let's think of a funnier name for it.) lets her show the players the different times and places the Doctor has bounced to.

PROPS: Make a movie that consists of clips of other movies (Ben Hur, Land That Time Forgot, Zardoz...you get the idea) and then use blue screen to superimpose Doctor When. The funnier the situation the better. In some he could be running for his life and others he could be the King of Siam.

PUZZLE THEME: Prof. tells the players that if they could just predict the next place he's going to bounce to she'll be able to calibrate the machine and make it fully functional.

Send Me Back

NICKNAME: Send Me Back

POSITION IN GAME FLOW: Part 1, Activity m

LOCATION: Probably out of the lab.

PLOT SETUP: With the players' help, Prof. Chronus has repaired and re-calibrated the time machine. But Doctor When is still stuck at the very beginning of time. Prof. Chronus will focus the remote viewfinder on Doctor When. But all they see is a dark screen. "Hello? Is anyone there? It's totally dark here. Oops...I think I knocked something over. Hold it...there's some light now.... Whoa. It's getting bigger. Fast. You better get me out of here. Now! Send me to these time and space coordinates: garble." Unfortunately because of the intensity of the Big Bang or the long time gap, the message is garbled.

PROPS: Short movie of Doctor When running away from the Big Bang that he just caused..

PUZZLE THEME: Maybe teams have to guess the next place where he's going to be?

PROPS: Video of time stream 1 of "the science fair incident"

PUZZLE THEME: ?

PLOT POINT TO CONVEY: Doctor When’s real goal was to fix his childhood trauma: he had a crush on Buffy the cheerleader and thought he could win her heart with his science fair project. But some sort of interaction with Prof. Chronus's project made his contraption go awry and the cheerleader laughed at him instead of falling in love.

Puzzle suggestion (from ES): I like the "I need my locker combo!" puzzle, and the motivation could be that a geeky Dr. When actually created some sort of puzzle back in his high school daya that would remind him of his locker combo (he was absent-minded, even then!) but not let someone else easily figure it out. Since he created it as a geek in the 80's, this seems like an opportunity for a puzzle-y 80's reference - like, say, some sort of Rubik's Cube assembling puzzle, with the answer being a locker combo. (Oh, and if we can have actual locks that open "lockers" with those combos, that would be ideal.)

PLOT SETUP: Players think they've returned to the Doctor When's laboratory to see him rematerialize

PROPS: PowerPoint presentation, projector, screen, PA system, time machine with sound/light/smoke special effects.

PUZZLE THEME: n/a

PLOT POINT TO CONVEY: The time stream has been altered. Prof. Chronus's high school friend, Doctor When has flown in to assist. Two of the key components of the time machine are the "tachyon aether pep ring" and the "quantum chronomentometer." Prof. Chronus admonishes audience to "Never use time travel for petty personal gain." Players see that she's secretly carrying a pair of bolt cutters. Machine goes haywire. Prof. Chronus is bouncing around the timeline and needs help to return.

Note that Doctor When't wife, Buffy, traveled with him to the demo. She must be a shrew. Maybe have a reference to Chronus's sliming (if we can't show it elsewhere).

PLOT SETUP: Prof. Chronus is bouncing around the timeline and needs help to return. Machine is malfunctioning, but no one knows why.

PROPS: ?

PUZZLE THEME: Like in Part 1, some sort of data stream (error log?) seems appropriate here. Of course, we want to avoid the actual _puzzle_ being similar to the one in Act I...

PLOT POINT TO CONVEY: Prof. Chronus is leaving subtle notes in the historical record to help. The problem with the machine is that the "quantum chronomentometer" is all screwed up. Luckily Doctor When is an expert in such matters.

SOLUTION: ... should be the phrase "quantum chronomentometer" or some similar pseudo-tech phrase including a subtle Mentos reference.

PROPS: Expanded video of time stream 2 of "the science fair incident" showing how the previous fix caused a trauma for Prof. Chronus.

PUZZLE THEME: It might be cool if the puzzle was based on the timing of the songs or the release dates...something time-related

PLOT POINT TO CONVEY: Prof. Chronus’s real goal was to fix her childhood trauma: she had a crush on Doctor When and thought she could win his heart with her science fair project. But the fix from Part 1 caused it all to go awry.

Puzzle suggestion (from ES): as with Act I, perhaps Prof. Chronus needs some information from her past, and this seems like a place where a geeky 80's reference could go over well. If Dr. When was a Rubik's Cube to encode his locker combo, Prof. Chronus is... a secret message included in her diary? An audio clue contained in a mix tape she made for Dr. When (never delivered)? What would be a geeky, gender-stereotyping, puzzle-accomodating thing that a 80's girl would use? The solution could be another locker combo, but that's boring. Maybe the solution is the name of a popular 80's book (Melissa suggests "How to be a Valley Girl" that she used as a one-time pad to decode her diary, which then reveals her whole science fair plan?
