Next Steps

One great feature of our project is that new boxes and riddles can be easily introduced to the workflow. We could definitely be able to add more challenging riddle boxes to the game to make sure that it's harder to get the prize. Taking the project forward, we would invest in better hardware; namely, plastic sealed boxes that would not get damaged if they are kept outside or re-used by many players. The potentiometers and buttons could be replaced by more durable pieces. There could also be a sensor utilized to let us know if the box was correctly closed so that we would know if we needed to manually fix one of the riddle boxes as we set the game up for another set of players. From our control panel, we can easily see if the final box gets unlocked, but we could add a sensor to see if the prize gets taken out.

This game idea was well thought out in that it could actually be used on campus, perhaps just indoors, and with us keeping an eye on the boxes and their contents to make sure they aren't being broken by students. Taking it forward, it would truly be a great addition to our community and give students a well-deserved sense of fun.
