Bomb Puzzle 2015

Arduino

A puzzle requiring players to find ways to diffuse a ticking time bomb hidden within a jewelry case.

Players must figure out how to unlock the jewelry case, rewire the bomb in a specific way, as well as uncover a secret pin number so that they can input the key to finally defuse the bomb before their time runs out.

The piece included a jewelry case bomb, a handheld keypad, a makeup compact and other accessories, as well as custom designed booklets advertising fake makeup companies which conceal clues towards defusing the bomb. In total 5 bomb props were created.
