TEA@UCF's Temple of The MIdnight Sun (TOTMS)
What was it?
This was our build project for 2024 was an escape room experience called "Temple of The Midnight Sun". As seen below it contained 5 primary rooms with additional space being our operations and tech areas. It also contained a pre-show and was about a temple that would only rise up when a celestial event that only occurs every millennia and is where our guests have been invited to discover what lies inside and find a way out!
My Contribution
For this project, I was primarily in charge of our finances and operations, but I was also involved a lot more heavily with the design decisions toward the latter half of the project, including the Facade featured below. Additionally, I created the floorplan to the right as a rough mock-up to help visualize how much space we were planning on taking up in the room we had reserved.
Main Takeaway
For me, this was the first project where I was a co-lead of an entire project, and it allowed me to start learning more about the perks and pitfalls of leading a bigger project. It was amazing being a part of this project and being able to see it go from ideation to finalization and all of the effort it takes to even launch a smaller project like this one.
