"Bomb Disarming Puzzle in a Suitcase" Game

I created an "escape room-esque" game that is contained within a small suitcase. In total, there are about 15-20 puzzles and sub-puzzles that need to be solved in order to disarm the "explosives". Players are given 60 minutes to arrange puzzles, decipher clues hidden in QR codes, connect cities in maps to form numbers, decode morse signals, and other similar things.
This video shows the sequence needed to solve the puzzle (along with some purposeful wrong entries) to show how the different components work. During an actual play-through, the player would need to reference and solve documents that are stored in the briefcase's lid.
Additional pictures and build information can be found here: imgur.com/a/8n...
Thanks for watching!

Really nice build! Now, can we have a video of you boarding the plane with this thingy?

[@paulwilliams6719]

This is amazing! This looks perfect for my next project. As others have indicated, a little more detail about the build and the puzzles would be very helpful. Don't expect you to give them away for free--I'd be willing to pay for your time and effort on this!

[@dougheritage7035]

Awesome! Love to build one. Found the Arduino code but do you provide the circuit or wiring diagrams anywhere, please?

[@stijnlaurent2104]

hi, like your work very much, are you willing to share the game play and puzzles and documents. thanks hope to here from you. it would be nice to work on this project in corona times ;)

[@NiuhiNui]

Looks neat. Would like to see a complete walkthrough.

[@jasonr2590]

That could be arranged! I'll update if I make one.

[@lotrax]

@@jasonr2590 really dope, this looks awesome! Does it use randomizers as well? I mean, multiple puzzles seem to have multiple possible solutions. Also, what's the power source?

[@totalxscape7323]

Please. What style of drums are used here?

[@exxuhater]

Is there any chance you would share some more details or maybe code would love to make this as a Christmas gift for a friend. don't think it is possible to make it before Christmas but then again Christmas happens ones a year. :)

[@Fuckyoubastard]

I'm interested too. This is a really great job!

[@jasonr2590]

Take a look here for the code, the layout will depend on your case and components used: pastebin.com/8pVWh6QK

will these be for sale?

[@TheSuperJohnDoe]

I've planned to create something similar to this and I just stumbled across your project. This is really nice, kudos!

[@jasonr2590]

Thanks! Good luck with your project and I hope to see a video of it someday!

[@dmtien]

Awesome build! From the looks of the layout and code it looks as though the switch passcode is hardwired. Do you think having a randomized or even a multi-scenario bomb would exceed the limits of the Arduino GPIO pins?

[@jasonr2590]

Most of the switches on the left side of the board are hard wired, so they're unable to be changed. I could add a multi plexer to reduce the number of pins needed on the Mega and wire most of the connections, but this was planned as a one-off. In the future, I might try and be more flexible and plan for additional scenarios. Thanks for checking it out!

[@tastybrains]

fantastic job! this looks like a lot of fun. You can't beat physical switches/dials/buttons when it comes to that satisfying 'click'. how did you print or manufacture the attachment surface? some of those switches take a bit of force to move, keypads can be abused, and it looks pretty solid

[@jasonr2590]

Thanks! The surface is 1/8" birch plywood that was fit together and then glued in place. There were a couple of test fittings, as seen in the photo album. The wood was painted in a metallic silver paint, masked to prevent burn marks, engraved, then cut.

[@LazarusXero]

Any chance in sharing the code on GitHub or the like? Amazing job!

It was custom made, sorry!

[@louisestaciechester4544]

If you don't mind saying...What size patch cable and power sockets did you use for this puzzle?

[@jasonr2590]

The patch cables are 1/4", but I'm not certain what you mean by the power sockets. The whole thing runs off of a 5V power bank. Hope that helps!

[@louisestaciechester4544]

@@jasonr2590 I was asking what size were the sockets that you put the 1/4" patch cables into.

This is so cool. Great Job!!!

[@chicocasaroes]

Those P10 connectors, they are wired to anything electric? Is is safe to operate?

[@jasonr2590]

I'm not sure which connectors you're referring to. Yes, it's safe to operate. There are no actual explosives involved.

[@SkateTroe]

Well, I found a new project to try out! Don't know if it'll look this good, but damn if it isn't inspiring to look at!

[@jasonr2590]

Thanks! Please send a note when it's done, would love to see it!

[@НазарЛапатшо]

Jesus it's genious

[@ShotgunEmmet]

Sweet, that's bigger than any puzzles I've made so far. Did you make those audio jacks, where did you get the coloured ends?

[@jasonr2590]

Thanks! You can find the audio jacks on Amazon by searching for "ZXHAO 6.35mm/0.25 inch Long Mono Input Jack Socket for Electric Guitar Bass 20pcs" and the patch cables were here: (smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B003YJMWV4/), but they don't look like they're available at the moment. Hope that helps!

[@ShotgunEmmet]

@@jasonr2590 Cheers, I can't wait to see what you come up with next.

[@loisp3226]

Nice job ! How do you match the correct P10 connector with the triangle clues ?

[@jasonr2590]

The triangle clues are based on a geologic Ternary Diagram where you make three lines meet, but it has proved to be a little too difficult and I need to change that puzzle moving forward.

[@loisp3226]

@@jasonr2590 Thanks for the awnser. I see the litle bit outside the triangle say which line to follow it's clever. If you have a screen where we can manage to see how they would find how they pick a row it would be nice. Great jobs again anyway.

[@RetArm]

I need this! Please tell me where I can buy one. . PLEASE

[@jasonr2590]

There's only one of these at the moment, but there are some fun "escape room" board games that are out there. Nothing this intricate, but it might hold you over for a while!

is this up for sale?

Sorry, no. It was a one-off done for fun, but it probably would have done really well over the last 5 months!

Do you sell this?

This was done as a one-off project for fun, so it's not a commercial product, yet... ;)
