They say ‘you are what you eat’ – and that’s probably true, unless you’re Roofus – a friendly little zombie who lost his own brain!
We’re excited to share a special sneak peek at brand new, family friendly game concept from our design team at Chris + Creative – “The Zombie and the Witch Doctor!” Expanding on the wild success of Professor Bleehall’s Odditorium Emporium & Pie Shoppe, we set out imagine an entirely new experience that embraces the puppet-based character interactions our guests love, with the replayability and expandability our clients love! Just like OddPie, expansion packs will continue to be added to The Zombie and the Witch Doctor’s storyworld universe, allowing the game to remain constantly fresh and new, even for repeat visitors – but unlike OddPie, this one is not a score based attraction. The Zombie and The Witch Doctor aims to bridge the gap of two worlds by being more of a hybrid of our genre-redefining Create Your Own Adventure Game concept found in OddPie, with that of a more traditional escape game adventure.
The first of their kind elements don’t stop there, though. Let’s talk puppets! The Zombie and the Witch Doctor features the debut of Chris +’s brand new custom Interactive Escape Game Puppets product line.
It seems like a simple enough task; just help Roofus remember the one thing that The Witch Doctor asked him to do; problem is, nothing comes easy when you’ve lost your brain. Luckily (?) the disembodied spirits of several equally outlandish characters are bound to the earthly realm around the Witch Doctor’s shop – and they’re all pretty helpful. Well, that is, as long as you do one small thing for them first. (Naturally, that one small thing from each of them turns into its own multi-puzzle game flow that must be completed to get things back on track for Roofus.)
But all the effort is worthwhile, because eventually, it lead’s Roofus back to his brain, or is it his brain back to Roofs? I really don’t know zombie anatomy. What I do know, however, is that getting his brain back will restore the memory of that one simple thing the Witch Doctor asked of him, and…
Why does nothing ever seem to go smoothly in an escape game?
The Zombie and the Witch Doctor is, perhaps, Chris +’s most unique attraction concept since our beloved OddPie. It’s another game that truly aims to reinvent the genre, and take every preconceived notion of what a zombie attraction might be and turns it upside down. It’s family friendly, funny, thoughtful and most importantly, replayable. (We’ll let you in on a little secret – a little birdie told us there may be a whole series of themed and uniquely story-driven expansion packs already in development for this game that will expand Roofus’ adventures far beyond just the earthly walls of the Witch Doctor’s shop. Of course the birdie was laying upside down on the sidewalk, so take it for what you will, but, come on, what did you expect? It’s a zombie game, after all!)
