On the team, I was mainly the project manager while also working on the puzzle design of the game. In the project, you play as a detective trying to solve the case of a famous thief who back in town. For the project, we were told that we needed to have a physical component for the game, so in order to play into the theme we came up with a form of cipher called "Mouse Code". After that was created, I went about creating puzzles on how to use it and new mechanics we could go off of. 

I tried to find an approach that could be built upon going forward, for the group came up with a mechanic called "The cheese of truth," which, when activated, reveals secret messages hidden in images. The mechanics were a group effort, but further developed by myself. We have 3 puzzles in the game and I spent time thinking how it could be applied to each in an interesting way the player wouldn't expect from the last, but in a way that could be deciphered by completing the puzzle. I think this project shows a good progression in mechanics, from the introduction of the cheese, the discovery of further depth of that mechanic and then putting all the pieces from it togehter at the end.
