In this tutorial I’ll explain how to create an electronic puzzle for an escape room. Players find various devices which all play a recorded audio message, but each device contains only a partial copy of that recording – sections of the audio are muffled, muted, distorted, or obscured – oh, no!
To recover the complete message, players need to find all the devices and press the buttons on them simultaneously to overlay all the audio fragments back together.
This is a great puzzle that’s pretty easy to build, and only requires a few cheap electronic components. And it needs no Arduino or other microprocessor! To prepare the audio data, download Audacity software from https://www.audacityteam.org/
