Surviving Poppy Playtime In Real Life!

Wicked Makers built a fully immersive Poppy Playtime escape room around their previously constructed life-sized DogDay animatronic, constructing a detailed jail cell set complete with puzzles, traps, and interactive surprises. Friends Evan and Katelyn were invited to test the experience against a 20-minute countdown. The build combines 3D printing, foam fabrication, servo mechanics, and pneumatic elements to bring the video game environment to life. It serves as an inspiring example of giving a large animatronic build a purposeful, repeatable interactive context.

FrightProps Weight Sensing Escape Room Prop

FrightProps demonstrates a weight-sensing escape room puzzle prop that challenges players to place a precise amount of weight on a sensor platform in order to trigger a magnetic lock release. The build is designed as a ready-to-integrate puzzle element for escape room environments. Decorative sculptures by Josh Hardie are featured alongside the mechanism, illustrating how the prop can be themed for atmosphere.
