Introduction

Duration: 13 minutes + 2 minutes Buffer (15-minute game)

Get ready to have your world turned upside down. Literally. Engineerium is a walking adventure that'll leave you questioning your own reality.

How does the game progress?

Waypoints (Tiles)

When the players come across the waypoints (tiles), each player needs to stand on a waypoint to progress through the game.

Orbs

When the players see the orb, they need to crowd around it to progress to the next section. When everyone is close it will "pop" and disappear.

Game Rules

• No running or jumping
• No sitting or lying on the floor
• If heavily pregnant or have a serious medical condition, tell the Host
• This experience can be intense. If the player is overwhelmed allow them to remove their goggles and raise their hand so the Host/Runner can assist.

Player Proximity Alarm

• When too close to another player, a radar will appear on the player's screen. The "white" figure in the middle represents the player's position in the game and the other "white" figure represents another player. When this radar appears, they must step away from the other player to avoid a collision.
• A "red" warning banner "Watch Your Spacing" will appear and an alarm will sound.

Info

Depending on you Game Space size will depend on the sensitivity of this alarm. In smaller Game Spaces you may not have any proximity alarm warnings.

Wall Proximity Alarm
