Crimlins Foible

An interactive game for an immersive festival

Crimlins Foible is a live action game that will take place at Neotropolis, a week long fully immersive sci-fi/cyberpunk festival in the Mojave desert. Players who accept the quest will be tasked with hacking into three custom built computer terminals that will be installed in various places around the festival. It will play something like an interactive fiction where players will need to investigate, find clues, and solve puzzles.

The Story

The quest revolves around a maintenance technician named Crimlin Foeter and how bad he is at remembering his passwords. My character at the festival is a low level information broker that will hire players for the job. They will need to hack into three “municipal terminals” around the city and change the configuration so that my character can monitor the network and get some higher quality intel.

Each terminal requires two passwords, one to access the terminal and one to access the configuration settings. Crimlin services 3 different terminals in the mega-block and has to remember 6 different access codes. While he is forgetful when it comes to access codes, he is brilliant when it comes to creating systems to remember the codes. Players will use the information they find on the terminals and various websites made for the quest to uncover his systems and work out the passwords. Each terminal will have clues that lead them to the next.
