The Challenge Rooms_Next Class

For next class I want to play with the idea of putting participants in challenges against each other.

I want to create three rooms of fabric or obstructions that are small and confining and place an artifact in each one. A can in one. Barbed wire in another. And a shoe perhaps in the third. Setting two-three people in each room, I want to write simple directions for them to accomplish, and give each person secret instructions. They have 3 minutes to complete a task that means one of them will be left behind, alone, to confront The Company. Everyone is a worker, deciding whether or not to strike and the company is on the move.

Meanwhile, to signal the time passage, the sounds of discordant music gets louder and louder, mixing with the sounds of fire and of gunshots. Until everything goes silent and dark. Anyone who has not escaped has been captured.
