PRIVATE EYE (the title will change)

1st draft of the game story

By Giedre A.

DETECTIVE’S OFFICE

CAMERA, interactive BOX with microchip, interactive

TELEPHONE, interactive

DETECTIVE’S OFFICE- Camera

Camera is always useful – it will help you to take pictures of evidence and save information about some locations (so you could go back to those places whenever you need to).

DETECTIVE’S OFFICE- Box

A mysterious box – tap on it to find out what’s inside.

DETECTIVE’S OFFICE- Telephone

Use it whenever you need to contact someone!

The game starts in the Detective’s Office. It’s the ‘first person’ game so you can put yourself in the detective’s position. Look around the room, get familiar with your office, try to tap on different things – you can collect some of them, they may become useful in the future. TELEPHONE, CAMERA and BOX are interactive objects. When you tap on them, they enlarge and the note on the screen appears telling you how can you use these objects. For ex, when you tap on telephone, it becomes bigger and you can dial the number. Or when you tap on the camera, you can go through the pictures that you have taken before – this might come in handy later when you will have to remember something whilst solving your mysteries.

You are led through the game by the VO of the detective, this is also accompanied by the notes that appear on the screen.

In this case, the VO tells you about your (as detective’s) past and what are you doing in this office (town etc.) etc etc.

Idea – to use short videos for the introductory scene



TASK

You must find an X number of the notes that are placed everywhere around your office. The message at the bottom of the screen shows your progress.

Now that you got familiar with your office, have heard the short story about yourself and completed the first task, it is time to open up the first case!

The PHONE rings, tap on it in order to answer it. • OPTION 1: You hear (on the phone) the VO of your secretary, she

informs you that there is a woman waiting in the reception. You tell the secretary to let the woman in.

• [in case we are using the short video version] – the woman comes in and sits in front of you at your table. She tells you her case. You agree to help her. She leaves.

• The picture of the woman appears on the screen. We can hear her VO and it is accompanied by the note where everything is typed on. She tells you her case and you agree to take it. She leaves.

• OPTION 2: There is a woman on the phone that has a case for you. You listen to her story and agree to help her.



•HER STORY : basically, someone has stolen 3 very expensive antique chairs from her house. They are worth £10,000 and they have enormous sentimental value. The police has searched her house for evidence already and haven’t found anything – no footprints or fingerprints, not a stain or a piece of cloth, they have registered the case but she would be glad if you could work on this. She gives you an old picture of one of the chairs.

THE PUZZLE


After you sort out the puzzle, the owner of the antique shop appears. He has finished his business and now can give you a minute. You explain him that you are looking for the 3 antique chairs that were stolen from your client’s house. You have a picture of one of them. You show it the shop owner. He indeed agrees that last week some guy brought three chairs similar to the one in the picture. However, as the that kind of things get sold really quickly, now all of the chairs are gone. He does not remember who exactly has bought them as he has many clients every day, but he can give you some information.

- One guy who bought one of the chairs has left him a Chinese takeaway leaflet ;- Another guy who got the chair has sent him an invitation ti the Royal Wedding;- Third person who bough a chair has mentioned that the chair is going to the exhibition in

Tower Bridge.

You have collected the evidence – Chinese Takeaway Leaflet and invitation to the Royal Wedding.

Mark these places on your MAP and choose any of these directions to go.

MAP of LONDON

with the evidences/items that you have collected.

CHINATOWN Scene 1 – Objects you need to find

First you decide to go to Chinatown (you recognized the name of the restaurant on the Chinese Takeaway leaflet). Your first step is to find the hidden objects !

CHINATOWN – Scene 1 after you found out all the objects

CHINATOWN – Scene 2

On your way to the Takeaway restaurant, you pass the tiny Orient Delights shop, come and have a closer look! Your task is to find the hidden objects on the shop window.


You have finally reached the Takeaway restaurant that you were looking for. Its called IKKYUSAN (the name will change). Before you can enter you must solve another puzzle!


PUZZLE

Tap on the menu: have a good look at it. All the dishes look delicious! Well, you have just decided to treat yourself with a filling lunch.

However, all you can spend today is £X amount of money.But you would like to try so many things! Try to figure out how to

order : 1 starter, 1 soup, 1 dish from Rice dishes, 1 from Vegetable dishes and 1 from Seafood dishes with the amount of money that you

have!


Now you can enter the shop. Inside you see quite a lot of people waiting for their orders and the others eating at their tables. It looks busy and you are trying to find the manager of this place. You notice a guy behind the counter who looks in charge of the restaurant. You walk towards him and start the conversation. First you compliment the chef and the manager looks obviously pleased. The you make a remark about restaurant’s interior – it is quite eclectic yet tasteful. You can’t help to notice that all the chairs are different! Haven’t they happened to have any antique chairs in here by any chance? The manager confirms that indeed he had an antique chair not that long time ago but it didn’t quite fit with the rest of the design so he sold it to the guy who owns a bar in Shoreditch. You enquire about this bar but the manger can’t really help you more as he doesn’t remember the name of that place except that it had to do something with ‘Swan’ or ‘Swine’. You thank the manager for the information and make your way out.

New location added to your MAP – Shoreditch. You must find the bar and you hope that the chair will still be there!

St Paul’s Cathedral

You have spent almost half a day in the museum and haven’t seen anything that would look like the chair you are looking for. The staff was not able to help you as no one has seen the chair. Oh, here comes the manager, lets try to talk to him!

The manager has indeed received an antique chair not that long time ago, however, his brother is a priest and he has asked to borrow it for some time. His brother is based in a small church close to central London. You should go there to try your luck!

Tower Bridge

Here you are finally – the Tower Bridge. But where one could have put the chair? It pops to your mind that probably it is Tower of London where the chair was brought to. You decide to have a look.

Tower of London

Tower of London is known as the most secured place in the world. You are skeptical about that, well, try to challenge some of their security systems!

London Tower

While you are making a tour around London Tower, the staff member tells you that some of the crown jewels are missing! You have to find them! In addition, the antique chair that you are looking for was stolen as well.

But first, try to find the missing gems!

Bricklane

Once you reach a market it looks like it has been closed! No street sellers on the lane, only a few shops opened. Fortunately, you notice a man packing up his stuff and ask him what happened to the market. He explains that the market closed earlier today due to police raid. When asked about the chair he says that he can certainly help you because, accidentally he was the one who helped a middle aged guy to carry an antique chair to another location. You let the man finish packing and follow him towards the direction of the chair.

Boathouse

The guy says that this is the house where to he has helped to carry an antique chair. He didn’t go inside, but sure you will! Hurry up, no time wasting!

Boathouse

Looks like an abandoned car. You wonder whether its working, lets have a look at the engine.

You were right – there is some kind of a problem with an engine. Well, you will have to sort it out before entering the house! Maybe the guy will let you have the chair of he knows that you have fixed his car!

Time to enter the house, wait.. the door is locked. You have to remember your lock picking skills!
