John Park's Mystery Box: Crypto Countdown Case
from Adafruit Industries · host Adafruit Industries
Build your own Cold War-era countdown timer prop with John Park's Mystery Box: Crypto Countdown Case learning guide. This mystery box is a Soviet themed launch-code box complete with missile switch covered toggles, a Feather microcontroller with red 14-segment display, and stress-inducing piezo buzzer. Use it for an escape room, prop, or wedding proposal. Your players, or potential spouse-to-be, will need to enter the correct five-switch sequence to defuse the device before all is lost. (Note: this project is a harmless prop, not an actual bomb.) Customize it with your own secret message. ----------------------------------------- https://learn.adafruit.com/mystery-box-crypto-countdown-case/overview Visit the Adafruit shop online - http://www.adafruit.com Subscribe to Adafruit on YouTube: http://adafru.it/subscribe Join our weekly Show & Tell on G+ Hangouts On Air: http://adafru.it/showtell Watch our latest project videos: http://adafru.it/latest New tutorials on the Adafruit Learning System: http://learn.adafruit.com/ Music by Noé Ruiz -----------------------------------------
