(This is a remastered version of my previous video, which somehow got borked into only having a single mono channel of low-quality compressed audio. Sorry about that :( Apparently there is no way to fix the audio track of a published video on YouTube, so I've just had to re-upload it here. Hopefully this has fixed it!)
A clock may seem like a mundane household item, but they're dynamic, interesting and aesthetically-beautiful, and absolutely rich with possibilities for exciting interactions, escape room puzzles, and theatrical effects.
This video demonstrates how to make a variety of innovative and unusual ways to interact with clocks; some complex, some very simple, which make great ideas for use in an escape room, a DIY treasure hunt, classroom exercise, or birthday party activity, or adventure game.
