Everyone's Got a Library

I discussed this project with a good friend of mine and a fantastic artist, Kenny Delio.  You can see some of his ceramics and sculpture at kennydelio.com and on YouTube.

He had some great ideas about the project and said he would help me to fabricate anything that I needed for the puzzles.

He gave me some ideas on how to abstract the adventures so that they would work for any location.  The idea is that everyone's got a library...and a school, and a post office, and a hospital, bank, etc.

So the clues could be to go and check out book at the local library ( a book that would be in every library) to receive a message using words from specific, pages/paragraphs/sentences.

The parents could hide clues "under a bush" at the post office.

It's a great idea to make heavy use of the Library.  The first requirement of becoming a Junior Adventurer Society agent is that the agent get a Library card ad keep it safe as it will be a critical tool in completing their missions.

This will tie directly into the educational aspect of the Junior Adventurer Society.  The kids will learn about History and Biology and Mechanics and Science....this will be a huge selling point for parents I believe.

Kenny also had the idea of pitching it to schools and churches and other youth groups as an activity for the kids to do.  This has huge revenue potential.
