[1:07]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy says his biggest motivation for networking and connecting with people is having an insatiable curiosity about projects that interest him, and an intense desire to see talented people succeed. [4:02]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>David comments that networking is socializing with purpose. [5:10]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peih-Gee mentions that Tommy\u2019s strong suit is following through when he reaches out to connect with people in the industry. [5:27]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy tells us about how Marty Parker, one of the first escape room designers and creator of <em><a href=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/2014\/12\/16\/room-escape-adventures-trapped-in-a-room-with-a-zombie-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trapped in a Room with a Zombie<\/a><\/em>, was one of his first mentors in the immersive space. [6:27]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy talks about his experience working for the corporate machinery at Disney and how disillusioned he was afterwards. [7:41]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Peih-Gee comments that that\u2019s probably why escape rooms are such a cottage industry made up of creative minds who shied away from corporate life. [14:06]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy and David talk about feeling trapped in a job and offer their advice for others in this situation. [15:13]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy talks about how the illegal underground restaurant <a href=\"https:\/\/starrykitchen.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Starry Kitchen<\/a> was one of his inspirations for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.stashhou.se\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Stash House<\/em><\/a>, his award winning escape room in Los Angeles. [18:36]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy walks us through the narrative arc of <em>Stash House<\/em>. [20:05]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy talks about why he deliberately chose to not have a lobby because he wanted the theatrical part of the experience to start as soon as possible. [21:45]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cThe magic circle is practically invisible and people don&#8217;t know when they&#8217;re stepping into our world.\u201d [22:58]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy talks about how he designs his experience based on \u201cadrenaline mapping,\u201d managing the excitement levels of his guests from the moment they find his game, through when they book it, arrive, and even when they leave. [24:41]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy talks about working with a controversial theme for his escape room, and how some of the influences for <em>Stash House<\/em> include the TV shows <em>Breaking Bad<\/em> and <em>The Wire<\/em>, as well as the video game <em>Grand Theft Auto<\/em>. [27:46]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy talks about how he wanted to tell a story that was uniquely set in Los Angeles. [30:15]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy discusses establishing stakes in an experience, and how he prefers smaller, personal stakes rather than larger grand stakes like \u201cthe world is ending.\u201d [32:32]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy talks about designing the right experience for the right medium, including identifying the constraints and the right toolkit to use within each constraint. [38:25]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy tells us about creating a business card with a small ARG puzzle hidden on it that got solvers added to the beta test list for <em>Stash House<\/em>. [42:29]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy describes his iterative testing process and gives us an example of how he designs based on observing how people move around within the gamespace. [44:24]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy talks about why he considers observational data more useful than verbal feedback. [47:00]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy gives an example of receiving negative feedback on a certain puzzle, and how he changed the puzzle by observing player interactions. The puzzle eventually went from a most disliked puzzle to a favorite puzzle. [49:31]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>David mentions that when he tests his designs, he likes to record facial expressions and collect data on emotions experienced. [51:14]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy and David talk about the importance of continuing to observe and make changes after opening an experience to paying customers. [52:23]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy talks about his experience with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jebhavensgames.com\/escape-jam.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">escape jams<\/a>, an event where a group designs an experience together in one day. [55:37]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>David talks about how some of his favorite moments from virtual escape jams are watching people go from panic to elation after going through the entire creative and testing process. [1:00:00]<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tommy talks about the importance of giving back to the community through leadership in organizations like <a href=\"https:\/\/roomescapeartist.com\/2021\/08\/08\/escape-room-svog-eligibility-guide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ERGO<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/leia.design\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">LEIA<\/a> that advocate for the escape room and immersive industries.
