Briefly describe your project
Help the mouse get some cheese!

How did you come up with your project idea?
Bill is very passionate about game design so I let him take the lead on that. He suggested doing an escape room style game where the user finds a key and discovers a key hole through exploration. That sort of evolved into finding a piece of cheese and giving it to a mouse. The wheelchair was honestly a cheat to avoid having to rig the mouse, but it did get us thinking that a game could be used to create awareness for differently abled people and the challenges they face in getting to point from point A to point B.

How did you innovate on this product? (Optional)
By utilizing the accuracy Lightship gives the user is invited to explore the environment more closely. In addition to visual cues, spatial audio is used as a gameplay element.

How does it speak to Niantic's mission? (Optional)
Exercise and Exploration (and accessibility)!

How complete is your project? (Optional)
2 puzzles have been completed.

Love the escape room idea and how pieces of the experience are scattered around the VPS wayspot. I could see creating a bigger world using the Maps API to grow a real escape room type game. Nice work! Great use of our tech as well!
