I was going through some photos last week, and came across a batch taken at Epcot for our first World Explorers game. Included were the research photos for the quest that still makes Joe and I ill to think about.
When we made our trip to write the game, we came across a lovely exhibit of tin toys in the Japan pavilion. We joked that the quest wrote itself - there was a poster showing a bunch of the toys, but one of the items on the poster was not actually on display in the exhibit. We used botanical names from the plants around the pavilion to create a word search, buried the question in the remaining letters, and we were done. It was the easiest quest we wrote for that entire event.
So you can just imagine the shock when we went back just days before the event for our final test with the crew, and discovered the exhibit had been removed just a few weeks earlier. We regrouped and wrote a replacement quest, but we've never quite gotten over it...
Thought you'd like to see some of the photos.
