LES COQS EN PÂTE
One year with funny chickens!
Les Coqs En Pâte - Happinov produce a lot of games and applications on tablet computers. I work one year within this agency, during which I worked on a lot of projects as Game Designer and Narrative Designer.
I was lead designer on the event "Le Sceau des Héritiers". It is an escape game on tablet inside the Jean-Jacques Henner museum, Paris, which uses both paintings and the building's architecture as game elements.
In teams, players must find a malevolent specter haunting the museum, then seal it before the time runs out. To do so, the must collect energy frome the paintings to fuel the specter's prison, while completing riddles everywhere in the museum.
Inspecteur Scope was originally an event booth using tablet and a VR helmet, asking for the players to locate characters on a huge board, like a "Where's Waldo".
We took the original game to make it a 30 minutes-escape-game inside a locked room, the office of Grandpa Scope. It offered two distincts stories to players, and in each the tablet was needed to solve the riddles of the room.
The last important project I worked on was Mission Medusa. It is an adventure game in a sci-fi setting, using a lasergame labyrinth as the gaming place.
The players' teams must hack the system of a powerful corporation, and for this they have to succeed in numerous mini-games in a given time. They obtain a rank at the end for each success they had in game.
