Community Partners
Our community partners are Rich and Karen... They work at escapes on the run, their family owns the business and works on it all together. Escapes on the run is a company mainly designed to go to companies and help them work on team work and team building skills. After the teams go the trailer They will talk about the challenges that they faced and how they can overcome them.
Challenge
Our challenge was too create a new demographic and advertise for people who were wanting to use this resource as a building skill. Another item we were working on with them was their table top games. Because their business is outdoors, they needed another option for the winter seasons. We came up with a puzzle that contains a series of riddles and knots to try and break into a box instead of breaking out of a room. We're hoping that this will have the same effect on companies.

Timeline
Our First Meeting: Our partners came to the school to meet us for the first time, we realized that we had picked a good one and realized how chill and laid back our group was
Second Meeting: For our second meeting we went to check out their "office" and got to experience the run through ourselves
Third Meeting: This was more of a hands on meeting, they came with their trailer and let the rest of the kids in our innovations class try and escape from their game. It was fun for us all and we got a lot of good feedback
Fourth and Final Meeting: Ended up exactly where we started. Our final meeting was at school in the fishbowl room, we wrapped up our final ideas on marketing and social media and said goodbye.

Contribution
I feel that as a group we all worked very well together. I would say that Kate and I most contributed towards ideas and communicating with my partners where as Tom our other member communicated more with our partners themselves and set up most of the meetings. But as a group i feel that we were all interested and involved which made it a very fun environment to work in.
Takeaways
Walking away from this project I learned that it is usually harder to get stuff done in groups that are too big and that you need to think
