COLOR BLIND

Imagine if your next hamburger looked like this.

Would you eat it?

In building our next escape room, NOIR, wherein the entire room is to be in grayscale (like walking into an old black and white movie), we’re learning a lot about the nuances of color. Even in most things that are gray there will be some amount of blue or brown, but in the context of a fully colored world, the item looks gray enough to pass as colorless.

But what about a room where everything truly is in grayscale? The slightest color becomes much more obvious. So, we have to be extra diligent in guarding against even the tiniest bit of color making its way into this amazing new escape room murder mystery.

Will NOIR effectively show every color-sighted person what it would feel like to be color blind?

Sort of.

There are actually four different types of color blindness: red-deficiency color blindness wherein less red is seen, green-deficiency, blue-deficiency, and the most rare is Achromatopsia, or actual complete color blindness.

While a completely colorless escape room can be loads of fun, we wouldn’t recommend it as a restaurant concept.

And, so as to not leave a bad taste in your mouth, here’s that same burger but in color.
