The Hideout Text Adventure

The Hideout Text Adventure (actual title: The Hideout Theatre Adventures: Quest for the Secret Skull) is a text-adventure game that takes place in the Hideout Theatre.

History

The game originated in a facebook discussion[1] about setting up a possible text-adventure-themed show at the Hideout, to go along with Pick Your Own Path. Brad Hawkins jokingly wrote out a walk-through of a (nonexistent) text-adventure game set at the Hideout, and Peter Rogers ran with the idea, quickly coding up more and more complicated iterations of a Hideout-themed game in Inform 7. Eventually, Peter met with Kevin Miller and Marc Majcher to plan out the rest of the game, and quickly finished the coding himself.
