One of the new areas of activity of the masters of the OMI studio was the design of quest rooms. This summer’s large-scale work was the “Wild West” quest room, opened in Kyiv.
“Our friends approached us with a request to help open a trend that is popular today - an quest room. This is something akin to a computer game, where in order to pass a level you need to complete a task: solve riddles, codes or collect hidden things. An quest room is a thematically decorated room with a lot of traps, secrets, and charades. The player’s task is to complete all the tasks of an intellectual and entertaining game within a certain time,” said Igor Ashcheulov, art director of the OMI studio.
As the art director of the OMI studio Bogdan Kazachenko noted, the customer developed the idea, and the team of OMI craftsmen took on its implementation. A typical room with an area of 70 sq.m. Thanks to the experience, dexterity and creativity of the masters of the OMI studio, it truly became a piece of America at the end of the 19th century. The decoration involved about a cubic meter of wood, 30 liters of paint, more than 100 kg of metal, grandmother’s furniture, a typewriter and many seemingly “unnecessary” things from the craftsmen’s stash.
“Nobody has abolished the concept of “friendship.” It was a super budget project. We can say that it is made entirely from improvised materials and things bought at a flea market, as well as what was found in our workshops. We got excited about this project. Competent decoration, design, development of original mechanisms... The result was a cool quest room, stylized as the Wild West: Texas, cowboys, robbery, safes, prison...", said Bogdan Kazachenko.
