One address for the campaign
This page is the address to hand out now. It does not change when the campaign opens: the same link that explains the room today takes visitors to the project the day it goes live.
Dallas, Texas·Campaign: not yet live·Launch date: to be announced
Item 01 · Three sentences
What you would be backing
The room
Sixty minutes on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository, in Dallas, Texas. The puzzles only work if the history is right, so the room is built from named documents rather than from atmosphere.
The ask
An $85,000 goal, published line by line: set and period dressing, artefact licensing and reproduction, puzzle engineering and three playtest cycles, accessibility and safety. The reward sheet is finalised for launch.
The pledge
Nothing in the room is invented to make a lock easier. No theory presented as fact, no gore, no scare actors, no claim that cannot be traced to a document on the sourcing list.
Item 02 · Hand it on
Promote it before you spend anything
Small campaigns are decided in the opening days, and the people who move them are usually the ones who told a friend first. The link above is ready to send; the pitch below is already written.
The link that does not change
oswaldescaperoom.com/kickstarter
Print it on a flyer, put it in a bio, hand it to a librarian. When the campaign opens, this address is where the project lives — nothing you already handed out has to be redone.
The pitch, if you would rather send it as written
Oswald: Escape from the Sixth Floor — a historically accurate escape room about the JFK assassination, being built in Dallas, Texas. Sixty minutes on the sixth floor, built to the public record.
Item 03 · The launch alert
Get the link the moment it opens
One email, the day the campaign goes live, with the project address and the reward sheet. It also puts you in the founding-backer window — the only seating priced and stocked before the public sees the reward sheet at all.
