As creative director and project manager, I helped my team tackle these deliverables while ensuring they remain realistic, are appropriate for how a haunt functions, and fits in the space given. We began with brainstorming general themes and story elements. Once our story was finalized, we began to map out the story beats and how those would fit into our layout. We had weekly meetings to ensure that the project is running smoothly. We placed within the Top 10 teams and presented our haunt in front of a panel of industry professionals and answered their questions in under 10 minutes.
