Hi all,
I am going through a floor plan redesign on our haunt and I started wondering how everyone else does this. I have read about the triangle grid system and about the heavy use of 90 and 180 turns to minimize cross group scaring. I have also read about using carpet on the floor so the panels will stay put better and drawn the layout on the floor with sidewalk chalk just before you install the wall panels. The main this I want to know is how does everyone get started? You have a blank sheet of paper and an empty warehouse. Where do you start? I have built a few of these now but it just seams to be the most challenging part of doing the haunts for me.
Do you guys start with a specific scare or prop and totally build the room around that?
Do you use auto-cad on the computer. Paper or just go at putting up walls to see what works? (right now I use !Punch ProPlatinum Home builder)
Do you build a maze first and work the walls around to fit rooms and scare boxes?
I try to make each area stick with the theme of the back story and that makes it harder.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks,
Randell
