Book 1 Project: Experience Room

We're offering the opportunity to re-live the experiences and escape Room's five-year-old Jack and Ma.  This re-creation of Room includes all the parts of Room, including Wardrobe, Bed, Table, Skylight, Watch, and Cabinet- all the parts that make Room Room.  You can even look into Wardrobe and see Ma's drawing for Jack for his fifth birthday.
In Room, Jack and Ma find themselves in the middle of Old Nick's 21st century dungeon and are forced to live by Old Nick's rules; to Jack, this is ordinary life, but to Ma it's like a prison.  The Room experience will take you through all of Room's components, as well as the escape Jack and Ma make.
Room fans will be able to experience the escape from Jack's perspective, and Ma will help you successfully escape.  In the book Ma said "...you won't believe how big it [the world] is.  Room's only a tiny stinky piece of it."  After that, they begin to plot their escape.
You will become Jack for the day and follow the plan: get wrapped up in Rug and thrown into Old Nick's truck and try to carry out the plan of the escape.  If you win, you get to live in the real world with Ma, but if you fail at your task, you could get very hurt; or worse.  You will be caked in Ma's vomit to reduce your risk of getting caught alive, and tightly wound up in Rug.  You will need to stay very still and keep your eyes closed the entire time.
In the Room experience, things will be exactly they were the day of Jack's escape, from "the man person" (Ajeet- the man who helps get Jack to safety) to Officer Oh.  There will be interactive bystanders that you can talk to as well, just be sure to get yourself to safety.  And don't forget the last step: Save Ma.  After you find Ajeet, you will need to talk to Officer Oh and save Ma; this is an important step!  There will be instructions for you to follow, you will need to hide this somewhere as you carry out the plan.
The Room experience will allow you to have a more interactive fan experience of Room, and if you win, think of the rewards you will get living with Ma in Outside!

Post #2: What is a Book?

         A book is a collection of thoughts and emotions, all put into one work.  A book can be held, but can also be heard.  The most important part of the book is the idea.  After all, if there was no idea, there would be no book to begin with.  I think that a book is something that has a specific smell, maybe even a specific taste?  Books are art in the form of literature, and if there were no books, no accounts of what previously happened, we would never learn from our mistakes.  If there were books there would simply be no knowledge.  Personally, I think the idea in itself is more important than the actual story’s form.  It could be a cave drawing for all I care, I just want the ideas to be preserved in some way – it doesn't matter how to me, I want great ideas to be remembered. 
             I think e-books are a great option since they can’t burn.  However, I think it sort of takes away from the point.  You’re supposed to be able to experience and feel the book, and I think just swiping your hand across the screen takes away from the experience of reading a book.  But if I had to choose between the idea and the form, I would definitely choose the idea.  The idea is for sure the most important part of the book.  The correlation between the idea and the book is evident- there would be no book without the idea, and there would be no idea without the book.  What would be the point in having a book of blank pages and calling it a story?  I think that if there were no books, or ways to remember things of the past, that the world wouldn’t really have much of a future.  We wouldn’t be able to correct our mistakes, or fix economic problems, ect because we wouldn’t have known we had made those mistakes before.  Books are important to the world’s ideas and conflicts.
