Today we had a teambuilding day with our workmates.

We went to an escaperoom .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Escape_room

Theme here was : locked in a mine and finding clues and keys to open the door. We failed miserably but had a grand time nevertheless http://www.roomescapeheerlen.nl/en/rooms/

Got me thinking : How would a Camino escaperoom look like?
The room : four bedbunks with (obvious) closed windows making it very stuffy....
Yellow arrows ? Too easy...
A toiletroll with a hidden message?
A giant bedbug creeping out of a closet?
Snoring noises that you cannot stop when you don't find the right clue....

Yep...I certainly have too much time on my hands...

Someone got more interesting ideas....?

We really do need a LOL button with a big laughing face on it.

Oh, and the real escape situation is finding the way out of town/village in the dark - before you can see the yellow arrows! SY

Well in our defense I must say that in the morning it was a very serious workvisit/ studymeeting with our Dutch colleagues that are also working in mental health/ sheltered living. Really inspirational.

Ok - let me brain storm:

A room with very closely placed bunk beds.
No light apart of a dodgy flickering emergency light.
Your belongings have been, accidentally, spread over the whole room by other pilgrims that fell over them.
The task:

Getting out of the room with all your belongings, but without packing anything that doesn't belong to you, AND be in the common room in order to get the first cup of coffee made by the hospitaler@ AND all that without waking anybody up that wants to sleep a bit longer.

Possible? Perhaps! Buen Camino, SY

I like it very much! You might want to take a patent on this!

I was looking for a picture that would match @SYates' description, but came across this. while not a match at all, it is what I would put in my dream albergue...dibs on the top bunk

Star Trek star date 306237!

The Enterprise crew as pilgrims are stuck in a never ending Camino program, which loops over and over again, triggered by a malfunctioning holodeck program called Pilgrims of Eternity

The crew are forced to endue endlessly cold sleepless nights of snoring and bed bugs, and endlessly days of walking in the blazing hot spanish sun and freezing cold rain, forced to eat meals of week's old leathery over cooked pork, and wallpaper paste cold pasta, washed down with day old red vinegar wine. They spend their nights in the same stone walled damp and cold, dusty, smelly and cramped albergue.

As we might expect, Captain Kirk following Spock's logic comes to the rescue and solves the riddle!

And the pilgrims escape! only to discover that they can never really escape the Albergue/Hotel California.
