![]() Alexanderia the Great |
Dedham High School Dedham, MA USA |
6:00 pm | Underwater Shackle Escape: This escape is more dangerous than Houdini's Water Torture Cell escape as any open water escapes are not controllable. For this escape, Alex starts with a 15 pound lead weight belt to keep her at the bottom of the ten foot pool. Next Alex has shackles secured on her wrists and ankles with 4 Master lock padlocks. There is a connecting chain with two more Master locks attached to both shackles so she cannot swim to the surface without escaping all. She is then heavily chained with 25 feet of 3/4 inch solid linking chain and additional padlocks are added for a grand total of 8 Master lock padlocks. All totaled Alex is weighted down with over 55 pounds of chain, shackles, locks and a lead weight belt. She must escape the shackles, chains and the lead belt in order to surface. | email: Alexanderia the Great

She will have less than 45 seconds to get the bag unlocked before it is set on fire. She must escape from the chains, pick the lock on the flaming bag and let it fall to earth while she grabs onto the chain used to suspend the bag, all without running out of oxygen, burning to death, or falling. |

| Gwyd the Unusual | Grand Rapids, MI USA |
TBA | The Lobotomy Chair Gwyd the Unusual will be locked into a contraption designed for nothing other than fiendish execution. He will be chained to the device, wrists and ankles to the seat and his neck to the upright post that forms the back of the chair with a steel collar. At the top of the post will be a spring tensioned pickaxe. At exactly one minute, the pin that keeps the pick from swinging downward will be removed, sending it crashing into the back of the chair, the tip of the pick piercing through to sever Gwyd's spine at the base of the skull. |
