TECH TIP TUESDAY:
There are a lot of options when it comes to creating a water spray effect for your haunt. My personal favorite is our Electric Spray System. It's a reliable effect that has the added bonus of not requiring compressed air!
Check out this video for an overview on how to set up these water sprayers and program them with a PicoBoo ONE controller.

TECH TIP TUESDAY:
A new light controller perfect for creating quick lighting effects with standard 110v AC light bulbs!
This controller has a ton of great modes to choose from and works with incandescent and dimmable LED lights. It's sometimes tough to tell for sure which LEDs will works with these sorts of controllers. A good basic rule of thumb is the "dumber" an LED light is, the more likely it will work with a controller like this. That means LED lights that offer color chnaging modes, built-in brightness adjustments or other "smart" features are not likely to work.

TECH TIP TUESDAY:
Every good haunt needs spooky audio to really set the scene. In this video I introduce and show some of the features of our newest audio player, the TriggerSound EX.
The TriggerSound EX is a triggerable MP3 Player with 7 trigger inputs and a variety of modes to choose from. You can play a looping audio file, trigger a scare sound to interrupt a looping file, trigger different scare sounds depending on which input is triggered and more!
In this video I go over how to load sounds onto an SD card for use with the unit, as well as how to configure the sound mode and wire a trigger to the inputs.
TECH TIP TUESDAY!
Tech Tip Tuesdays are back and we're starting off with something from the Escape Room realm. We had a request to cover some more Escape Room tech in our posts, so here's one that highlights one of our favorite pieces of Escape Room tech: the Faux Fone.
The Faux Fone is a controller that can interface with almost any touch tone telephone to create an interactive puzzle. Numbers dialed on the phone can trigger specific audio files and one "solution" number can also trigger a relay (to unlock a magnetic lock or activate another effect).
One other cool feature of the Faux Fone is the inclusion of a Ring Input. Triggering the Ring Input will cause the phone to ring and if the phone is answered while it is ringing an additional special audio file can be played. This is great for giving a clue during the course of the game.
The diagram shows how you would wire one of our Wireless Triggers to the Faux Fone to trigger the ring input.
