I have a location at the end of my haunt that I want to add a drop panel to. It needs to be well disguised, because at this point the customers will have seen a drop panel picture, or two. I would hide the panel in stack of boxes or maybe a piece of furniture, but the space is very small. Does anyone have a killer way to disguise a drop panel in a wall that is not a picture?

Yeah, I'm kind of leaning toward the chalkboard, but it would mean changing how things wrap up near the end of our show this year. I just wanted to see what things other people have done, before I make up my mind.

The chalkboard rocks!!!!
We had one at the end of our haunt for the first couple of years and it was awesome. We had the drop framed really nice and above it we wrote "The Shadows Edge.........." and on the board we had it spilt with writing already on it. one side said "rocked" and the other side said "sucked" and it looked like people were able to check off with their opinion. We even glued some pieces of chalk in a tray below the board. Then when the "leader" of the group went up to the board to write his comment we would nail them everytime!!!!Scott Murphy- Owner/Operator www.theshadowsedge.com KICKING & SCREAMING!!!

You might be on to something there, Jim. Not a map, but a list of directions. My plan is to have a room at the end of the haunt with no apparent escape. Early in the show the leader of each group will be given a key. They will have to deposit the key in the last room to get the door to open. They deposit the key, drop panel falls, and door opens. I was trying to think of something that could be a drop panel, and a key deposit, but if the directions, on where to deposit the key, was the drop panel then that may work.
I was also thinking maybe a hexagon or triangle shaped drop panel that can also serve a key deposit. The shape maybe enough to keep them in the dark about what it is until it is too late.

Or a Top Secret map showing Osama Bin Laden's hiding place, drawn tiny, they move in closer for a better look and Osama rips right through the map and scares them!
Run off 500 maps on a copying machine, clamp each new map in place with those plastic spring loaded clamps to make it quick and easy.
That sound of the paper ripping will scare many people.Last edited by Jim Warfield; 06-24-2007, 10:11 PM.
