Project Photo: Photo + Text-Based Adventure
Project Photo is a photo-driven text-based adventure run by a central AI GM which controls image generation, image retrieval, puzzle creation, and text description. The player is physically trapped within digital photos and must find a way out using smart deduction, clever thinking, and swift action. The GM adapts itself in real-time to player responses and generates new content as needed per gameplay session. I am currently implementing a system that allows continual improvement of the base model using LoRAs.
This project was made to test out the potentials and limitations of machine learning models as well as serve as a means to encourage players to identify the difference between AI generated photos and human produced photos. In an age where AI content oversaturates the internet and many can’t tell truth from lie, it becomes extremely important to be able to identify what represents reality and what does not.

The Heist: A Metapuzzle Hunt
The Heist is a metapuzzle hunt that I designed and ran for the Puzzles for Computing course at RIT in May 2024. The hunt was themed around a heist of a beloved jewel, and featured puzzles that required a team to solve a series of interconnected puzzles to unlock the final answer: where the stolen item was hidden.
Credit goes to Jaden Kitchen Lipski, Zane Kitchen Lipski, Drew Moeller, and Kyle West who collaborated with me to create the puzzles.
The hunt can be found here.
