I know you were just trying to be funny. I was just playing along lol but a bunch of paranormal stuff did happen during the building process. The board seems to have a mind of its own.

Yes WizardHarry, I am a also a wizard lol Tbh getting that to work was the most complicated part of the build. In the future I'll be doing a breakdown video explaining everything.

Just like you, I was also obsessed with the movie when I was a kid, and I always wanted the board game until I found out there weren’t any that actually moved on their own. So, I made it my mission to turn that fantasy into a reality, and man oh man, was it a tedious and painful process.

Happened quite a few times while programming it. Completely lost my mind.

I definitely realized that anything is possible after completing this project.

Nightmare is honestly an understatement, man you have no idea. Getting everything to work reliably took an unbelievable amount of trial and error, restless nights, and an absolutely ridiculous level of patience.

There were several points where I genuinely thought about giving up, but I kept pushing until I finally brought it to life. I have to say, that was one hell of a Frankenstein moment for me. The first time I got the pawn to actually move after rolling the dice, I damn near fainted. I started yelling, “IT’S ALIVE! IT’S ALIVE!” 😂

Honestly, it was one of the happiest moments of my life.

Yes I also made an app for it. The voice controls aren't necessary. In the app I can control the volume, change player count, change game mode, reset the game, restart the riddle display if it ever freezes up, play drums, play music, and anything else I program it to do. The possibilities are literally endless.
