OOPS! - The Game Show Maze

Original Haunted Maze Concept | Haunt Comp Submission | Universal Studios Art Exhibit

OOPS! began as my 2023 Haunt Comp submission and evolved into a fully realized maze concept inspired by twisted game shows and Universal’s icons Jack the Clown and Chance. As Art Director & Lead Concept Developer, I led storytelling, scenic design, character development, and visual worldbuilding.

I developed the maze through traditional and digital mediums—creating concept art in pencil, paint, markers, and pastels; building a complete 3D SketchUp model; and fabricating a detailed 1":67" physical model from clay, foam, and wood. The miniature, filled with tiny gags and easter eggs, was later exhibited at Universal Studios.

This project showcases my ability to shape an immersive narrative through beats, sets, and character-driven moments while blending creativity, technical thinking, and hands-on fabrication.

Logline
Jack the Clown hijacks an abandoned game show studio to host OOPS!, a deadly competition where one wrong move means death.

Synopsis
Jack and Chance twist a once-cheery game show into a gruesome playground of rigged challenges, warped sets, and backstage horrors. Guests enter as contestants, surviving round after round of Jack’s macabre “games.” Lose and you die; win and you might earn a place among Jack’s Maniacs. By the end, survivors learn the final twist: no one leaves unchanged.
