FOLIE- Name and Puzzles

The folie has a name: Sense.

Sense basically consists of a stair climbing to a viewing platform. The viewing platform acts as an advertisement to the passerby to participate and rewards the successful participant. The stair is divided into two halves by a single wall. Each side of the wall, the stair is interrupted by three doors. Each door presents two things to the participant: a puzzle, and the solution to a very similar puzzle on the other side.
Each participant is invited to either solve a puzzle on their own or communicate the key to the other participant via a simple voice plate.
The first door presents a simple template for each participant. A picture of a door handle on the wall indicates which way the other door handle turns. In the puzzles that follow, each door is locked by a puzzle; the puzzle can either be solved on the spot, or solved using the key presented on the other side. The real challenge lies not in the puzzle, but by communicating a key from one side to another using language.
The puzzles themselves are interchangeable and can be reset to promote repeated play. The viewing platform provides a rewarding view of the precinct, and participants can leave either opening the doors in reverse or taking the slide to the bottom.

Puzzle Stair: Each "Cell" of the puzzle stair has a puzzle to solve.
Puzzle Stair: Participants ascend in stages
Puzzle Stair: Single Puzzle "Cell" showing puzzle keys and doors.
Puzzle Stair: Particpants cooperate to solve each
"cell" of the Puzzle Stair. When a puzzle is solved, the doors slide open.
Puzzle Stair: After proceeding through the puzzles, the
participants are rewarded with a veiwing platform and
option of sliding down to ground level.
