Abstract
Works cited: pages 110-111. 'This thesis explores the underlying moral questions asked within Dan Brown’s Dantebased thriller, Inferno. Guests are given a quest to seek and find a yettobereleased plague somewhere within the walls of the attraction before time runs out. The focus in this design is in educating the guests about the world of Dante, Florence, and overpopulation in today’s world while giving them a choice to make at the end that sets the tone for the whole experience. The question asked of guests explores the morality of the group based on altruistic sensibilities versus egoistic tendencies.' Keywords: themed entertainment, escape room, Florence, Dante, Inferno, altruism, morality Advisors/Committee Members: CHAIR: Head, George, Devine, Michael, Auer, Chris.
