Fort Description (and more pics)

Initial plan:

The fort started out bright and white with a complicated styrofoam cup ceiling. Took quite a long time to do and involved rubber banding the cups together, hot gluing them, and then stringing them up in all kinds of ways.

The final room was pitch dark. Like, 100% pitch black, no light whatsoever. However, every 5 minutes a blacklight would shine for about 2 seconds, illuminating the crazy blacklight designs on the walls. Here’s a little clip of the nonsensical discussions that occurred during the darkness (the screams are from when the light surprises everyone each time):
