(I'm thinking of finding a way to attach wires to the recorder, where there would normally be the battery.)
We found some chips online that you can record a message on and have it activated by light (used for stationery).
Where did you find those? I might have to try that if my original idea doesn't work
Amazon? I think? I also just thought of those toy microphones that can record a sample.

How about a Furby in your box? 8-)

I feel that a Furby included in the process should be worth at least 50 points in the competition, not to mention, imagine getting beat by a
Furby.

Does the event timer stop when "The End" starts to play or at the end of the sound "The End?"

See rule 4.f. -- it's the beginning of the word "end".

See rule 4.f and the rules clarification for that section (though the latter is not strictly relevant to your question).

Anyone know how to get consistent digital or analog inputs with an Arduino? We're using an Arduino wave shield for the final task and we got the recording to play, but it doesn't work when connected to the previous task. The other task causes a reed switch to turn off and an SPDT relay connected to that turns off, and it's connected to a digital port on the Arduino. digitalRead is getting us some very inconsistent inputs though, so we're not sure what to do. The analog input is just completely random, so we don't think that works either... any tips? :'( Thanks, and happy holidays! :')

Code for just testing input, pls let us know if we've somehow messed this up:

void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(7, INPUT);
}

void loop() {
Serial.println(digitalRead(7));
}
Just trying my best...

Try connecting pin 7 to ground across a 10k pull down resistor.

Exactly what I was thinking :)

The pins in an arduino sometimes drift so either placing a pull up or pull down resistor (or using the ones in an arduino) will fix this.
