THE AMPLIFINDER and ARENA 51

The AmpliFinder looks and operates like an large, autonomous smartphone. Among
its many features, it alerts our human heroes to let them know when they’re
needed; and, it transports them through a magical/musical energy portal to Rhyth-
mos and back again.

It is the na�ve guide and map system, providing historic and cultural background
on any given region our heroes are about to visit and explore – both prepping
us for the day’s story and musical genre, as well as providing some educa�onal
element. It speaks with a commanding, thespian, Sir Ian McKellan-like demeanour.
When the magical energy which sustains any given region of Rhythmos

depletes enough to impact the environment, the ancient Mys�c Score hidden in
that region will send out an “S.O.S.” alert via trace magic – an alert detected by The
AmpliFinder (and, unfortunately, a similar device possessed by our villains – more on

them below). It is in this way that the AmpliFinder is able to lead our heroes to the
general loca�on of the Mys�c Score of today's episode. Once they manage to uncov-
er its exact whereabouts, the kids use their device to “scan and read” the nota�on
on the Score (like an iPhone app).

Once loaded into the device, if Tom or JoJo can properly hum, drum, whistle or clap
the notes, the device “synchronizes” – confirming that they are correct, then playing
back the tune in a basic beep (i.e., not “strong” enough to release the magic, which
they must accomplish by performing on REAL instruments; also note the interac�ve
play pa�ern, and that this would be the FIRST ITERATION of the new tune du jour).

Now they know they are on the right track to the next step: Rehearsal! ARENA 51 is
the Rhythm Warriors' AIRSHIP/MOBILE CONCERT STAGE which is FULLY MODULAR in
order to suit the needs of any concert se�ng (i.e., en�re setup with plasma screens

and “wall of sound” amps can be used for outdoor
fes�val style shows; or amps and ligh�ng rig can be
removed for a more in�mate se�ng in a natural
“amphitheatre”-style cavern); the giant plasma
screens will o�en be useful in reinforcing the

curriculum during climac�c performance
sequences, as we again see the nota�on in
graphics while the kids perform to it in real �me.
