Archaeology Escape Room

10:00 AM - 12:30 PM
Rutland
Group Study Room
Solve puzzles to find the right dig site. Each puzzle you solve gives you more information, which improves your chances of winning the final challenge!

Notes to caregivers: 
  • If you think your child may need support while in the escape room, please plan to provide it.
  • If you're having more than one child attend, please make sure to register them as a group of the appropriate size to prevent overbooking or being split by the waitlist.
  • There are different independent puzzles with different difficulties - one easy, one medium, and one hard.
  • The easy and medium puzzles are aimed at a younger audience (5-8), while the harder puzzle is there to provide a challenge to older kids (9-12), to accommodate mixed groups. Hints will be available on request.
  • Attendees have 20 minutes to solve all three puzzles, starting at the beginning of your timeslot. If you're late, you'll lose time to solve puzzles.
  • Solving individual puzzles will give progress towards the final 'dig' puzzle, with a token prize for completion.
