Oh no! You have accidentally traveled back in time to colonial America. The only way to get back to the present is to solve a series of puzzles. Participants will work in groups and have 45 minutes to solve the series of puzzles. Throughout the escape room challenge we will explore the 13 colonies, learn about the economic, political, and religious motivations for settlement as well as the regional differences among the colonies.
This escape room is recommended for ages 8 and up.
In order to participate in this program participants will need to be able to read and write.
