Virtual Escape Room:
"The Museum Heist"

Thursday, November 12 @ 7 pm
We will connect via Zoom.
​Pre-registration is required (see below). 

Many of our readers enjoy reading thrillers. In November, instead of reading about art thieves and escape artists, we’re offering the chance to be an art thief and escape artist!

On November 12 at 7 p.m., the library will host a virtual “escape room.” Participants will connect online via Zoom and combine their communication and thinking skills to successfully “escape” a fictional scenario called the “Museum Heist.”

As former art thieves, you and your friends are hired to find a rare collection of stolen artwork on the eve of a prestigious gallery opening. Breaking your way into the thief’s home, you must follow clues, find the stolen goods and escape before the clock runs out. This immersive adventure is good for all ages. — from breakoutgames.com/Chattanooga

When escape rooms began to spring up across the country a few years ago, many thought they would be a passing fad. But their continued popularity has enabled these real-life adventures to withstand even the pressures of the current pandemic with the advent of “virtual” escape rooms.

Our group will pretend to be “locked in” an escape room that’s actually in Chattanooga. We will  direct our Game Host, who will physically be in the escape room, to crack codes, solve riddles, piece together puzzles, and find clues to work together and solve the mystery, escaping in less than 60 minutes. If the group has difficulty, the Game Host or moderator will suggest a clue to follow.

This is a wonderful way to hone communication skills (both speaking and listening), critical thinking and problem-solving skills, and the ability to work together as a team!

The cost is $12.50 per person (payable to the library). This event is limited to 8 people. You may team up with a friend on the same Zoom connection, but each person must be a paid registrant. If enough people are interested, we will schedule another session.
