Work together to solve intriguing puzzles and unlock the Breakout Box. Can you do it before time runs out?

20 minutes, 3 missing keys, one locked box. 

The museum has asked the library if they can borrow a copy of their rare, and extremely valuable book - the secret diary of the illustrious librarian Miss Morgan of Arthur - and they need it today. The only problem is the book is locked away in a box and the only librarian that knows where the keys are is on vacation! Luckily, she left behind clues and the head librarian has tasked you with deciphering those clues, finding the keys and opening the box in time to take the book to the museum. 

Can you follow the clues, solve the puzzles, and crack the code before time runs out? Let's find out!

Starting at 10:30 we will be running a challenge every 30 minutes until 2:30. We recommend you sign up to reserve your spot; but drop-ins will be welcomed. 

AGE GROUP: | Tweens 9-13 years | Teens 13-18 years | Kids 5-9 years | Adults 18+ |
