Escape Room-Zoom Style

Teens, looking for an escape? Then come see if you can beat an online escape room with your peers. At 4:30 p.m., January 12 join in the Virtual Teen Tuesday event and put your reasoning skills to the test. For teens ages 12+, free.

Escape rooms help build teamwork and reasoning skills. You don’t have to be an expert at anything to participate and help the team. Zoom escape rooms allow each team member time to work on the problem themselves, while also supporting the team effort. No need to worry about one person dominating.
