Escape Room 2022

Escape the Library - More than Just Books


It's the beginning of the semester and your Underwater Basket Weaving 101 group decided to have their first project meeting in the library's Reservable Group Study Room. Since you were going to be in the lower level of the library, you decide to book a time (after the group meeting) to print a special poster to decorate your dorm room. Once your poster is printed, you learn that you can pay to have it laminated so you drop it off at the first-floor Circulation desk. Since it's after business hours for a large lamination, you will have to wait until the next day to pick it up. It's getting late and your roommate has probably turned in for the night so you decide to go to the Ultra Quiet study space on third floor to finish an assignment that is due soon. Unfortunately, you start to nod off and fall into a deep sleep. When you wake up the library is dark and you realize the library has closed and you are locked in! Now you must find the eight hidden trophies of some of the services the library offers and place them in the room to get the key to escape. Before Public Safety catches you in the library! Dun dun duuun!
