Trapped in Time: Escape Benner 1975
Escape Room 2025
As part of Benner Library’s 50th Anniversary Celebration, we invite you to step into a thrilling time-travel adventure!
Your group was enjoying a guided tour of Benner Library when an unexpected twist sent you spiraling back in time—to the grand opening year of 1975! Surrounded by retro books, vintage tech, and the buzz of a brand-new library, you quickly realize something’s not right. The time travel equilibrium has been disrupted, and you have just 30 minutes to restore the balance and return to the present day.
Solve puzzles, decode clues, and uncover hidden secrets from the past. But hurry—if time runs out, you may be stuck in 1975... forever. Dun dun duuun!
Can you beat the clock and make it back to the future?
