Trapped in Time: Escape Benner 1975
Your group was on a tour of Benner when, suddenly, you were transported back to 1975 for the grand opening of Benner Library. The time travel equilibrium needs to be restored so you can go back to the future before 30 minutes elapse and you get stuck in the past forever.
Thursday, October 16 - Saturday, October 18, 2025 reserve your time slot now.
