Escape Room Challenge at Library Recap

Between Dec. 6 and Dec. 9, the Newton Public Library hosted an escape room challenge. The meeting room was turned into a dimly lit “librarian’s office,” and participants were told that they had been locked in the library after hours and needed to locate a key, a badge and a library card in order to escape. Participants were required to solve puzzles and scavenge for clues in order to find the required items within the 30 minute time limit. A total of 26 teams and 144 people participated in the event. Check out the team rankings located in the Library Lobby.
