Test your brainpower at this escape game experience!
Escape the Museum is back and better than ever. After a sold-out weekend in 2024, Griffin MSI is hosting 12 nights of "The Wandering Alchemist." This giant escape game asks you to find clues and solve puzzles as you explore the Museum after hours.
Take a closer look at some of your favorite exhibits as you work to pass the final exam leading to your induction into the Guild of Alchemists. Each puzzle is designed to test your curiosity, logic and insight as you explore the museum like you never have before.
This year's program is for players who identify as beginner to immediate. Experienced escape room players are welcome but may go quickly through the games.
This event is family-friendly and suitable for ages 8 and up. Players under 18 must be accompanied by a ticketed game-playing adult.
Dates:
August 29
September 6, 20, 26
October 5, 11, 12, 17, 24
Tickets
$40 per player ($35 for Museum members) includes parking in our underground garage.
Puzzles are designed for guests 8 and up. Children under 18 must be accompanied by a ticketed game-playing adult.
Game will take about 60 minutes to complete (exact time varies depending on your group size, familiarity with Museum, and puzzling experience).
Limited capacity per time slot: please purchase the same start time for everyone in your group.
Plan to arrive 15 minutes prior to your ticket time to gather your group and get your instructions.
Snacks and alcoholic/non-alcoholic beverages will be available to purchase before starting the game.
Areas of the Museum unrelated to puzzles will be closed during this event.
