Looking for a fun, unique and entertaining activity? Look no further. UW-Stevens Point at Marshfield Continuing Education will open Marshfield’s first-ever Escape Rooms June 27.
Escape Rooms are one-hour, theme-based challenges, in which a team must work together to find clues to solve puzzles, crack codes, and unlock locks to ultimately complete a mission before time runs out! UWSP at Marshfield is set to open three rooms, “The Missing Patient,” “Project Save Graduation,” and “The Mysterious Forest.”
“The Missing Patient” takes place in the Campus’ CNA Lab complete with a medical theme. The goal is to find clues to reveal the missing patient’s whereabouts on campus.
In “Project Save Graduation” the mission is to break into the Dean’s Office (actual Dean’s Office) and put her clicker back in its secret hiding spot in order to save graduation.
“The Mysterious Forest” is built for groups of eight of more and is an ideal retreat for co-workers, friends and families. Taking place in the campus Arboretum, this particular escape room isn’t staged in a room at all!
“Many are surprised to hear the campus is offering Escape Rooms, but we think it makes perfect sense. Escape Rooms are a fun way to exercise critical thinking, problem solving and teamwork. All of our test groups have had a blast, so we are excited to have the public try them out,” says Program Manager, Rebecca Bauer.
Escape Rooms are open to the public and to organizations for professional development purposes.
“We can accommodate small to large groups during daytime or evening hours. We also offer personality surveys and post-game debriefings with trained facilitators for an additional fee,” says Bauer.
Registration fee is $25 per person. Rooms are available Thursday and Friday evenings and Saturday afternoons and evenings.
