This November the Lone Jack Historical Society planned its eighth distinctive escape room fundraiser. These unique, interactive, fun fundraising adventures have proven to offer repeat appeal. This year’s offering proved wildly successful with 14 groups and 70 players.
A teacher and chaperones from Meadville, MO brought students for a Saturday field trip to experience history at the museum. While half the students puzzled out clues in the escape room, the others chatted with living historians and participated in a scavenger hunt on the grounds waiting their turn for an escape room adventure.
This year’s limited engagement escape room offered Depression-era gangsters, fast cars, holdups and thrills. Friends gathered to solve the puzzles and clues to escape before time ran out. While visiting Lone Jack for this adventure, several groups extended their Lone Jack visit by stopping at various restaurants in town.
