HOLY MYSTERIES ESCAPE ROOM
St. Luke's BR and St. James BR are co-hosting a fun event (6th-12th grades): the EYC Escape Room Experience: "Holy Mysteries."
Date: Sunday, Sept 30th
Time: 6:00-7:30pm
*Escape Room doors lock closed at 6:20pm so you must be here before then to play the game.
Location: St. James Episcopal 205 N. 4th Street in Downtown Baton Rouge, LA,.
Heavy snacks will be offered. No cost.
The premise: Youth will be "locked in" a room filled with clues to unlock a holy mystery. Could it be whispers of a martyred saint, could it be a puzzle code in the BCP, could the patin be covering a secret key? 6th-8th graders and 9th -12th graders will have separate mystery spaces with their different clues. Each group will have 45 minutes to unlock their holy mystery.
Each group will have 2 adults with them for chaperone presence. Prizes will be awarded for teams who are successful at their sleuthing before the timer ends!
