111418 The Escape Room - Web Story

You’re trapped in a jail cell in a pitch-black room with only a lantern as a light source. Nearby, a seemingly innocent bookshelf hides clues. You find another flashlight, but the batteries are missing. You feel the pressure of the ticking clock. This was the first puzzle of many faced by adventurous Islanders as they traversed the trials and tribulations of the Mary and Jeff Bell Library’s escape room. Set up in celebration of International Games Week, the escape room challenged the Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi community – students, faculty, and staff – to team up and test their minds in a competition to see who can most quickly navigate the puzzle-filled room.
