About this Event
The Deschutes Historical Musuem announces an escape room experience based on real local history. Your team works together to find clues, solve puzzles and Escape the Museum!
Playing the part of Research Interns, you must uncover the whereabouts of a collection of missing 19th century artifacts before your rivals do. Times-a-ticking... you only have 60-minutes on the clock, so every minute is crucial to solving the case and escaping the room.
The real history:
In 1909, The Bend Bulletin announced that Rev. J.A.Mitchell, local curate and acquirer of antiquities, was "collecting towards a museum" for the community of Bend. After his death in 1911, Mitchell's relics and curios were frequetly exhibited around town, eventually finding a permanent home at the Deschutes Public Library.
However, in 1969, the few remaining items in the collection mysteriously disappeared from a small, locked room in the library's basement. The only remnants of the once-noted collection purchased by the public and the City of Bend in 1912 to form a city museum, were never found...UNTIL NOW!
A fundraiser and membership drive, Escape the Museum: The Case of the Curate's Collection is an immersive adventure designed for a team of up to six people. Grab your friends and family, form a team and get ready to uncover the location of Rev. Mitchell's collection.
