Magic is in the air! Get ready to be part of something extraordinary at Culpeper’s Wizard Weekend. It’s an event like no other, and we want you to be there!
The Culpeper Wizarding Express Mini Escape Room!
You have taken the Culpeper Wizarding Express to the World Hexball Championships, only to realize you left your lucky scarf on the train. You and your friends quickly dash back to the caboose, where lost items are collected, in the hopes of finding it. Unfortunately, in your search, the door locks trapping you inside. Can you find your lucky scarf and unlock the door before the train leaves the station?
Taking place in an old caboose located in front of the museum, you and your friends will have 30 minutes to try and solve several puzzles to find your lucky scarf and get out!
This escape room is recommended for individuals over the age of 10. Of course, you know your children better than we do, so younger people are allowed to participate, but they may or may not find the experience engaging.
All participants under 16 must be accompanied by an adult. The adult must have their own ticket or be 1 of the 6 for a group ticket.
You should plan on arriving about 5 minutes before your scheduled time. The puzzle will begin at the scheduled time. Because we need time between groups to reset and clean the room, we have to start the clock on time.
All you need to bring are your wits and a sense of adventure. You will not need any tools; everything you need to solve the puzzles will be in the room.
*Please note that the caboose is NOT handicap accessible.
*It is an enclosed space with no electricity, and it may become hot, especially during the afternoon.
Efforts will be made to try and keep the temperature down, but be prepared for it to be warm inside.
Space is extremely limited, and advanced registrations are required. Tickets are $15 per person or $75 for a group of up to 6 people.
For more information, contact Christine Wuebker, Education Coordinator, at education@culpepermuseum.com or call (540) 829-1749.
