Time Depends on Date - See Event
Painted Prairie Vineyard
1575 250th Avenue, Currie, MN
making over the Red Barn to manor for a spooky escape room adventure. This is not a "lock you in the room" experience, but one where you have to work as a team to solve riddles and puzzles to move through 13 challenges.
What's the story?
Your cantankerous, trickster uncle was always a mystery, even after he died. Your cousin slimy Steve and his wife bratty Bertha have an old will naming them heirs to everything. But after your uncle’s funeral, a lawyer tells you that he is certain a new will named you his heir and that your uncle hid it with a fortune of gold in his crumbling, haunted manor estate. However, you only have one hour until the other will is certified and then you would have no hope of inheriting. Can you escape with your fortune and the real will or be trapped in the tricks of the spooky manor?
This is ideal for ages 12 and older with group sizes of up to 8. If you have a group larger than 8, we would recommend breaking into two groups and competing against each other.
Cost is $40 per group. Reservations for a date/time must be done in advance to allow set-up time. Call Painted Prairie to reserve your spot---507-626-5203.
Bonus! Do it in the evening for an extra spooky challenge!
