Fonthill Castle Hosting 'Escape Room' Event

Here's a cool event happening later this month in Doylestown: Fonthill Castle is holding it's own "Escape Room" on Jan. 26 from 6:30 to 9 p.m.

Escape Room scenarios are all the rage now, and what better way to get in on the fun than at the local castle.

Here's the setup, according to the museum:

Mystery and intrigue await all those who dare to enter Fonthill Castle’s Escape Room. The Scenario: As a young man traveling through Europe, Henry Mercer explored the ancient French castle Chateau de Tiffanges (that inspired the Bluebeard legend) and he brought back with him a mysterious key which has now gone missing. Working with Doylestown Escape Room, Fonthill has transformed a little known room at the top of castle’s tower, into a whirlwind physical adventure game and the only way to solve the mystery is for groups to work together to uncover clues, figure out puzzles and discover the location of Bluebeard’s key before time runs out.

The event, recommend for those 12 and up, also includes a 30-minute candlelight tour of the castle. Participants must be able to go up and down multiple flights of stairs.

Reservations are required and space is limited. To reserve a spot, call 215-348-9461. Tickets are $40; $35 for museum members. Click here for more information.
