You’re trapped in a Smithsonian exhibit of iconic American destinations. There are five postcards hidden throughout the exhibit, and you cannot leave until you find them all. Get your booklet stamped each time you collect a postcard, and collect all five to escape! Can you explore the landmarks, complete your booklet, and escape in just 15 minutes?
NOTICE: Our escape room experiences may include flashing lights, low lighting, or periods of darkness. These effects are used to enhance the atmosphere and may not be suitable for individuals with light sensitivity, epilepsy, or other conditions affected by flashing lights. If you have concerns, please contact the library before participating.
