SUMMARY:"The Wonderland Conundrum" - An Ivoryton Library Escape Room
DESCRIPTION:The “Wonderland Conundrum” Escape Room\, running Friday\, March 13th through Sunday\, March 29th\, invites teams to tumble down the Rabbit Hole for a whimsical event.

It is an opportunity for participants to test their wits\, teamwork\, and problem-solving skills and have fun! \nSpace is limited for this special two-week engagement\, so early reservations are highly recommended.
