The cost per team is $180\, with a special weekday discount available for sessions on Monday through Thursday at 2:00 PM or 4:00 PM.

Benn is the author of the Billy Boyle World War II mysteries. The debut\, Billy Boyle\, was selected as a Top Five book of the year by Book Sense and was a Dilys Award nominee\, A Blind Goddess was longlisted for the IMPAC Dublin Literary Award\, The Rest Is Silence was a Barry Award nominee\, and The Devouring was a Macavity Award nominee. Benn\, a former librarian\, lives on the Gulf Coast of Florida with his wife\, Deborah Mandel. \nAbout Peter Berkrot: A veteran of stage and screen\, Peter Berkrot’s career spans four decades. Highlights include feature roles in Caddyshack and Show-time’s Brotherhood\, and appearances on “America’s Most Wanted” and “Unsolved Mysteries.” His voice can be heard on television\, radio\, video games\, documentaries and industrials. \nA Bitter Wind: Christmas Day 1944: After his last mission put him in the tailspin of the Battle of the Bulge\, Captain Billy Boyle travels to southeast England to visit his girlfriend\, Diana Seaton\, for a brief holiday respite. Diana is engaged in classified work at RAF Hawkinge\, including Operation Corona\, which recruits German-speaking Women’s Auxiliary Air Force members—many of them Jewish refugees from the Kindertransport rescue—to countermand German orders and direct night fighters away from Allied bombers. \nIt’s fascinating and critical espionage work\, but it’s laced with peril\, as Billy finds out. On a scenic Christmas walk along the White Cliffs of Dover\, Billy and Diana stumble upon the dead body of a US Air Force officer. In the dead man’s pocket are papers with highly confidential information about radio interception operations. Information worth killing over. \nAs Billy digs into the secret world of codebreakers and radio jammers stationed at Hawkinge\, another body turns up. Now Billy must find out what connects these two men—and who was so hell-bent on silencing them. Enlisting the help of his long-time associates\, Billy undertakes another thrilling investigation that brings him to war-torn Yugoslavia\, where he must rescue an escaped POW who may be the only person who knows the truth.

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. The challenge is clear but daunting: teams must work together to capture the elusive White Rabbit and escape the Rabbit Hole before time runs out. The stakes are high\, as failing to solve the puzzles in time risks the wrath of the Queen of Hearts and her infamous decree\, “Off with their heads!” \nDesigned for groups of friends\, families\, or colleagues\, the experience accommodates teams of three to six people. Each group has exactly one hour to decipher clues\, solve intricate puzzles\, and unlock the secrets necessary to make their escape. 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. Secure your spot and view available time slots by visiting Ivoryton Library’s Eventbrite page. The cost per team is $180\, with a special weekday discount available for sessions on Monday through Thursday at 2:00 PM or 4:00 PM. Don’t miss your chance to take on the Queen of Hearts—reserve your escape today!
