• Puzzle Hunt Challenge will start at 6pm on July 18th, 2024
  • Teams must register in ADVANCE (Scroll Down to Sign up)
  • There is no limit to team size
  • We are using the telescape application again for the puzzle hunt – no need to install an app as it runs out of a browser
    • That means that each team will have their own game.
    • Each person on the team can log into the game together to see the clues.
    • You will have your own timer showing your time to completion
    • If you leave the game, you can jump right back in to the same spot
    • The game will store your clues as you find them
  • We will start at 6pm on July 18th
    • At that time, everyone will receive a link to their individual game at the email address used to sign up for the group (if you don’t see it check spam)
    • The person who signed up can share that link with everyone in the group
  • There will be one puzzle for each location again, but there may be more than one clue in each location
    • There will be riddles to help you find the clue when you are in the correct location
  • All locations will be in Byron, Minnesota
  • There is no penalty for incorrect answers on the site (answers will give you a hint of the format that it is expecting for answers)
  • Recommend a phone with a Maps application (ie Google Maps)
  • The clues may require searching when you get to the location, but there will be riddles to give you a hint
  • All of the clues will be visible without moving any items
  • Each team will receive their own link to the game at the email address they provided while booking.
  • A paper and Pen is recommended
  • Do NOT take the clues with you.  Recommend taking a picture in case you need it again later.
  • If you have questions during the hunt, please reach out to Escape Challenge via Facebook Messenger

Prizes will be for the first three teams that finish.

THE THRILL… THE CHALLENGE… CAN YOU ESCAPE?
