You and your fellow Freeman patrons have inherited a large estate filled with all manner of oddities. But to claim your inheritance you are challenged to spend one night in the house and work together to solve a series of puzzles to unlock the mystery of its treasures.
Bring trinkets to trade and start your own collection of curiosities!

Celebrate spooky season and test your wits at Freeman’s first ever escape room!
Coinciding with this year’s Gulf Coast Reads pick, The Librarians by Sherry Thomas, this escape room is themed around an abandoned library found in a mysterious house left to you through an inheritance.
You’ll have 90 minutes to complete the room with a group maximum of 4 people.
Attendees under the age of 12 must have an adult in their group.
