Escape Experience Kit - Included in this kit is (almost) everything you need to host escape experiences at your library based on Indiana history and featuring primary source documents. After you have made your booking you will get a confirmation email with a link to the instructions for your kit, including a detailed video explaining every aspect of your kit experience. If you are unfamiliar with our Escape Experience kits, we encourage you to watch this introductory video.
What's the story? Your group is trying to find a diary written in 1904 by a real nine-year-old girl who lived in Indiana. Iris Baughman visited the World's Fair and wrote all about it in her diary. Unfortunately, the diary has been stolen by Sammy, the Interviewing Toucan. Can your group find the diary? Of note, this kit includes a stereoscope, a hollow book, and a jigsaw puzzle featuring a map from the 1904 World's Fair.
