The Lost Librarian - Interactive Escape Room
The Lost Librarian is a ground-breaking digital escape room for inquisitive explorers of all ages. Using interactive mechanical books, groups of up to six people experience a 60-minute journey, uncovering a fantastical tale of the last known witches in the UK and the legacy that they have left behind. Groups will work as a team to solve the mystery of the Lost Librarian.
The Lost Librarian herself is Molly Allison, a librarian who has been researching the Devon Witch Trials and the local legends of their ‘Secret Treasure’. To throw off a mysterious rival, Molly has had to hide her research and the treasure within the library, creating a web of puzzles and clues to protect it - the ‘books’ she has made. The technology that powers the puzzles themselves, enables us to present touch sensitive mazes, logic puzzles, and word searches, as well as puzzles that require very different input, such as having to make certain gestures to unlock a clue.
The Lost Librarian was at Exeter Library on Saturday 24th July until Wednesday 4th August 2021, and continued its tour of Devon, moving onto Barnstaple and Newton Abbot throughout the summer holidays. It has also visited Paignton and South Moulton!
The Lost Librarian will be at Seaton Library from Fri Oct 21 — Sat Oct 29: get your tickets!
