HURON — An Escape Room designed and built by the youth group at Huron First United Methodist Church will be open Friday until Sunday, to raise funds for the Revive Youth Ministries to assist in this year’s mission trip to Milwaukee.
The Escape Room is all team based, for groups between two and eight people. The first booking is Friday at 6 p.m. Saturday goes from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., and Sunday will be from noon until 7 p.m.
Using brainpower and teamwork, groups have 45 minutes to find out “Who kindnapped the Pastor, why was he taken, and where is he.” The escape game will mainly consist of riddles, puzzles and locks that players will need to solve to escape in time.
The escape game will be held in a room at the back of the Huron First United Methodist Church, and there is a video that participants will watch beforehand to understand the motive of the game.
The idea to build an Escape Room came to Emma Jungemann on a trip to Mitchell. “A youth group had an escape room in their church they built themselves,” Jungemann explained.
“I came to the group leader and said that this would be a good idea for a fundraiser. I always thought of it as a fun activity before.”
