In this escape room participants will role play as young fossil hunters that have been locked in the Libraries Research Lab by mistake. They must solve a series of puzzles to locate the emergency badge hidden in the room, disengage the lockdown, and escape before time runs out! Successful young fossil hunters will be awarded a prize... and unsuccessful ones will be lasered.

Ages 9-18. Reservations required. Registration opens 6/17/2026

Please be aware that if you arrive late for your scheduled timeslot, we won't be able to extend your time. To ensure you have the full experience and enough time to find all the clues, we recommend arriving early!

Space is limited. Program sponsored by Maricopa County Library District as part of Maricopa County Reads, the summer reading program at the library.
