Escape Room

The gorilla stole the zookeeper’s keys and let out some animal friends! Your mission is to find all of the animals and the zookeeper’s keys. This at-home escape room can be done in the comfort of your own living room and is designed to be completed in approximately 60 minutes.  Clues vary in levels so everyone can be part of the action.

  • I Spy (tabletop): We will have a tabletop I Spy challenge and you will have to find different animals on it each week! This activity is sponsored by the Friends of the Newport Public Library.
