An escape room experience at Hayes Presidential

Assemble your troops and join Lt. Col. Webb C. Hayes as you descend on Vigan Island during the Philippine Insurrection during the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums’ next escape room.

The escape room will be offered at 5:30 p.m., 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, March 26 through Saturday, March 28.

Tickets are $20 for Hayes Presidential members and $25 for non-members. They can be purchased online at rbhayes.org/events. Advance tickets are recommended.

Tickets also will be sold the days of the event at the museum front desk, pending availability.

Webb Hayes was President Rutherford and First Lady Lucy Hayes’ second son and the founder of the Hayes Presidential Library & Museums. This escape room is based on his military experience.

During the escape room, you are under orders to form a search party to locate a group of U.S. soldiers imprisoned at an unknown location on the island. Sources from the 31st Infantry have confirmed that a clue trail was scattered around the site to aid in your search.

Enemy forces are stationed throughout the island, so you must move quickly to avoid detection. The success of this mission will determine the fate of your comrades. Your country is counting on you.
