No homework, no test to study for – and these days, Big Ryan Shows to look forward to!

The children who came to the premiere of Alien Escape was a rousing success! Of the many comments we received we heard the room was “so much fun” and “a real challenge (in a good way)” I wanted to not just present a game but a real experience – and I feel like I delivered exactly what I was hoping to!

The kids that arrived loved all the different kinds of games and original experiences that this Mystery Room has to offer! I am excited to bring this game to many of the libraries this summer. If this game is any indication, we’re in for a great summer!

I am super excited to bring you the newest Traveling Mystery Room! This one is a doozy! Alien Escape is coming to a library near you this summer – BUT – be one of the first to play THIS MONTH as it debuts at the Pembroke Library!

That’s right! Pembroke Library is hosting the premiere on May 27th at 4:00pm. Make sure to sign up today, this one is a doozy!
