Get your friends and family together for a puzzle-solving, zombie-filled time this weekend at Panorama High School.

The Panorama Middle and High School Technology Student Association, or TSA, is hosting an “Escape Room” fundraiser for those five-years-old and up. An escape room is known as a physical adventure game in which teams solve a series of puzzles and riddles using clues to complete an objective. This is the first year TSA has hosted this event, as the chapter’s president and vice president Luke South and Lauren Soll were inspired from doing an escape room at the TSA National Conference in Atlanta, Georgia. South explains how escape rooms reflect TSA, “We used an escape room because in TSA you got to have leadership skills and teamwork skills to solve problems so it’ll be a lot like that.”

Teams of up to eight people will each have 30 minutes to complete the escape room obstacle course. Soll gives advice to the teams, “You will have a guide following you around so each team will have clues that we can give them. So that will be nice, but it’s definitely like just work with your team. Don’t try to be the ruler of everything because that can definitely make it challenging when one person is trying to think of everything, make sure that you can have a team that you can work with for sure.”

The team with the fastest time will win Panorama TSA shirts, and there will be experienced and rookie courses. The Escape Room takes place Friday from 6-10 p.m. and Saturday from 2-10 p.m. Cost is $5 per person with proceeds going towards Panorama TSA.
