The Landis Valley Village & Farm Museum Is a 100-acre living history museum in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Its staff and volunteers collect, conserve and exhibit 300 years of Pennsylvania German material from 1740 through to 1940.

The escape experience will take place on site of the vast museum and players will act out and re-live an important moment in American history.

Picture the scene: America’s Second Continental Congress have fled British-occupied Philadelphia and taken refuge in Lancaster, only to discover they must continue westward in order to stay out of each of the advancing British army.

Players will take on the role of the local townsfolk, and provide provisions and safety to the fleeing representatives by solving puzzles and clues throughout the buildings on the living history farm village. This will be a particularly unique escape experience, as the majority of the game will take place outdoors.

Terry Kreider of Landis Valley said, “We have this wonderful 100-acre site, and wanted to use it and make it not just a room…it’s more interactive that you have to travel outside and throughout the village.”

The tasks involved the escape experience are largely related to aiding the congressman. Players have to do simple maths to figure out provisions, or help the congressman disguise themselves.

Kreider says that the escape experience can accommodate up to 90 players every day by dividing the number into groups of 30 people into each of the available three time slots.
