Locked Library: Gallivant

This event has already taken place.

Join us on a journey unlike any you’ve ever experienced before. You will have 90 minutes to solve a series of puzzles with a group of other travelers, which will require your wit, speed and mobile devices. Assemble your team, get your tickets (one per person) and be prepared to use all of the tools within your disposal to escape.

Please note that this is the same game that was previously run in August at Signal Hill Library.

All proceeds from this event will support life-changing programs and services at the Calgary Public Library.

Puzzle difficulty is geared towards adults. While families have successfully escaped the Locked Library before, we recommend this event for ages 12+.

While puzzle difficulty is designed for an adult audience, we have heard from many families who have enjoyed playing together as a team and working collaboratively. We do not recommend this activity for children playing alone, as it is challenging! Recommended for ages 12+.
