Wings of Eagles has “Gone to Mars.”

May 23, 2019 by Karen Curtis

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

In addition to the new exhibit, Mars Base Eagle, visitors may experience the new Rover Mission Escape Room.

Escape Room mission

MARS ROVER & COMMUNICATIONS

Objective: Exit Rover and Restore Communications

You are on the surface of Mars in your rover. You and your team have been sent to an equipment drop location at the very edge of Endurance Crater. The drop includes the equipment needed to power-up a new communications antenna. This antenna operates in all of Mars’s weather conditions – even dust storms. Without the antenna, communications with Earth will not be possible for over a year due to a satellite failure over this portion of the planet.

You try to unlock and open the door, but there is a malfunction. Before the dust storm hits in one hour, you will need to find the manual override key to exit the rover, access the equipment, and power-up the antenna. The coming dust storm is forecast to last 4 to 5 months, and without the antenna, you will not be able to see, to navigate back to base.

Will you and your friends be able to power-up the antenna and restore communications for Mars Base Eagle before the dust storm strikes? Or, will you be hopelessly lost in the storm, unable to return?

You have 60 minutes to complete the mission, so please have everyone in your group arrive early and plan to spend at least 1 hour and 15 minutes at Wings of Eagles.

The level of difficulty for this room is appropriate for ages 12 and up.

Cost: $ 28 non-members, $ 25 for Wings of Eagles Discovery Center Members. Discount for groups of 8 people and over.

You must have a minimum of 2 players, maximum of 10. Larger groups of 8 to 10 have an advantage, but only if you work as a team.

If you do not book all openings, other players will be added to fill your group size

Dates available,  Currently booking now thru July 6

Tuesdays, Wed, Thurs 9 AM to 8 PM, and

Saturdays at 6 PM, 7:30 PM, & 9 PM

First call, first served. To book: Call 585-278-4456
