Escape Reality!
The Friends of the Mississippi Mills Public Library have joined forces with The Escape Reality Company to offer, at the Almonte branch, a unique, interactive, upcycled art experience similar to a classic “escape room” game (without the element of being locked in). This game has a steam-punkish vibe and can be played sitting down!
A little about the game and the scenario:
Clues have been created from upcycled items from the Civitan monthly auctions, garage sales and the Hub. Who knows, you might be playing with some of your old treasures!
“Your late uncle WEG’s lawyer has summoned you and all those receiving inheritances from his estate to a meeting tonight. The trouble is, you don’t have an Uncle WEG. The lawyer, however, is quite insistent that you come and that there is much at stake – more than you could ever have thought possible! But when you arrive things are not quite as they seem… What have you gotten yourself into?”
The game is limited to 15 players and to players 18+. Tickets are $25 each. Register & pay in
advance at the Almonte Branch. The event is on Sunday, 26 January, 3-4:30 p.m. All proceeds go to support the library.
The Friends of MMPL are hosting a staged reading of the play, “Get What you Need” by Jackie Bennett on April 26, 2025. Meanwhile, Step 1 of this event – actor auditions – is on 29 January from 2-8pm. For more details, please contact Jackie Bennett (phone and email in the photo above).
