POP UP ESCAPE ROOM

We have something you won't find anywhere else... A custom designed POP UP ESCAPE ROOM! 

Created by an RT regular and puzzler uber-fan Matthew, we're excited to have him share this unique experience with you all!

The challenge is this: After countless nights, your party finally stands in the final chamber. Before you lies the Altar of Ragnar, fabled to hold the key to defeating Mordax the Conqueror but only if you can discover its secrets . You must hurry though. Mordax senses your presence here and approaches. You must solve the enigmatic puzzles upon the altar swiftly before Mordax is upon you!

YOUR GUNPLA EDMONTON

Members of this local Gunpla (Gundum Play) community will be on hand with finished kits to display and kits for you to build!
As a bonus, they are also going to hold a raffle and Build Contest where folks could win a $50 Gift Certificate to Rolling Tales!
