Event: Digital Escape Room -- Oct. 22

Family Weekend is approaching, and we've created a digital escape room for you and your family and friends. Solve the puzzles left behind by Professor Shortz and see if you can "escape" the library.

You can complete this escape room by yourself or as a group with family and friends. Try as many times as you want and remember to have fun.

"The Final Escape" digital escape room will go live on Thursday, Oct. 22.
