Event Details

Can you solve the puzzles in time to save yourself?

You are trapped in an icy tundra!  Your survival gear has been locked in a bag by your mortal enemy.  Luckily, they gave you a chance at survival.  All you have to do is solve the puzzles they left behind to unlock your bag.


To play, pick up a Break-In Bag at the circulation desk.  Solve the puzzles in the booklet to decipher the correct combination to open the bag.  If you get stuck, there are clues in the booklet and hints in the envelope.  

Solve the puzzles, open the bag, and claim your survival gear!
