ESU library blends science and magic in escape room adventure

Can you discover the secret of the Philosopher’s Stone?

Find out as William Allen White Library invites students, employees and the public to become alchemists-in-training and solve STEM-based puzzles in the new alchemy-themed escape room called The Philosopher’s Quest — an adventure inspired by the world of Harry Potter.

Sessions are available Monday, Sept. 29 through Thursday, Oct. 2, from 3 to 8 p.m. daily. To reserve a time, contact Alex Mosakowski at amosakow@emporia.edu. There is no cost for ESU students and employees and a $5 per person charge for others.

The event is part of a monthlong exhibit called Renaissance Science, Magic and Medicine in Harry Potter’s World, hosted by William Allen White Library in partnership with the National Library of Medicine.
