Criminal Justice Club Escape rooms: Whispers in the Husk

About this event

Step into a century-old mystery this fall! In 1898, a young boy named Cornelius became trapped in a local corn maze while trying to solve an impossible grand puzzle. Over 100 years later, his unsettled spirit still shifts the corn stalks, trapping fairgoers after dark and forcing them to help him finish his game.

Folklore researcher Trutie entered the maze to map Cornelius’s layout and free him, but she has vanished. Now your group must navigate three immersive rooms on the second floor of the HAH study rooms. You'll begin by braving the initial corn maze, search for Trutie's clues inside the farmer's barn, and ultimately reveal the secrets hidden at the central shrine site to decipher Cornelius’s carnival challenges before time runs out.

Gather your team and test your wits; the fastest group to escape wins a prize! Will you solve the puzzle and escape, or become another whisper in the husk?
