We don`t always (ever 😅) lock our students in rooms, but when we do it`s because the Achieve staff put together an Escape Room as part of their end-of-year celebration 🗝️🔑 No pressure, but the time to beat is 6 minutes & 32 seconds! ⏱️
*No Vikings were actually locked in rooms, forced to stay, not allowed to leave, or otherwise harmed during this activity. In fact, they were fed a feast, awarded for their achievements & sent on their way - all by the end of campus hour. 🙃
