The State Capital Library is really pretty, it in Perry Iowa, at Hotel Pattee has a really really beautiful, and quite cozy Library. If I could have it as a home library, I sure would.

What’s the prettiest library you’ve ever been to, (private or public)?

The first opening is 10:00 a.m. each day, and the last one begins at 3:00 p.m. While we allow an hour to solve the mystery, it may not take that long, depending on your sleuthing skills (and the hints you wish). There is no charge to participate in this escape room. While there is no age restriction, the escape room is intended for people aged upper elementary through older retired.
