Ghost Hunt: Warehouse Wreckers Escape Room

October 24-26, 31 and November 1
Graham’s Game Café at The Warehouse on 2nd, 231 N 2nd Ave

Ghost Hunters—You’ve been called to a long-abandoned warehouse on the edge of town—once a bustling hub, now a hotspot for unexplained noises, flickering lights, and mysteriously moving objects. The owners hoped to renovate it into a trendy event space, but those plans came to a screeching halt when they showed up…

Three prankster spirits have locked themselves deep within the warehouse, protected by riddles, traps, and tricks to keep nosy humans (like you) from sending them back to the other side. You have 30 minutes to outsmart the ghosts, uncover their hiding spots, get them into the transporter before the portal to the spirit world closes for good.

The Warehouse on 2nd has created this spook-tastic Escape Room experience to benefit the Winterset PTO and the experience is specifically geared to families with elementary or middle-school kids. The cost is $40 for the whole team (up to 6 players). While you’re at The Warehouse, you can get a player pass to Graham’s Game Café for just $5.
