Escape Room: Operation Circus

Designed, built, and executed by Illinois Tech undergraduate and graduate students from diverse disciplines across campus, Operation Circus is escape room that asks participants to serve as private investigators to uncover the history of Avis Rosamund Nachtnebel—circus performer, ring mistress, and beloved great aunt of your client, Charlie—and solve the mystery surrounding her will. A race against time, participants are asked to follow the clues and discover Avis’s last will and testament to ensure her collection is preserved and not sold off to the highest bidder by Charlie’s wicked uncle.  

The escape room is located in the basement of Michael Paul Galvin Tower on Illinois Tech’s Mies Campus. Tickets cost $10, and can purchased via the link below. 

Operation Circus will be open through Tuesday, August 31.
