Dr. Grimsworth's Cognitorium "Escape Room"
2025-10-13 12:00 - 18:00 (America/Chicago) | Meeting Room @PPL, 202 West Beers Street, Poplarville, MS, 39470, United States
Call the library, schedule your appointment to see if you can escape Dr. Grimsworth’s Cognitorium room. The program is free and for all ages.
An escape room, also known as an escape game, puzzle room, exit game, or riddle room, is a game in which a team of players discover clues, solve puzzles, and accomplish tasks in one or more rooms in order to accomplish a specific goal in a limited amount of time. The goal is often to escape from the site of the game. Escape rooms test the problem-solving, lateral thinking (“thinking outside the box“), and teamwork skills of participants by providing a variety of puzzles and challenges that unlock access to new items or areas in the game when solved.
Most escape games are cooperative, but competitive variants exist. Escape rooms became popular in North America, Europe, and East Asia in the 2010s. Permanent escape rooms in fixed locations were first opened in Asia and followed later in Hungary, Serbia, Australia, New Zealand, Russia, and South America.
