Shadows of The Peale | An Escape Room Experience

You're about to make history!

Rembrandt Peale is preparing for the debut of gaslight in the United States and has asked you to work extra hours at the museum to make sure it goes smoothly. When you go to his office to start your shift, you find absolute chaos. Amidst the chaos is a letter from Rembrandt, explaining he's misplaced three of the gaslight tubes and ran out of fuel. While he rushes off to pick up more gas, you're tasked with locating the tubes (and putting his office back together while you're at it).

You have one hour before most of the city descends upon the museum for the big debut.

Will you be able to locate the tubes in time to save the museum's reputation? Or will you prove the skeptics right and likely lose your job?

Join us at The Peale for a limited-time escape room experience and see if you can beat the clock to debut gaslight or leave The Peale in the shadows!
