This $26 per person exercise takes about 90 minutes, if you are good. Locked in an authentic colonial room as a Revolutionary War Spy for the Americans, you have to decipher a mind-boggling series of clues, find the key and the secret battle plans and escape. Groups up to 8 For all ages. Said to be intermediate difficulty.
