Each of the seven "locks" will be either a word or a number that is hidden in the room. Your goal is to find and/or figure out the codes for all seven locks. NOTE: THIS IS A POINT-AND-CLICK ESCAPE ROOM IS BEST PLAYED ON A COMPUTER WITH A MOUSE, NOT A PHONE OR TABLET.
Rapunzel is overjoyed that you want to help her! She hands you a paper that has been enchanted with the power to open the locks when the correct information has been entered on it. You now realize that you could just climb down Rapunzel’s hair-like in the story-and escape out the window, but you feel bad for her and decide that you’re going to get her out of here, too. But really, I’m so weighed down by all this hair that I get exhausted whenever I try hunting around to find anything.” “She’s so mean! She has imprisoned me behind 7 locks! She taunts me by bragging that she’s hidden clues that will open them, but says I’m not smart enough to figure them out. She tells you her whole story, ending with a rant against how awful her sorceress guardian is. Rapunzel quickly gets over the shock of your sudden appearance and then proceeds to talk your ear off, obviously grateful for your company. You apologize profusely for invading her space. You briefly wonder what her toilet paper supply is like, and then bring your thoughts back to the problem at hand: How are you going to get out of here? You’ve had to quarantine inside your own home for a few months, due to Coronavirus social distancing, but that’s nothing compared to the years that this girl has spent locked in here alone. Which means you’re trapped here in the tower with her. Her massive amount of golden hair is piled into a heap around her. It is only then that you realize that you are not alone there is a young woman on the bed, huddled in the corner, looking at you with wide eyes. A quick glance around the room reveals a small living area and a bed.
Peering out the window, you realize that you’re very high in the air, overlooking rolling green hills, small villages, and wooded areas. You find yourself in a circular room with stone walls. You open an ancient Fairy Tales book that you found at the library, and WHOOSH!!!! You are immediately sucked into its pages!
