History Mystery 250: The Missing Meadville Ledger
An Outdoor Escape Room Adventure
Downtown Meadville’s First Friday is turning into a history mystery.
As America prepares to celebrate its 250th anniversary, a long-lost record known as The Meadville Ledger has resurfaced — but its final chapter is missing. The clues needed to restore it have been hidden throughout downtown Meadville, and your team is invited to help solve the mystery.
Pick up a Keystone Clue Sheet at any participating business, visit downtown clue stops, solve puzzles connected to Meadville’s history, and collect the answers needed to reveal the final location. Once your sheet is complete, turn it in with your contact information to finish the adventure and enter the prize drawing.
This family-friendly outdoor escape room is designed for teams, friends, families, college students, history lovers, puzzle solvers, and curious explorers ages 10+.
