Escape the Old Post
Third Floor (Former Attic)
On the 3rd floor, the building’s original attic has been transformed for Escape the Old Post – one of the world’s most unique puzzle rooms. Teams attempt to solve a series of puzzles and riddles using clues, hints and strategies to complete the objective: beat the clock and ring the original 1912 bronze bell housed on the roof of the building. Learn more about this unique experience and book your escape here.
