Science Escape Room Trail at Mason Mill Park

Presented by DeKalb County Department of Recreation, Parks and Cultural Affairs

Solve nature challenges along the Mason Mill boardwalk in this escape room-style nature adventure! This outdoors “Escape Room Trail” is an opportunity to take a 1.5 mile walk and learn about nature while solving a series of riddles.

No, you won’t be locked in a room, but you will be within the confines of the boardwalk while you solve each challenge. Read the interpretive signs, pay attention to your surroundings, and be creative. Complete all 11 Stations and you’ll solve the Escape Room Trail and have the opportunity to win a prize.

Use this link to navigate to the trailhead once you are at Mason Mill Park.

Watch Ranger’s Jonah’s Instruction video.

What you’ll need:
- Ability to walk or roll 1.5 miles on the South Peachtree Creek Trail boardwalk.
- 1 – 2 hours to complete the escape room.
- Smartphone that can scan QR codes and access the internet.
- A curious mind that can solve riddles and answer observation-based questions.
- Comfortable walking shoes, clothing appropriate for the weather, water, and a snack (optional).

Instructions:
- Walk along the South Peachtree Creek Trail boardwalk to visit 11 interpretive signs and Escape Room Stations.
- You will be faced with 3 Challenges at each Station. The solution to each Challenge will always be a number.
- Use an online submission form to enter answers to all challenges. Once you enter the three correct answers, the challenges for the next Station will appear on the form and you can continue your walk.
