Ashlar Lodge #29 is a fi rm believer in teamwork amongst its offi cers. To reinforce that belief, nine offi cers
and one potential offi cer from Ashlar recently spent an hour in a local Escape Room game.

For those unfamiliar with the Escape Room concept, it is a game in which players are locked into either a
one or two room complex and have one hour in which to solve numerous puzzles, one leading to the next,
culminating in either fi nding a door key, or a door lock code to escape from the complex. Should it be
necessary, groups can ask for up to three clues to assist in their endeavors.

Teamwork is essential in the game, and an Escape Room experience is an excellent way of fostering
cooperation, fellowship and esprit de corps amongst the players, in this case, Ashlar Lodge Offi cers.

Success in this particular Escape Room game is only at 20% of all groups who have attempted the escape.
Ashlar Lodge Offi cers completed the task and escaped with 19 seconds to spare. Only two clues were utilized.
