Wigwam Escape A Unique Gift for a Special Dad

Your dad is no ordinary dad so why get him the same old boring gift that you gave him last year on Father's Day. This Father's Day you can celebrate your dad's unique personality and have fun at the same time with a Wigwam Escape experience at the Institute of American Indian Studies in Washington, Connecticut. This award-winning escape room won the coveted national 2020 Golden Lock Award, awarded by the Room Escape Artist for its realistic experience. This fun-filled and unexpected gift is sure to put a smile on dad's face. 


If your dad is a history buff, enjoys immersive experiences that challenge, and likes solving interactive puzzles, then a Wigwam Escape gift certificate or reservation is ideal. Best of all, this is an exclusive family and friends experience because Wigwam Escape is a private experience with only one group playing at a time. Groups are never mixed and strict sanitation of all touchable game surfaces are cleaned after each game. An added perk is that the price of admission to the Institute for Native American Studies located right next door is discounted. The full experience is 90 minutes in the museum's Research Center that includes a pre-game orientation, one hour in the escape room, and a post-game discussion. The game is set for two to seven players and the per-person cost is $25 and $20 for students and members of the museum. If your group is larger, give the escape room a call at 860-868-0510. To book Wigwam Escape or to get a gift certificate call 860-868-0151 or visit the website.


About Wigwam Escape 

The Wigwam Escape journey begins in the year 1518 - players leave all modern-day devices like watches and cell phones behind, learning to take cues from the world around them. The room itself has hand-painted murals of New England forests, fields, streams, ponds, and gardens that allow players to be immersed in the pre-contact environment of Connecticut's woodlands. The centerpiece of the room is a to-scale wigwam, crafted using traditional methods from local bark and trees. Players learn that a nearby fishing village has requested help, so they must hunt, forage, and gather supplies for the journey ahead. This unique, hands-on approach connects players to the ways Native peoples lived and the skills they relied on 500 years ago in their daily lives. Some of these lessons are timeless, allowing for an even broader takeaway from the experience of Wigwam Escape.
