Dozens of people filled the Yorkton Boys and Girls Club (YBGC) building last weekend, spending hours finding clues and solving puzzles.

Moose Jaw Pride hosted two escape rooms on Oct. 20 and 21. In the two themed rooms, participants either had to escape a dangerous cabin or help a drag queen find all of her gear before her big show.

“It was awesome,” said Laura Budd, Education Coordinator with Moose Jaw Pride. “People had so much fun.”

Budd said 160 people participated in the escape rooms. She hopes to host similar events in Yorkton in the future.

“We’re always looking for things that are fun and inclusive,” she said. “This was an overwhelming success.”
