Escape Room

McCulloch Escape Room

The McCulloch Escape Room is a historically themed immersive adventure game for the whole family and is a part of the McCulloch House Museum & Genealogy Centre in Pictou, Nova Scotia. Located within the museum.


 

Unlike other escape rooms, success of the McCulloch Escape Room is based purely on the power of the mind.  Each storyline requires thought, sense, and deliberation rather than mere searching in order to escape. 

A successful escape will require you to uncover hidden clues, crack codes, and solve challenging puzzles that lead toward posing a solution to the mystery at hand. But hurry, the clock is ticking.

If you are looking for a reason to get out of the house with family or friends, the McCulloch Escape Room is perfect for you.

McCulloch Escape Room offers multiple storylines to choose from. Review the available stories below and book your reservation today!

"Write to Vote"

Difficulty: MODERATE

Age: 13+

Duration: 60 mins

Group size: 2 minimum - 6 maximum 

The story ...

The year is 1907, the beginning of a revolutionary change both for Canada and the world: Women’s Suffrage – the political movement to bring about women’s right to vote. 

Annie Armstrong always felt bound by the societal pressures of being a homemaker. Influenced by the campaign of pioneer Canadian suffragist, Edith Archibald, 
Armstrong formed her own political club, the Woman’s Suffrage Union of Pictou. 

After several rallies, Armstrong finally convinced 188 Pictonians to sign a petition. When it seemed as though the future for women’s rights was bright, the union’s club was mysteriously ransacked. 
Records and evidence of the union’s existence and, worst of all, the recently signed petition went missing. The Mayor is demanding Armstrong to present her case and petition in order to pass the bill for women’s rights.
