Art Heist at UR!
Students, staff, and faculty are invited to participate in a game that combines a heist mystery and an escape room.
President Crutcher has been framed for stealing a valuable work of art, but he claims to be innocent. The College Deans have been named as suspects. Find art on campus and solve puzzles and clues with the help of QR codes to solve the mystery and exonerate President Crutcher!
