Students crack the code!

A group of students enjoyed an exciting Escape Room experience hosted by Hereford Cathedral at the weekend (25 January).

Thanks to the collaborative efforts of RNC staff Jess Wilkes and Mel Davies, along with Verity from the Cathedral, the Escape Room was made fully accessible for students with visual impairments.

The challenge: "It is 1890. You have been accused of embezzling money from the funds of the Vicars Choral. The police are on their way. You have been shut in the Old Chapel until they arrive, and you have just one hour to work out who has committed the crime. If you can successfully convince your guard that you are innocent, you will be released before the police arrest you...Can you prove that you are innocent?"

The students rose to the occasion, successfully escaping the room in an impressive 59 minutes!

Activities Co-ordinator Beth said:

'It was a really great experience and we can't wait to take another group. A big thanks also to RNC staff member Heloise, who supported the students during the activity.'
