Find out tomorrow as we host a one-of-a-kind puzzle-solving experience in the middle of the GeekWire Gala.

As partygoers gather Wednesday evening at the Gala, we’re excited to present the WatchGuard Escape Room — a rare chance to showcase your problem-solving expertise.

Teams of six will have the opportunity to crack the code inside one of the small exhibits on the main floor of the Museum of History & Industry, deciphering clues and building objects that lead to the puzzle’s solution.

Participants will have just 10 minutes to complete a series of mental challenges inside the escape room, which was designed by puzzlemaster Roy Leban and his team at Puzzazz.

We’ve received few clues about the experience so far, other than to learn that server room at the event may have been compromised.
