Locked Library: Ghost Stories

Central Library | September 26 | 7:00 pm

Prepare for an evening of exploring, sleuthing, and puzzle-solving in Calgary’s spooky Central Library. You’ll be hot on the trail of mystery in this Library-sized BOO-dunnit, with clues to follow and challenges to solve on every level. 

This game is family-friendly—and not actually scary! We recommend this event for ages 12+.

Save $10 with early bird pricing until August 29. All proceeds from this event support vital programming, resources, and initiatives at Calgary Public Library.
