Jane Austen Escape Room:

The ghost of Jane Austen has risen from the grave with a dire warning. She is upset because she believes that people have become too concerned with money and looks and have forgotten the true meaning of love.

Ray Bradbury Escape Room:

The ghost of Ray Bradbury has risen from the grave with a dire warning.
