Escaping the Tower | Escape Game around the Citadel
As he was patrolling the Tower of David one night, the security guard, Azriel, walked up to the tower viewpoint to marvel at the nighttime beauty of the city. He stopped and leaned against the ancient stones and one of then moved ever so slightly, which actually caused a disruption in the space-time continuum! Coming back down, Azriel noticed that one of the figures from the history of the city had gone missing from the exhibition timeline! The cosmic disturbance had caused an important person from Jerusalem’s past to move out of the timeline and into ours. That person is now trapped in one of the towers!
If we cannot help them get back into their timeline – our present and future may change forever!
