Senior Involvement Specialist, Luis Nieves, and the Director of the Center for Leadership and Service (CLS), Scott Snowden, hosted an event called “The Escape Room” at Kean University’s involvement center in the Miron Student Center on Feb. 8.
The scenario was a murder mystery and participants were given clues to guide them through the puzzles.
Inside the room, there was a large table with chairs for all of the participants. There were folders with clues hidden throughout the room, which participants used in addition to others hidden throughout the surrounding area to try and solve the mystery.
Intriguing characters, hidden clues, decorations, and even a projected fireplace for ambience all culminated to immerse the participants in the mystery.

There were quite a few rooms within the involvement center, but for the purpose of the event, most of them were forbidden to the group. Everyone seemed to be having a lot of fun with the “Easter egg hunt” for the folders.
The group, however, was given access to a couple of rooms, each “belonging” to a character from the escape room story.
One group of participants included: Kendrah Bender, Shanae Spencer, Victor Brannon, Chris Carillo, and Megan Campesi. It took about 30 minutes total for them to solve the mystery.
