Cindy Crushes Programming: Five Nights at Freddy’s Escape Room
With the Movie coming out at the end of the month, we knew that a Five Nights at Freddy’s Escape Room would be popular. I even made a display to help promote sign up and participation. I finally had a full sign up for a program. Because of interest, I ran two 45 minute sessions.
Plot: You are investigating Freddy FazBear Pizza after a security guard has gone missing. You have suddenly been locked in the room. You have 45 min to get out before Freddy Fazbear gets you.
