The story

The legend

You’ve heard the story of Panther’s Hollow, haven’t you? This is a real place in Holmes County. The legend goes that way back when a circus was going through on the historic Port Washington road, two black panthers jumped out and dashed into the deep woods. A small boy whose name is long forgotten jumped out and ran after them.

Abandoned, the boy was adopted by a local family, Earl & Grace Conrad. Over the years many myths and legends grew and surrounded the mysterious hollow. He became a recluse, not wanting to speak to anyone.

One day, you and your friends wander into an old barn near Panther’s Hollow. You enter cautiously… the door slams shut behind you. You’re trapped. You look around and realize there is a lot more to this old barn than meets the eye. Can you and your friends work together to solve the mystery of Panther’s Hollow… or will you become another mystery in the legend?

What people are saying

“We did the Panthers Hollow room last night and had such a blast! It was everyone’s first time doing an escape room and we escaped with a minute left. The room was well detailed and the staff was very friendly.”

Josh T.

“This was our first escape room experience and this is definitely a good one for any experience level. We had fun, the room was set up well, it was challenging enough to be fun, and our game master was just helpful enough to get us unstuck.”

Jessica Houser

“Awesome experience for our first time doing an escape room. Our two moms and three girls successfully completed the Panther room. 10/10 would recommend and would do again!”
