  • We have just 1 hour to interrogate all the suspects, beat them at their own games, and sift through all the evidence to figure out who is responsible, how they did it and why!
  • Be the first team to finish and be promoted to Detective and earn your badge!

Everyone loves a Mystery Room!  This traveling room includes riddles, observation and memorization puzzles, physical challenges, and games offering participants a chance to use cognitive thinking and reasoning skills while encouraging team-building with a healthy dose of competitive spirit!

...the story of the city’s French speakers, from their arrival and growth through their eventual decline caused by new immigration restrictions, the Great Textile Strike of 1928 and the Great Depression. Most came from French-speaking Canada; others came from Europe – France, Belgium and Switzerland; a few came from French overseas territories, including some people of color.

An intricate history showing how immigrants formed a set of vibrant communities, the book vibrantly showcases approximately 350 rare historical photographs of people, places and celebrations; sports events, clubs, businesses, industries, streets and neighborhoods.
