Designed for larger groups and alternative learning styles, Wigwam Escape’s Hybrid program encompasses the escape room, a lesson in traditional skills and a museum tour – all in one program! This hands on, 3-4.5 hour program is set for 3-21 players & explores concepts such as… Environmental Resource Management How did people use resources around them in their day to day lives? Home & Village Life In this area of the Northeastern Woodlands, what style homes did people live in? What skills were important to daily life? Food & Medicine How did people hunt? What did people garden? How did people utilize medicinal plants?

The objective or goal is to gather supplies for a journey ahead in the year 1518. Game players, retain their personal identities, but are “transported” back in time. It is up to each team to figure out how to collect water, cook food and make medicine with the resources they have around them. Through kinesthetic (or tactile) learning and solving puzzles, players are prompted to think critically and work together to complete a common goal. After the game, a museum educator will discuss, how the game ties into the bigger historical picture, and why this information is relevant to today’s world.
Shelter building, fire starting & foraging are just some of the skills a museum educator can focus on during your Hybrid program. Depending on your group size, IAIS can also include a tour of the museum so participants can get a full view of 12,000 years of history!
