Escape from Snape’s Office: Secrets of the Serpent

You're not just students anymore—you’ve been roped into a secret mission by a mischievous (and slightly unhinged) Hogwarts professor with a dubious plan and a craving for contraband potion ingredients. Your task? Infiltrate Professor Snape’s private office under the guise of “borrowing” something important. But the moment the door clicks shut behind you, you realize: this is no ordinary office… and Snape knew you were coming.

Dark enchantments guard his most valuable secrets. Cursed objects shift when you’re not looking. Ancient Slytherin puzzles coil around hidden truths, and something alive—almost—waits in the shadows.

To escape, you must decipher runes, control serpents under the Imperius Curse, unlock the vault of Salazar Slytherin himself, and uncover the truth behind Snape’s most protected treasure. The clock is ticking—he returns in 60 minutes, and if he finds you here... well, let’s just say it won’t end with house points.

Do you have the ambition, cunning, and nerve to survive the Serpent’s trials?

Registration required and limited to 8 per session. For adults and youth ages 12 and up. Children 8-11 yrs old may participate with parental supervision (BOTH parent and child must be registered).

A waitlist has been enabled. If you are unable to attend, PLEASE call to cancel at your earliest convenience so that others may be notified and make arrangements to attend.

*** Added Bonus! If your session has the best time for escape, you will be entered into a drawing for an especially Snape-y prize! Winner will be announced at the Hogwarts House Cup afterhours event on Thursday, July 31. Your presence is not mandatory to win, but join in on the extra fun and birthdae cake! ***
