Escape from the Sixth Floor

A sixty-minute, evidence-based escape room set on the sixth floor of the Texas School Book Depository — built in Dallas, Texas, where the day happened. One of the few historically accurate rooms in the country: you learn the real 1963 timeline as you play.

Exhibit 02 · The experience

Sixty minutes, floor six

> WIRE 11:38 AM > SUBJECT: SIXTH FLOOR > STATUS: RECONSTRUCTION > CLEARANCE: PLAYERS x4-6

Real timeline

Every beat is anchored to the documented sequence of November 22, 1963 — sourced, dated, and cited in the room.

Evidence puzzles

You solve from primary documents and period artefacts, not from lore, guesswork, or a conspiracy you were handed.

1963 artefacts

Period-accurate props and scanned exhibits, handled the way a case file is handled: carefully, and in order.

No gore, no tropes

Documentary, not a haunted house. No scare actors, no blood, no theory presented as fact.

Exhibit 03 · The accuracy claim

Built on named sources, not legend

Primary source

Warren Commission findings and the exhibit markers of the public record, cross-referenced puzzle by puzzle.

Wire record

1963 AP and UPI wire copy and teletype transcriptions, reproduced as the documents you actually read in play.

Archival scan

Every reproduced exhibit and frame is built from archival scanning practice, so a prop never contradicts its source.
