DUNNELLON ESCAPE ROOM FIELD GUIDE
Race the Warlord: Recover the Lost Jewel of Zanzibar in Dunnellon
A 60‑minute, up‑to‑7‑player escape‑room that drops your team into a 1930 Africa backstory; this guide clarifies the setting, logistics, and what to expect.
Race the Warlord: Recover the Lost Jewel of Zanzibar in Dunnellon.
The Lost Jewel of Zanzibar stages an urgent, puzzle‑driven hunt: it is 1930, a colleague named Magnus Ferguson has hidden a mystical gem somewhere in Africa, and your team must follow his clues and claim the jewel before a ruthless warlord and his army arrive to take it. The experience condenses that narrative into a single, high‑tempo session run by Dunnellon Escape Room in Dunnellon, Florida.
