There is a new interactive challenge opening today at the Millcreek Mall.

Our newest reporter Fontaine Glenn got a sneak peak into 5 Wits.

You have to use your wits to get through these interactive adventures. There are lots of lights, decorations and creativity that went into each challenge.

There are three interactive challenges you can participate in — Drago’s Castle, The Tomb and Espionage. Each one has their own story line. For example, in Espionage you are a spy and have to crawl through lasers in one of the rooms.

This location in Erie marks the seventh 5 Wits location in the nation.

Test your wits at 5 Wits

A fascinating and fabulously fun new attraction awaits at Millcreek Mall.  5 Wits will open its doors on Friday, March 5 at Noon.  It’s not a game room.  It’s not an escape room.  It’s 15,000 square feet of puzzle-solving adventure.  This new, interactive entertainment concept is located next to Round 1.

At 5 Wits, groups of 2-12 people get to test their wits in interactive rooms with different themes, such as Drago’s Castle, Espionage and Tomb. The players are faced with puzzles and challenges they must overcome as a team in order to progress through the rooms and complete their mission. There are computer controlled lighting and sound effects, optical illusions, and a wide variety of physical and mental puzzles and electromechanical effects.

5 Wits is recommended for players over the age of 7.  Children 12 and under must be accompanied by an adult (over 18).  The price per session is $29 per person, with special pricing for groups of 8 or more people.  5 Wits encourages players to reserve their sessions online at: www.5-wits.com/erie/tickets.

(NOTE:  A special sneak-preview for members of the news media will take place on Thursday, March 4 at 11 AM.)

The Millcreek Mall Complex is located on upper Peach Street and Interstate 79 in Millcreek Township, near Erie, Pennsylvania.  It has been serving the community since 1975 and has been expanded and renovated numerous times, keeping it up-to-date with current regional mall uses, trends and occupancies. The complex currently comprises more than 2 million square feet of shopping, lodging, dining and entertainment.  For more information, visit www.millcreekmall.net.  Millcreek Mall Complex is owned and managed as part of the Cafaro family of companies, based in Niles, Ohio.  To learn more about the Cafaro organization, go to www.cafarocompany.com.
