Jews in the D

Shaken Not Stirred
The Well presents a Sukkot-inspired escape room.

During the holiday of Sukkot, 
the Jewish mystical tradition 
teaches that our sukkahs are 
visited by ushpizin (guests). 
 In The Well’
s Sukkot-
inspired escape room, a group 
of great Jewish luminaries 
have come to visit, and they’
re 
here to see if you have what it 
takes to pass on the knowledge 
of Sukkot. 
 In groups of up to eight 
people, you’
ll work together to 
crack the code of Sukkot ritu-
als, Jewish wisdom and histo-
ry. If you can solve the puzzles 
and unlock the secrets of 
Sukkot before time runs out, 
you might have what it takes 
to become the next great lumi-

nary. Content and difficulty of 
the escape room is suitable for 
those high school-age and up.
Shaken Not Stirred: A 
Sukkot-Inspired Escape Room 
will be open from Friday, Oct. 
11, through Sunday, Oct. 20, 
at FerndaleHaus, 430 W
. Nine 
Mile Road in Ferndale. One-
hour sessions are available on 
the hour from 6-9 p.m. on 
Fridays, Saturdays, Tuesday 
and Thursday, and from 4-6 
p.m. on Sundays.
The cost is $100 for groups 
of up to eight people. (Most 
escape rooms charge $25-
$36 per person.) Find open 
sessions and buy tickets at
