"The Interview"
It’s the opportunity of a lifetime! You have an interview to be employed at the home of John and Olive Diefenbaker. However, you have to pass a difficult interview to obtain the job. The interview takes place on the main floor of the house. A long-time worker at the house will greet you and tell a few stories about the house and community. They have been assigned to oversee the tests you must pass, ranging from mental puzzles to physical chores.
Can you and your audience member team complete the tests in time to successfully obtain your coveted position or will the clock defeat you?
"Behind Glass"
The Historical Museum needs your help! Artefacts in the museum have been moved around or incorrectly placed. Staff and volunteers at the museum have no idea who is causing these disturbances.
Historical figures in the Museum will show you around the museum floors and share stories about their lives and the exhibits in the Museum. Can you figure out which one of them is the culprit?
