University of Windsor faculty and students will face off Tuesday in a local escape room that features electrical components designed by a UWindsor electrical engineering student.

Members of the Windsor Engineering Student Society will compete against an engineering faculty team at 10 a.m. August 23 at Hidden Trail on 3147 Tecumseh Road East.

Earlier this year, Hidden Trail hired Joel Bondy, an electrical engineering undergraduate student, to assist with the design of several electrical components in two of its escape rooms: the Speakeasy and the Mad Hatter’s Birthday.

During the challenge, the UWindsor faculty and student teams will enter the two rooms at the same time. The first team to escape wins. Hidden Trail owners say it takes most groups approximately an hour to solve the series of puzzles and storylines before they escape the room.
