Weston, W.Va. – You have one hour: find the hidden clues, decode cleverly-crafted messages and solve challenging puzzles in an effort to rescue the ‘mountaineer’, locate the treasure and defeat the pirates of the West Fork River at Stonewall Resort’s new escape room!

Opening Wednesday, July 17, Stonewall Resort Escapes’ “Pirates Of The West Fork” is a live-action game experience that’s sure to test your wits. Located in the Roanoke Activity Plaza on the resort grounds, the escape room is perfect for individuals and groups.

And, we plan to build an additional escape room or two soon.”

D’Amour said teams of 6-8 people will play the game together.  Guests can bring their friends and make their own team or for individuals interested in playing, the resort will create teams. The concept is also great for families, team building and retreats.
