Aurora Public Library's Escape from the Wizard's Castle 7.10

The wizard's kitchen puts them all to shame. There's a sticky spill on the floor, a calendar with the days all scrambled by the fridge. In the middle of the kitchen, a small island countertop holds [[dirty glasses and bottles|Bottles]]. There's an [[oven]] and a [[refrigerator]]. Against the far wall, a long counter holds a [[kitchen sink]] and a [[cauldron]], along with several half-baked cooking projects.

<img src="https://coaapps.auroragov.org/Library_Virtual_Escape_Room/Images/map-4piece_6135154.png "> Once, there was a raven who lived on a little island in the middle of the world. The raven was happy, but hungry, and he wished to find the land of infinite berries. First, he flew toward the sunrise, for the sunrise was pink like a strawberry. But there were no berries there! Still facing the sunrise, he took a left, but the neighboring kingdom was so full of storms that the raven couldn’t continue. Frustrated and wind-tossed, the raven flew home to his island – but then took a right! Sadly, going right was the wrong way to find berries. “I've searched some in both east and west, but maybe berries need warmth,” the raven mused. “I’ll fly a little further south!” But the next kingdom down did not have berries. “Perhaps I simply have not been looking high enough! Some berries grow in trees,” said the raven. So for his fifth trip, the raven flew north as high as he could, but found nothing. “I have searched nearly the entire world,” the raven sighed. “But I will try one more place.” The raven flew across the world to the land he’d never been – and there, at last, he found his heart’s desire.
