River at Risk: An Escape Room Without Walls

Mississippi Gateway Regional Park 10360 W River Rd, Brooklyn Park

The Mississippi River has been threatened with a deadly poison by an evil villain, the Denatureizer, and only you can save it! Complete puzzles and challenges about rocks, stars and the river itself to thwart these destructive plans while enjoying the outdoors.

The Sacred Water Shared Future campaign is powered by you! The heart of this centennial celebration is the incredible variety of events planned and hosted by our partners — community groups, nonprofits, businesses, schools, and individuals who feel a connection to the Mississippi River.

We do not host events ourselves; instead, we serve as a central hub for river-focused activities happening across the Twin Cities throughout 2026.
