New escape room helps customers relive Teton Dam disaster 45 years after it happened

REXBURG – Floodwaters are rushing your way and will engulf you and your town in 25 minutes unless you can solve the clue to prevent it from happening.

That’s the premise of the Teton Dam Evacuation Escape room, which opened in Rexburg Saturday on the 45th anniversary of the Teton Dam flood.

Staff members at the Musem of Rexburg created the experience, which is designed to help people relive what happened that day while having fun at the same time.


“An accountant working on the Teton Dam project got to work on June 5, 1976. He was told there were some leaks and that he had to evacuate all of the towns below him and then get out himself. That is what our escape room is based on,” Museum Curator Ashley Tietjen tells EastIdahoNews.com.
