The Doctor needs your help! Work your way through the puzzles in this virtual escape room so you can find your way back to the TARDIS.

CLICK HERE to tackle a Doctor Who Escape Room created by the Tehachapi Branch Library in Tehachapi, California.

(Hint: You'll need to use the Tehachapi Branch Library's catalog, *not* Gail Borden's catalog, to solve some of the puzzles. Be sure to use the link they provide to their webpage!)

When you've successfully completed all of the escape room's puzzles and challenges, take a screenshot of the final page. Send your screenshot to zone@gailborden.info along with your name, your grade in school, and a phone number Gail Borden can use to contact you. When we receive your information, you'll be entered to win a $20 Target gift card!

The winner's name will be drawn on December 15. You may send in an entry for each digital escape room you complete, so check Gail Borden's November-December calendar of events to make sure you've conquered them all.

Questions? Comments? Desperate requests for hints? Let us know your thoughts by emailing zone@gailborden.info. Good luck!
