Course in the Main Library: “The Professor’s Curse: A Library Escape Game“ on 3rd June 2025, 10 am

„The Professor’s Curse: A Library Escape Game“ is Bayreuth University Library’s first escape game, designed for students of the Humanities (Language Studies, Literature Studies, Cultural Studies, etc.) upwards from the second semester who already know the basics of library usage but want to test out and expand their knowledge in a practical way and enjoy hunting for clues during an escape game.

Participants will expand their knowledge on literature research using the library catalogue as well as a database, get better at finding their way through the Main Library, learn about different document types and services of the library like interlibrary loan - and much more. Enter the cursed library, search for clues and, if you are good enough, lift the professor’s curse!

For this escape game, registration is mandatory via the elearning platform Moodle. The game takes about 90 minutes. Grab a friend and register now! We look forward to your participation.
