As we kick off the start of summer here in Western New York, we know that everyone’s looking for the newest and most exciting things to do throughout the region. And if you’re a fan of escape rooms, geocaching, or The Amazing Race, we’ve got the perfect event for you.
Introducing: The Enchanted Mountain Challenge. Described as a mix between an outdoor escape room and geocaching, this first of its kind event is designed to lead visitors throughout the towns of Ellicottville and Franklinville to solve a fictional mystery that’s based on the true history of the region.

Sound like something you want in on? Team up with friends and get ready to bring your A-game, because this 1-2 day challenge is designed to put your mind and body to the test.
Whether you decide to complete the challenge solo or on a team, you’ll discover history that’s hidden in plain sight as you visit local establishments, hike some state forest trails, and visit monuments to collect clues and crack codes that will ultimately lead to solving a mystery.
What’s even more exciting? Everyone who completes the challenge will be entered into a drawing for a cash prize, as well as prize packs from local sponsors!
The Enchanted Mountain Challenge kicks off Memorial Day Weekend and runs throughout the entirety of the summer, so the time to start getting ready is now! Here’s everything you need to know before you get started:
Date & Time: The Challenge runs from May 28 through September 5, and is meant to take 1-2 days to complete. (If you can crack the codes!)
Two Difficulty Levels: Junior Challenge (recommended for families & children ages 1-16) or Adult Challenge (ages 17+)
When to Start: Any time during normal business hours, seven days a week.
Pacing: The Challenge is completed at your own pace. If you do not finish it, or only have a few hours to start, you can come back at any time throughout the summer and pick up where you left off.
Teams: You can do the challenge solo, or you can complete it as a team. Extra brainpower is definitely recommended, and the challenge is designed to be a fun, social event!
Some of the proceeds from the challenge will go towards the cash prize, as well as towards a donation to three local historical societies.
