Navigation Tips

How Does It Work?

Due to COVID-19, many places we would normally visit in person are temporarily closed to visitors. In this virtual field trip, we will learn about the life of Phineas Banning by exploring the Banning Museum online and answering questions in our digital escape room. We will need to use two screens or tabs: one for the virtual tour and one for the directions and questions in our escape room.

How to Use Two Screens

A new tab or window should have opened when you clicked the Virtual Tour link.

You can either toggle back and forth between tabs, or you can use a split screen throughout this digital escape room adventure.

To create a split screen, watch this video all the way through for the best option for your device and browser.

VIRTUAL TOUR NAVIGATION TIPS

When you are in the Virtual Tour, be sure to watch the video first. Then you can click on the brown 360 degree icon to get inside the Banning Residence, or you can click Buildings drop down menu on the top banner.

Once you are inside, you can move from place to place by clicking on the white circles on the ground. You can also go directly to a room using the Rooms drop down menu.

Hold the cursor while you drag it to look around each location.

IMPORTANT: When you enter a room, read the information caption for clues.

Look for blue dots with the letter “i” to get information and a close-up view of a particular object.

Now click Home in the top banner of this page to get back, or click Digital Escape Start to start the game!
