Something truly sinister has taken root in Jacksonville’s Chinatown. A mysterious murder has occurred in a forgotten back alley, yet the police remain tight-lipped, and no suspects have been detained. What initially seemed like a tragically common act of violence in this part of town has begun to feel… different. An unnatural darkness now looms over the entire city, a chilling shadow that hints at something far more profound than a simple crime.
As you and your friends stumble upon the unsettling crime scene, you discover intriguing clues that seem to have been deliberately overlooked by authorities. Was this victim more than just a random target? Was the official investigation cut short for a reason no one dares to speak? And could there be a spectral guide in this very alleyway, pulling your team deeper down a rabbit hole from beyond the grave?
This isn’t just another escape room in Jacksonville Beach; it’s a chilling escape game that challenges your keen observation, sharp problem-solving skills, and seamless teamwork. At Mind Bender Escape Rooms Jacksonville, we dare you to step into this enigmatic narrative. Can your team solve the complex mystery in Chinatown, piece together the overlooked evidence, and uncover the truth before the clock strikes midnight and darkness fully consumes the city? This is one of the most immersive things to do in Jacksonville Beach for those who crave a truly intriguing adventure!

Walking 500 miles across Spain! Begin in France and walk appx 35 days carrying just a backpack filled with the essentials. A walk of a lifetime!

The Camino de Santiago or the Way of St. James is a spiritual journey that pilgrims of all faiths and backgrounds have traversed for over a thousand years. The pilgrimage originally began at one’s doorstep, though modern trekkers today would find that rather difficult, particularly American pilgrims needing to cross the Atlantic. While there are a number of established routes leading to Santiago from all directions, the most popular is the Camino Frances, which crosses the Pyrenees Mountains along the Spanish-French border starting in St. Jean Pied de Port.

This Camino route covers 800 kilometers that traverses an idyllic northern Spanish countryside. By following the yellow painted arrows marking the road, a pilgrim can expect to walk 12-15 miles a day to reach the next town for the night. At this pace, a pilgrim can reach the Cathedral de Santiago in 6 to 8 weeks time to attend the Pilgrim's Mass held at noon each day. Some take more time, others less. Some choose to travel by bike, and some have done the Camino on horseback. Along the way travelers encounter albergues, refugios and casa rurals that cater specifically to the thousands of pilgrims of all ages that take this journey each year, immersing themselves in the local food, culture and history dedicated to this experience.

To be considered a Pilgrim you must walk at least the last 100 km...but to do it right walk all 790!

This is so you can start planning now. I walked this in 2016 and will be going back in 2025. I spent appx $3000.00 but you can spend more or less depending on how you want to do this.

Watch the movie "The Way" with Martin Sheen to see what it is all about.
