Welcome to the Lititz Public Library's Digital Quest.  Solve the riddles and puzzles to discover the legend of the Heartstone and save your village.

This digital quest is designed for middle school ages and older but can be enjoyed by younger children if you work on it as a group.  There are hints to help you along the way.  If your get stuck put in an answer and you will get a hint.  If you need more help, you can send questions to us on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/lititzlibrary).

This quest was created by Lititz Public Library staff members: Cathy Lenhart, Staci DuBosq and Shannon Richard. Along with this digital quest, the Lititz Public Library has a lot of other great digital programs for kids and families to enjoy.

We would like to thank Sydney Krawiec, Youth Services at Peters Township Public Library in McMurray, PA. for her inspiration and helpful webinar on creating digital escape rooms.  Sydney Krawiec is the creator of the fabulous Harry Potter Digital Escape Room. If you haven't tried it yet, we really recommend it.
