Consistently rated the best local scavenger hunt since 2016!

Puzzling Adventures are a cross between a scavenger hunt, an adventure race, and an informative self-guided walking tour. Each adventure consists of a series of locations that you are guided to where you are required to answer a question or solve a puzzle to receive your next instruction. Compete as a group, individually or create multiple teams and race each other. Almost all of our adventures are designed to be wheelchair and stroller friendly and all are carefully crafted to be entertaining and informative with something to appeal to all ages. Complete the adventure as quickly as possible to win first place or take your time and enjoy the journey. Price is per team, not per person. Groups can be any size, but small groups are recommended for the best experience.

The ARTx3 Campus will host a panel discussion in conjunction with the exhibition “Parking Lot Space: Artworks by Kenneth Reams,” touching on topics dealing with the arts, activism, and community outreach.

The panel is at 3 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 1, at the Arts & Science Center for Southeast Arkansas (ASC), 701 S. Main St. It features panelists from across Arkansas, as well as from New York and Colorado.

The exhibition, also opening Feb. 1, includes a collection of artwork created by incarcerated artist and Pine Bluff native Kenneth Reams, and developed and designed by ASC curator Kevin Haynie. A reception for the exhibition will follow at 5:30 p.m. There is no cost to attend and the events are open to the public.

“The ASC is extremely excited to have been able to develop this exhibition alongside the artist, as well as to be able to provide a platform for so many experienced professionals who deal with many of these issues daily and who can provide valuable insight to those interested in learning more,” Haynie said. “Kenneth’s work and commitment toward spreading the positive impacts of art, introspection, and critical lessons to others is both touching and enlightening for those who have the opportunity to experience it. We look forward to seeing our community engage with the art and join the conversation early next year.”

The panelists are:

● Tavante Calhoun, chief executive officer of the Boys and Girls Club of Jefferson County in Pine Bluff. Calhoun will moderate the panel.

● Nick Brown, program advisor for the Arkansas State Personnel Development Grant at the Office of Innovation. Brown previously taught high school communications, speech and debate, and science in both Arkansas and Louisiana.

● Saskia Keeley, an award-winning photojournalist, documentarian, peace activist, speaker, and creator of photography workshops that aim to bridge divides. She lives in New York.

● Kathy McGregor, founder and national project director of Prison Story Project, a storytelling project that benefits incarcerated women and men. She has been giving a voice to those silenced by prison through the healing art of story. She lives in Fayetteville.

● Ndume Olatushani, a Colorado man who spent 28 years incarcerated — 20 of which were on death row — for a crime he did not commit. It took him, his wife Anne-Marie, and his lawyer David Herrington 20 years to set him free. He’s been a free man since June 2012.

● Patrice Williams, theater instructor at Little Rock Central High School. She also led a 2024 summer camp at the ARTx3 Campus, focusing on the children’s book “Kenneth’s Big Choice,” written by Reams and his wife, Isabelle Reams.

Those planning to attend the panel are asked to RSVP. Reservations may be made at artx3.org/all-events/kenneth-reams-panel-reception or by calling 870-536-3375.

Before the Marvel Universe came calling, Robert Downey Jr. and Val Kilmer lit up the screen in Shane Black’s razor-sharp Kiss Kiss Bang Bang. Equal parts noir mystery, buddy comedy, and meta-Hollywood satire, this stylish cult favorite turns 20 this year—and it’s just as fast, funny, and twisted as ever. If you’ve never seen this one in a theater, you’re in for a wickedly clever ride.

Important Information:

Film Start Time: Doors open at 6:00pm, and the film will begin promptly at 7:00pm. As our films are general admission seating, please be sure to arrive early to secure your seat. Beer, wine, and concessions will be available.

Free Parking:

We’re pleased to offer complimentary parking for all attendees. Simply bring your parking ticket from the library parking lot (across from the Main Library on Rock Street) or the parking deck (next to the Main Library on Rock Street) inside the theater, and our friendly box office staff will validate it for you. Validations are for paid ticket holders only.

We look forward to welcoming you to an evening of timeless storytelling at the CALS Ron Robinson Theater!
