You've probably heard of escape rooms where you are part of a group and together you have to solve puzzles to find your way out. There's one in Corpus Christi like no other in the world because this one is aboard the aircraft carrier U.S.S. Lexington.

It's called 'Lockdown on the Lex,' and it's based on actual history, during the Cuban Missle Crisis of 1962. The lockdown uses authentic parts from the ship in the escape room, which features historically accurate tools and effects to recreate the time period.

Admission to the escape room also gets you into the ship's museum, which, if you've never been, is really cool.  Here's some news reporting on the attraction.
