If you’re a fan of the board game, “Clue,” then Howling Hills Corn Maze Adventures will be fun for the whole family to partake in this fall season.
In their second year of operation, the Jackson family of Allenport has transitioned eight of their 114-acre farm into a corn maze with the family board game theme. “The corn maze is designed to have multiple stations with clues to find out who kidnapped Farmer Joe,” said Kristy Jackson, whose parents, Timothy and Christine Jackson, own and operate the farm. “Once you find the clues in the maze, you will come up with the answers to solve the mystery as to whom the culprit is and make your way to the exit of the maze.”
