"There’s really nothing else like it," says Tammy Gatewood, general manager. "A simple trip to the mall can transport you to magical, immersive worlds–almost like being in your own adventure movie. Every portal is a challenge that will make you laugh and learn."
The Main Event: Battle of the Teachers
During the grand opening, energy will crank up to warp speed with the highly anticipated "2025 PWC Battle of the Teachers" kicking off at 6 p.m. Local educators will form teams of three to five players and face off in a gauntlet of mind-bending puzzles, daring physical feats, and lightning-fast teamwork. Think castle climbing, code cracking, laser dodging, lava crossing, tunnel finding, music playing, and more! The ultimate reward? District-wide bragging rights as the most skillful, time-traveling problem solvers.
Be on hand at 12 p.m. for a special kickoff event featuring local educators, officials, and organizations, including SPARK and Prince William County Department of Economic Development & Tourism (PWCDEDT).
“Attractions like this enhance our quality of life, create new gathering spaces, and make Prince William County an even more exciting destination to live, work, and play,” said Christina Winn, executive director, PWCDEDT. “We’re thrilled to see immersive experiences like Time Mission as more than just an entertainment venue—it’s a game-changer for Manassas Mall and the broader community.”
