Winter Scavenger Hunts
You won’t be collecting objects (drop that snowball!)—you’ll be searching for answers to tricky,
humorous questions. Bring a team of up to six people or tell us if you’d like us to help you join kindred spirits.
Featured Hunts
Saturday, January 14 To uncover the secrets of
the great outdoors, you have to head indoors at the Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum. Go for a natural walk on the wild side as you hunt among a profusion of live
butterflies, take a twisted tour of a cartoon-world home, solve the Mysteries of the
Marsh by tracking black widow spiders, water scorpions and snakes to their lairs, and much more. Learn more and buy tickets
Saturday, March 10
You’d never suspect the Museum of Science & Industry contained so many amazing, crazy and amusing sights and facts,
revealed on this madcap tour. If you like surprising variety, this is the hunt for you: you’ll explore an actual Nazi submarine for an
“inflatable woman,” scan the globe at night, inspect vintage race cars, find the missing piece in the world's largest “flipper
machine,” see a famed werewolf turn into the “Atomic
Man,” uncover a mad scientist’s “worm lozenge,” learn the secret behind live frogs’ “glow in the
dark” eyes, play Gulliver beside the Loop’s mini canyons in an enormous train set, ponder a pay raise for circus employee Jolly Marge, and
check out some hot chicks (in a hatchery, of course). Learn More and Buy
Tickets

A curator has been murdered and left a trail of clues connected with secrets in works of art at the Art Institute of Chicago. As your
team gathers answers about the art, you begin to piece together a sordid tale about greed, lust, pride, revenge and treachery. The murder victim knew too
much—and now it’s up to you to discover what drove one of four suspects to commit murder. To find out, you’ll have to crack a
secret code left in the victim’s
appointment calendar. Can you figure out who dunnit? Learn more and buy
