Someone, or some thing, has been bumping off museum staffers involved in the recent discovery of a long-lost invention by Benjamin Franklin which was supposedly used as part of a secret ritual. Are the deaths caused by the invention, or part of the fabled “Curse of the Freemasons”? Or is a serial killer on the loose? Your team of sleuths will have to crack a secret code and uncover the museum’s secrets to solve the mystery and stop the killings.

A murdered curator has left behind a cryptic trail of clues connected with secrets in works of art. As your team gathers answers about the art, you begin to piece together a sordid tale about greed, lust, pride, revenge and treachery, all revolving around the museum’s planned multimillion-dollar purchase of painting by Leonardo da Vinci. The murder victim knew too much—and now it’s up to you to crack a secret code and figure out who dunnit. Be prepared for our most challenging hunt. We recommend hunting with a team of three or more.
