The Brain Squeeze: A Trivia Scavenger Hunt

If a trivia quiz and a scavenger hunt had a baby…

…it would look a lot like this unusual game. Here’s how it works: each question challenges your team to answer a trivia question—about movies, music, history, sports, science, books, and more—and that answer becomes a crucial clue to answering a question about an object on display. If you like pub quizzes, you’ll love this hunt.

How might your knowledge come in handy?

• Recalling one of Lady Gaga’s hit songs could help you figure out what’s going on in a painting of a sneaky card game
• Remembering how many stars are in a famous dipper can help you locate a goddess getting a constellation prize
• Knowing the Freudian theory that Woody Allen said shouldn’t be applied just to women can help you spot the, um, shortcomings of a Roman statue

You can use your smartphone if you get stuck, but keep in mind that teams that get the answers faster will get more questions and score more points.
