Scavenger Hunts at
the Harvard Art Museums

Two Great Scavenger Hunts, Three Amazing Museums in One

Discover the startling, the secret, the scandalous, and the hilarious side of art on a team-building scavenger hunt through the Harvard Art Museums. On teams, you will follow a trail of clues from gallery to gallery, as you search for answers to tricky questions about the most surprising works of art. No knowledge of art is required: you just need sharp eyes and comfy shoes—and excellent teamwork.

Your team’s quest might include…

• a fisherman who caught a mermaid
• the end of the first echo
• a muscle man getting a deadly haircut
• a woman named Dawn who apparently never sees the sun set
• a Civil War battle of “pitching quoits”
• Alexander the Great with a case of Saturday Night Fever

…and much more.

This 90-minute team-building adventure will take you back through centuries and across continents. The questions are designed to bring out the various skills of the team members, so everyone gets a chance to be the star—and appreciate each other.

The game is also available in an International Edition, for players whose first language isn’t English. But wait, there’s another hunt afoot…

The Murder Mystery at the Museum Edition

Care to solve a crime while pondering art? You and your teammates can make like Sherlock Holmes on this game in the galleries, where the host for your scavenger hunt has been found dead.

The only way to discover the identity of the killer is to do his hunt and uncover the clues and codes he embedded there. The solution could reveal international intrigue requiring you to do no less than to save the world. Are you up for it?
