The Murder at the Art Museum
Scavenger Hunt

Would you kill to own a Leonardo?

A rising young curator has been found dead in the museum, and your team will have to catch his killer. The victim left behind a cryptic trail of clues connected with secrets in the works of art here. As you figure out what they mean, you’ll piece together the sordid tale that got him killed.

It all revolves around the museum’s upcoming purchase of a priceless painting by Leonardo da Vinci. The curator knew too much, and you’ll have to find out what he knew and which of the four suspects killed him.

Along the way, you’ll get a whirlwind tour of the Art Institute.

Your investigation might include…

• A pickpocket at a rooster fight
• A deadly threat from a tiny rifle
• A marching band suitable for the Planet of the Apes
• A warning to remain silent from a saint who literally holds his tongue.

No previous knowledge is necessary! You just need sharp eyes and comfy shoes. Good teamwork helps, too.
