The Murder at the De Young Museum Scavenger Hunt

Can your team deduce whodunit?

A Watson Adventures staffer has been found dead in the de Young Museum, and we need your help to catch his killer.

All we have as evidence is the scavenger hunt he created at the museum for your group. We have reason to believe that there might be a hidden message in the hunt.

As you’ll discover, it turns out that the victim lived a dangerous double life. Can your team of sleuths piece together the puzzle he left behind in time to head off an international incident that could have catastrophic consequences?

Along the way, you’ll also uncover the most fascinating, the most surprising, and the funniest works of art in the museum, where many a surprising detail turns out to be part of a cryptic code. The fate of the free world may depend on your teamwork.

No previous knowledge about art or the museum is required: you just need sharp eyes and comfy shoes.

★★★★★ on Yelp: “We did the Murder at the de Young and absolutely loved it! The mystery was extensively detailed and well crafted—hard enough to be entertaining but not enough to be very frustrating….We cannot wait to do more and more of these events!”

“It was awesome! I’ve never done a scavenger hunt with the team (or general) and it was such a good time!” —the leader of a group from a social media company
