The Murder at the Franklin Institute Scavenger Hunt

Team building can be a dangerous game

Or at least it was for the Watson Adventures hunt host who was scheduled to lead your team-building scavenger hunt at the Franklin Institute. He was found dead at the foot of the giant Ben Franklin statue, and the only evidence that remains is the game he created for your group—and some mysterious documents we received when we tried to e-mail his sister.

Police need your help. They think that the game might contain clues that reveal the victim’s secret life. On teams, you’ll need to follow clues to visit exhibits in the museum and answer tricky questions about what you find. You must figure out how they relate to a mysterious list of code words that seem to indicate that our hunt host was in danger—and perhaps you are too.

Highlights include the new Body Odyssey, Wondrous Space, and Hamilton Collections galleries.

You’ll need good teamwork and a bit of cunning to save yourselves—and maybe even the world. Are you up for the challenge? The game’s afoot!
