The Secrets of the
Philadelphia Museum of Art
Scavenger Hunt

Discover the weird and wacky side of art…

…on a whirlwind tour of the best—and strangest—art in this amazing museum. Decipher clues and answer tricky, humorous questions as you travel across time and continents. You’ll explore such destinations as a French monastery, a Chinese palace, an Indian Temple, a Pennsylvania Dutch kitchen, a Japanese village, a medieval knight’s tomb, and the palatial rooms of European nobles, to name a few of the highlights.

Along the way, you might search for…

• A Dutch master doing something fishy in one of his own scenes
• A mule that might cry, “Hey, no smoking back there!”
• A sweet drink with a rotten ingredient
• A colonial version of a dribble glass
• A dragon with horrendous halitosis

But no knowledge of art or the museum is required to enjoy the hijinks and perhaps even win: you just need sharp eyes and comfy shoes.

Countless corporate groups have enjoyed this hunt as a team-building activity since we first offered it in 2004.

Also available: The Kids Edition has been recommended by GoCityKids.com. Suitable for ages 7 and up, this game is popular with all kinds of groups, from teachers leading school field trips to parents looking for an unusual birthday-party activity.

What people are saying about the Philadelphia Museum scavenger hunt

“The Team Building Scavenger Hunt was a delightful experience—it was not only educational but also entertaining. The hunt wasn’t just about racing against time or wining a prize, but it was collaborative and fun. The teams mingled, shared insightful ideas and laughter as we solved riddles and pieced together the artworks’ hidden stories. Our CEO said he felt like Tom Hanks in the Da Vinci Code movie. It is one of the best team building experiences that we’ve had in a long time” —a financial company
