Another Murder at the Getty! The Deadly Nudes Scavenger Hunt
A museum murder mystery based on a Sherlock Holmes story
Your team of detectives will be challenged to solve a murder mystery at the Getty Center on this scavenger hunt. Wealthy businessman William Cates has been found shot dead in his Beverly Hills home. Next to his body lay his wife, Janet, unconscious and seriously wounded. Police plan to charge Janet with murder and currently see her shooting as a failed suicide attempt.
A week earlier, Cates sought the help of the Watson Adventures code-breaking experts. Janet had received emails containing images of dancing stick figures. They seemed to cause her great distress, but she insisted that they were meaningless.
The crime scene included a crumpled copy of a scavenger hunt involving nudes at the Getty Museum, where Janet works. We believe that the scavenger hunt is somehow linked with the dancing-figure emails. Will these messages prove that Janet is innocent?
Who murdered William Cates? What is the secret of the dancing nudes? We need your help! See if your team of sleuths can figure out who dunnit by following a trail of clues through works of art at the museum and answering devilishly tricky questions about them. A woman’s life hangs in the balance—and you may be her only hope.
No knowledge of art or the museum is necessary to crack the case. You just need sharp eyes, comfy shoes, and great teamwork. It’s elementary, my dear…well, you know. Click on the button below to join the hunt—and find more fun in L.A.!
