The Sherlock Holmes at the Art Museum Scavenger Hunt

Inspired by a Sherlock Holmes story…

A rich businessman named Hilton Cubitt has been murdered in his home. His wife, Elsie, has also been shot and seriously wounded, but police suspect that she killed her husband and see her shooting as an attempted suicide.

The sleuths at Watson Adventures, however, doubt this theory. The scene of the crime included two unusual pieces of evidence: a sheet of strange, handwritten “dancing” stick figures and a crumpled-up scavenger hunt featuring works of art at the museum.

We need your help! Your assignment: do the scavenger hunt, decipher the meaning of the dancing figures, and figure out who murdered Hilton Cubitt. Elsie’s life hangs in the balance—and she’s depending on your group’s teamwork and detective skills to exonerate her.
