The dead man knew too much, and now it’s up to you to learn what drove one of four suspects to commit murder. Can you figure out whodunit?
What kinds of groups have cracked this case? All kinds, from corporate groups looking for a team-building activity to social groups searching for an unusual game to bring people together. And you don’t need to know anything about art to win: you just need quick wits and good teamwork.
What are players saying about the MFA murder mystery game?
A 5-star review on Yelp: “This was incredibly fun! My boyfriend and I did the Murder Mystery in the Museum of Fine Art. We followed directions to different rooms in the museum and used clues to find a specific pieces of art. The answer was usually obvious in the art or in the description. No prior art history knowledge needed! Each team was staggered so we weren’t all rushing to the same room at the same time….This scavenger hunt was easy and fun and made me read about the art much more than I would have normally….I had a great time and will look this company up next time I am in Boston.”

Happy Halloween!
Whether you want festive fun or a chance to show off your costume before you go party, a spooky Halloween scavenger hunt is a mummy-rable—sorry, memorable—adventure for all. You might have to discover weird new uses for food, dig up a skeleton, ward off a vampire, use your bodies to spell “BOO!,” do your best zombie impression, and more.
Teams fan out to tackle such challenges as…
Take unusual team photos
Get your creative juices flowing and your haunted side showing as you come up with clever ways to complete fun “photo op” challenges. Everyone has to get into the picture (except the ghoul holding the camera, of corpse).
They’re designed to give you room to have fun while also delivering dramatic visuals (not just shots of people standing around like a bunch of stiffs). You might have to do the Monster Mash in a crowded place. Or rise from the dead in a funny way. Or pretend to go trick-or-treating.
Participants use their own smartphone cameras and send the images to our photo-sharing site. You’ll get to see the other players’ pictures and download them afterward.
Find or create unusual items
You’ll also have to procure or concoct unusual items, often with a tricky twist. Can you find or draw a creature that represents your team spirit? How about a food menu featuring blood and bone? A haunting Halloween mask? Something inflatable with a terrifying message written on it? You’ll be shocked—and occasionally horrified—by the results that come from devilishly good teamwork.
Crack a code to decipher a mystery message
Your haunted hunt materials will include a bizarrely coded message. What the H-E Double Hockey Sticks does it say? To crack the creepy code, you’ll need to solve crafty, fun puzzles, possibly involving a few twisted trivia questions, an intriguing message from beyond the grave, a musical phone call, and other surprises. Can you piece together the key that unlocks the mystery message?
Locate the Hunt Host for a bone-tingling bonus challenge
At a dead-signated spot in the hunt area, the Host will be waiting to treat you to a tricky, icky visual puzzle. It’s a monstrous good time, and you’ll want to do your best if you hope to stay alive…to win the game, that is!
