Museum Scavenger Hunts in Cleveland

You’ve been poisoned!

Sorry to be the bearer of that bad news, but don’t panic: you can find the cure by playing this scavenger hunt. The evil genius who dosed you has created a series of puzzles that will reveal the combination to a box that contains the antidote. Sure, you can escape a room, but can you unlock the box and escape the museum with your life?

On teams, you’ll follow the villain’s diabolical trail of clues through the Great Lakes Science Center, searching for secrets in the galleries and exhibits. You’ll tackle devilishly tricky questions about what you find, interact with our staff to solve sneaky puzzles, and ultimately crack a code.

Plus you’ll interact with the science exhibits for creative Team Photo Challenges!

No knowledge of the museum is required: you just need sharp eyes, comfy shoes, and excellent teamwork.

This is a great game for all kinds of groups—especially ones too large for conventional escape-room games. What makes this particularly perfect for mixed groups is that if you have participants who don’t care much for puzzles, they’ll still be delighted by what we help them discover in this fascinating museum. A Kids Edition is also available.

Uncover the Cleveland Museum of Art’s most startling secrets…

…on a hilarious, history-packed tour that will get your group to bond, laugh, and have more fun in a museum than you ever thought possible. You’ll see the best of the museum by following clues through the galleries and collaborating with your team to answer tricky, humorous questions about the surprises in works ranging from ancient Greece to modern America. But you don’t need to know anything about art or the museum to win: you just need sharp eyes and comfy shoes.

Your team might tackle such questions as…

• In galleries of art from the Americas, find a well-fed pet that might have said, “¡Yo quiero Taco Bell!” He was very good at obeying the command to “stay!” for centuries. For the living, what did he serve as? Answer: A sculpture of a dog from a tomb represented a source of food. Man’ best friend indeed!

• Walk like an Egyptian and find a box that would let you call a mummy “four eyes.” Talk about a tomb with a view: What does the magical pair help him view each day? Answer: An ancient coffin has eyes painted on the outside so the mummy of Senbi could see the rising son.

• Find an animal that might be thinking, “I just gotta get this monkey off my back…” What factory put him in this predicament? Answer: A perplexed pooch with a monkey on his back was made by the Mennecy Porcelain Factory.

You might also seek answers to quirky questions about actual scratches from someone who attacked evil in a painting;  a gilded container for an apostle’s arm; an 18th-century man who seems to invented 3D glasses; a Rodin sculpture that caused a scandal; a scheming monkey that dupes a hungry cat; and more.

Those are just a few of the unusual highlights on this adventure across centuries and continents. Contact us to learn more—and find more fun in Cleveland!
