Escape the Science Museum Scavenger Hunt

You’ve been poisoned!

Sorry for the bad news, but don’t panic: you can find the cure by playing this scavenger hunt. The evil genius who dosed you at the start of this game 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 Science Museum of Virginia in Richmond, 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.

No knowledge of the museum or science 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.

An edition for kids and adults to do together is also available.
