The Global Adventures Scavenger Hunt

Go around the world in 90 minutes…

…on a fun, funny scavenger hunt that turns the Met into IHOP—the international house of paintings, that is. You’ll discover how cultural diversity has inspired artists and enhanced life around the world and across centuries as you explore galleries devoted to art from China, Japan, South America, Africa, Polynesia, India, the Middle East, and Europe. If there’s a continent we’ve left out, it’s only because penguins have not yet made their mark on the art world.

You don’t need to know anything about the gumbo of cultures you’ll taste: the game is a test of teamwork, not knowledge. This is a particularly great activity if you want to increase an appreciation of global diversity in any group. 

Perfect for international groups!

The clues and questions on the hunt were crafted with international participants in mind, so people who speak English as a second language will be able to play. With enough notice, we can also have the hunt translated into the language of your choice.
