The New York History Mysteries Scavenger Hunt
Time-travel to New York City’s past…
…by going on this whirlwind tour of the New-York Historical Society. It’s like the city’s attic of treasures. Your team will follow a trail of clues through the beautifully remodeled Luce Center, the Center for Women’s History, and an array of ever-changing special exhibits, as you search for answers to tricky, humorous questions about the cool things you discover.
The New-York Historical Society has asked us to stage this game for the general public more than 11 times since 2017. We always get a great turnout and an enthusiastic response. Keep your eyes on the NYHS website to find out when we will next team up with the museum!
But maybe you have a corporate group that needs a fun, stimulating, brain-scratching, team bonding activity right now. Good news: You can book this scavenger hunt for private groups almost anytime!
On the scavenger hunt you might search for such items as…
- Tremendous timepieces with timeless appeal
- An authentic replica of the Oval Office
- Antique windup toys and trains
- An instigating object in the Civil War Draft Riots
- A panic on Wall Street between bulls and bears
No knowledge of the museum or New York history is needed: you just need sharp eyes and comfy shoes.
Special edition for kids and school groups
A Kids Edition for kids and adults to play together is also available for ages 7 and up. It’s a great way to introduce children to New York history and to the museum while having fun. If you’re bringing a school group to the museum for a field trip, the History Mysteries Scavenger Hunt for Kids helps teachers introduce explore the entire museum while entertaining the chaperones as much as the young hunters.
