The Twisted Science Museum Scavenger Hunt

So much fun, it defies the laws of physics!

You might never suspect that the Museum of Science + Industry contains so many crazy, amazing, and amusing sights and facts. But that’s exactly what this madcap tour reveals as you follow clever clues and answer tricky, humorous questions. If you like surprises and variety, this is the hunt for you.

On teams, you might be challenged to…

  • Search an actual Nazi submarine for an “inflatable woman”
  • Inspect vintage race cars
  • Find the missing piece in the world’s largest “flipper machine”
  • See a famed werewolf turn into the Atomic Man
  • Uncover a mad scientist’s “worm lozenge”
  • Learn the secret behind frogs’ glow-in-the-dark eyes
  • Play Gulliver beside the Loop’s mini canyons in an enormous train set
  • Check out some hot chicks—in a hatchery, of course

And that’s just a small sampling from the museum’s scientific smorgasbord. To win, you don’t need to be a rocket scientist—or have any prior knowledge about the museum or its scientific marvels—but a set of sharp eyes and great teamwork could make you feel like Einstein.
