Solve the mystery at the Family Scavenger Hunt at the Met

Sherlock Holmes, beware — super sleuths are on a Family Scavenger Hunt at the Metropolitan Museum of Art on Sept. 8.

Join Watson Adventures on a murder mystery scavenger hunt for kids aged 10 and up.

A crazed killer is on the loose and it’s up to you to stop him. The killer has created a scavenger hunt that, when completed, reveals his name, the weapon he used, and where he hid the body in the museum. The police need your help. You’ll get a list of suspects, weapons, and hiding places that are all items in the museum. By following the trail of clues and answering tricky questions, you’ll narrow the list of suspects, weapons and places, and provide the police with the evidence they need to catch and convict the killer. Can you figure out whodunit?

No knowledge of the museum or art is necessary, but good reading skills are helpful. Kids must be accompanied by an adult.

Family Scavanger Hunt at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, Sept. 8 from 10:30 am to 12:30 pm. Tickets are $31–$42 and include admission to the museum. Advance purchase and registration is required.
