The Murder at the Museum of American History Scavenger Hunt

National Museum of American History

2.5 Hours | A Curator has been Murdered!

Can you Deduce Who Dunnit?

Someone—or some thing—has been bumping off staffers at the National Museum of American History who were involved in the discovery of a long-lost invention by Benjamin Franklin. This “infernal machine” has a murky past: Freemasons supposedly used it as part of a secret ritual. Were the deaths caused by the invention? Is the fabled Curse of the Freemasons real? Or is there a serial killer on the loose?

Your team of sleuths will have to crack a code and uncover the museum’s secrets to solve the mystery and stop the killings.
