Program Overview:
The Excellent Scavenger Hunt challenges teams to accurately answer 15 spy–crafty questions as quickly as possible. Upon your group’s arrival, participants, who should already be assigned to a team, will test their spy knowledge with a speed–spy quiz which will determine who enters the Museum and begins the Hunt first. After completing the quiz, each team will be given the tools they need to complete the Hunt, including:
- Data retrieval sheet
- Map of the Museum's layout for navigation
- Cipher decoding wheel
- Developer marker
Teams will be given 1 to 1 ½ hours in the Museum to complete the Hunt: Once in the Museum, a spy–tingling covert operation requires revealing an invisible message, locating a concealment devise at a dead drop, and documenting the contents. As teams complete their mission, Museum staff will grade answer sheets for speed and accuracy to determine which team is on top. At the event's close, the MC will announce the results and prizes at your discretion.
