Murder at the Met Scavenger Hunt December 11, 2010

See your world with new eyes on a scavenger hunt. Teams of up to six people will tackle tricky, humorous questions about the objects and places discovered. Don't have a team? They'll help you find kindred spirits at the start of the hunt. No knowledge of any hunt location is required - you just need a sharp mind and a good pair of shoes. Fans of murder mysteries and 'The Da Vinci Code' will enjoy this scavenger hunt throughout the Metropolitan Museum of Art. A murdered curator has left behind a cryptic trail of clues connected with secrets in works of art. As your team gathers answers about the art, you begin to piece together a sordid tale about greed, lust, pride, revenge and treachery, all revolving around the museum's planned multi-million dollar purchase of a rare painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. The murder victim knew too much--and now it's your turn to learn what he knew and discover what drove one of four suspects to commit murder. To find out, you'll have to crack a secret code left in the victim's appointment calendar.
