USA Today: Watson Adventures Museum Games Lure Would-Be Sleuths

In a massive media hit, the Associated Press tagged along on our Murder at the Met Scavenger Hunt for a story about our murder mystery hunts across the United States. USA Today, among about 200 media outlets, ran the story. “The hunt involving the murdered curator is tailored to a museum’s collection,” the story reported, “and also is offered at The Museum of Fine Arts in Boston, The Art Institute of Chicago, The Getty Center in Los Angeles, The Philadelphia Museum of Art and The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.”

Hunters also got to chime in: “I really like the level of difficulty,” said Matt Fuhrman, 22, a college graduate from Columbus, Ohio. “I read the Da Vinci Code and all the Dan Brown books. It was very much like the books.” Learn more about our Murder Mystery Scavenger Hunts for private groups or contact us. We also offer murder mystery public hunts in seven cities. Hurry before the trail grows cold!

CBS Commissions an ‘Elementary’ Adventure

Outthink a twisted criminal on a scavenger hunt? It’s Elementary! On Saturday, September 22, you can join a handful of carefully-picked sleuths whose mission will be to catch a madman on the loose in New York City. A criminal previously captured by the NYPD’s new consultant, Sherlock Holmes, has escaped from prison and has created a devious scavenger hunt to taunt Sherlock and the police.

Fans of Sherlock Holmes who can’t wait for the debut of CBS’ new fall series Elementary can enjoy the thrill of the chase by joining this scavenger hunt around lower Manhattan, commissioned by CBS to promote the new series. Can you solve the clues? You’ll have to be good at observation and deduction, and just as certifiable and bloody brilliant as Sherlock. The winning sleuths will receive an exclusive visit to the Elementary set! The game is created by Watson Adventures…of course.

The hunt is free! But space is limited. Learn more and make your reservation. The hunt’s afoot!

Girl Scouts Can Turn Cookie Sales into Hunts

We were so busy eating Do-Si-Dos that we didn’t realize we were helping dedicated Girl Scouts go on scavenger hunts. But in the Greater New York area, scouts who sell more than 750 boxes can choose a $100 gift certificate to our hunts as a reward.
