Hands-on forensic science activities

There’s been a murder at the museum, and the investigating detective needs backup. During this immersive choose-your-own-adventure experience, conduct scientific experiments and question five very questionable suspects, each with a motive and something to hide.

Unlike your typical murder mystery, you won’t be assigned a role for this event. Dressing to the theme — like a dapper detective — is still encouraged, but the focus for the evening is the hands-on science you will need to employ in order to uncover clues to who the culprit is. Throughout the evening, you will have the opportunity to interact with suspects (our trained troupe of Science Live actors) to ascertain their relationships, timelines, motives, and secrets.

Help crack the case at this after-hours immersive mystery. No acting required, just bring your curiosity.

The fine print: Tickets include museum exploration and murder mystery experience. Additional food and beverages will be available for purchase.
