Back by popular demand, our classic ROM mystery scavenger hunt returns!
There has been a mysterious murder, and the museum's collections hold the key. As you gather clues, you’ll begin to piece together a tale of greed, lust, pride, and revenge. Working in teams, sleuths travel through the museum's galleries solving whodunnit, where, and with what. Will your team solve the mystery before the clock runs out?
Note: At least one player per team must bring a fully charged phone with our scavenger hunt app downloaded, but the more the merrier! Instructions are found on the booking page. Your on-site hosts will provide you with your game code and further sign-in instructions upon arrival.
This hunt is a product of Urban Capers Scavenger Hunts, and any questions relating to the product, location, etc. should be directed to Urban Capers at info@urbancapers.com. We’re happy to help!

Additional time info:
Please arrive at the museum 10 minutes prior to your game time to get signed in, use the facilities and receive your scavenger hunt app game codes before the orientation begins. Your Urban Capers hosts will be there early to greet you!
Your host will get everyone set up and then provide an orientation. You'll then have a two-hour game experience, racing the clock. You'll finish with the grand finale; your host will present the conclusion, give all-star shout-outs, and announce the winning team!
Players are welcome to continue exploring the museum once the hunt is complete. (ROM is open until 5:30pm on weekends.)
