Mystery at the Museum
Throughout October, the festivities feature a self-guided mystery activity that invites visitors of all ages to crack the code and recover a missing artifact. Inspired by the classic board game Clue, this whodunit challenge will lead participants through the museum to gather clues. When you step into the museum, it will feel like an old, dilapidated manor, creating an immersive experience that transports you from a museum to a mansion! The self-guided mystery can be completed in as little as half an hour, depending on the investigators, and is available during the museum and archives’ winter hours from October 2 to 31, with admission by donation. To ensure inclusivity, the museum has set aside sensory-friendly times every Saturday morning from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., where lighting and sound effects will be limited to support those with sensory sensitivities.
When: October 2-31st, 2024
Where: Strathcona County Museum & Archives 913 Ash St. Sherwood Park, AB
