PoliciesPrice Match GuaranteeIf you find a similar event with a competitor at a lower price, we’ll gladly match it. This applies to events of comparable description and duration. Simply provide the details when booking, or within 72 hours of your booking, and we’ll ensure you get the best value. Contact an event concierge to get started. Cancellation PolicyBookings are non-refundable – but they may be transferred to another group prior to your scheduled event, subject to the requirements outlined below. If you need to change your date, please provide as much notice as possible — ideally at least one week. If you want to give your rebooking credit to another group, we will honor that. We ask that, if you need to rebook, you do so within one year of the original booking. Rebooking or Transfer Notice Requirements: If you request to postpone or transfer your event with fewer than 72 hours’ notice, a rebooking premium of $150 per 20 participants will apply, calculated proportionally (e.g., $225 for 30 participants, $300 for 40, etc.). A minimum fee of $150 will apply for groups smaller than 20 participants. Participants may be added to your booking at any time prior to the event. Additional charges will apply based on the current rate per participant, due before the event begins. We plan and staff our events based on the confirmed participant count provided in advance, so all final numbers must be established prior to the event. We do not conduct headcounts on-site or adjust the final cost based on actual attendance. Once an event has taken place, no portion of the booking is transferrable or eligible for future credit. Outdoor events may be moved indoors for any reason, including inclement weather, pending availability. We request at least 24 hours’ notice for any change of hunt selection. If a museum hunt is selected, museum admission is sold separately. In the event of a force majeure — such as a public transportation shutdown, city-wide emergency, or government-issued order advising people to stay home — your event will be rescheduled to a mutually agreed future date. |
Description
Its collection spans more than two million works and five thousand years of civilization, offering far more than most visitors see in one visit.
Our Metropolitan Museum of Art Scavenger Hunt takes teams through the museum's ancient and modern collections on an exhilarating, clue-driven journey that reveals the hidden stories, secret inscriptions, and surprising details that exist throughout the Met's celebrated halls. From Egyptian temples to Impressionist paintings, from medieval armor to Greek antiquities, every exhibit holds something waiting to be found by teams paying close enough attention.
Roam through the corridors of ancient civilizations, explore the mysteries embedded in the Temple of Dendur, decode medieval imagery, and study the hidden symbolism within some of the world's most famous paintings. With each clue solved, your team goes deeper into the museum's treasures.
In a race against time and rival teams, collaborate to:
- Uncover hidden carvings in the columns of the Temple of Dendur that most visitors walk past without noticing
- Decode ancient Greek inscriptions that reveal the identity of one of the museum's most famous mummies
- Explore the enigmatic worlds of Leonardo da Vinci and Claude Monet and the stories behind their most celebrated works
- And many more discoveries across the museum's remarkable collection
Armed with a set of clues and working as a team, you will navigate the museum's vast galleries using strategy, observation, and collaboration to solve puzzles and outsmart your competition. Keep your eyes open at all times, because clues could be hidden in any direction.
More than just a visit to the museum, our scavenger hunt is a genuinely thrilling and competitive team experience.
Booking is easy: select your date, time, and participant count, and we handle everything from there. Before the hunt, our team reaches out to your group leader to confirm all details and ensure a seamless experience.
On the day, we are at the designated starting point, ready to welcome your group, form teams, explain the rules, and launch the competition. Teams then move through the museum working together on clues and challenges, with our staff available throughout for support.
As the hunt concludes, teams gather for score tallying and winner announcements. Prizes await the winning team, and we remain available afterward to discuss the clues and celebrate the achievement together.
Join us for an unforgettable exploration of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where every clue is a key and every answer a doorway to another wonder.
