About Mystery at the Museums

Your Mission in the Museum

Imagine a huge museum where amazing treasures are kept! In Mystery at the Museums, your big mission is to find all the special items that have gone missing from the famous Smithsonian Museum. You have to find them before a very important inspector arrives at 10:00 AM the next morning. It's a race against time!

Puzzles and Artifacts

The missing items are hidden all over the different Smithsonian museums. To get them back, you need to visit each museum. Inside, you'll find fun puzzles to solve. These puzzles are like popular brain teasers you might already know, but they have a cool museum twist! For example, you might solve puzzles similar to sliding puzzles or even Tetris. As you solve them, you'll also learn interesting facts about the museums and their collections.

When you solve a puzzle correctly, the game will show you if you found one of the missing items. If you did, you'll go back to the curator's office (the person who takes care of the museum's collections), and Edison will tell them about your discovery. If there's no item there, you'll return to the map. Then you can choose another museum area to explore.

The Big Secret!

Once you've found all the missing items, there's one last challenge. You'll need to complete a maze. This maze isn't just for fun; it helps you uncover the big secret behind why all the items went missing in the first place! Can you solve the mystery and save the museum?
