| Watson Adventures Scavenger Hunts January 26, 2008 "The Field of Screams Scavenger Hunt" (Public Scavenger Hunt) On our most surreal hunt in Chicago, you’ll get a whirlwind tour of this treasure chest of natural and cultural wonders, taking you from Ancient Egypt to the Pacific Islands, from the tundra to the forest, from Tibet to a lair of bats. You’ll search for answers to such questions as, “In Ancient Egypt, find ‘bowling pins’ with the head of a human, a jackal, a falcon and a baboon. They’re waiting for organ transplants—but which organ would they reject?” You’ll have to get inside the brains of dead pharoahs to come up with the answer. But no previous knowledge of the museum or its contents is necessary! A sense of humor and good teamwork will be more helpful than expertise. Prices, which include museum admission: Early-bird special, $24.50 per person, available until one week before the hunt; after that, $28 per person. Public Scavenger Hunt Teams of up to six people will tackle tricky, humorous questions about the objects and locations discovered. Don’t have a team? We’ll help you find kindred spirits at the start of the hunt. No knowledge of any hunt location is required—you just need a sharp mind and a good pair of shoes. More than 77,000 hunters served since 1999. Advance purchase is required for all hunts.
