The Wizard School the Wizard School Scavenger Hunt at the National Gallery of Art
A couple of wizards at work on their clues
I dear discovering new ways to explore erstwhile favorites. Like many Washingtonians, we'd been to the National Gallery of Art endless times, but never on a scavenger chase, nor with Harry Potter as inspiration for a tour.
When I first learned almost Watson Adventures' Sorcerer School Scavenger Hunt, I was immediately intrigued. Not only does our crew love a good clue-driven search, we're as well large Harry Potter fans. Non to mention it takes place at a magnificent museum, where wandering through the galleries fifty-fifty without a purpose is fantastic.
Does one of these paintings reveal an answer?
This scavenger chase is likewise a competition, calculation a whole other fun and challenging element to the hazard. You lot sign up as a team, which can be a family/youth or all-adult, and compete against other groups. You're all on a mission to find fine art that echoes characters, places, and enchanted objects in the famed Harry Potter books and movies in search of answers to 24 questions. There are clever Harry Potter-themed clues to help you lot locate each one, but many of them are catchy to decipher and take some sleuthing and careful exam of the art to figure out!
Exploring the galleries armed with clues
Every team has the same questions, but ordered differently for each group to stay spread out, though we did run into other teams searching for the same art a couple of times. Y'all have 90 minutes to complete the hunt, which takes place throughout most of the West Wing of the NGA. And that hour and a one-half goes by quickly — nosotros were scrambling for those last few clues to finish earlier the hunt time was upwards!
The search covers a lot of museum ground
So excited to come across the guy they always sing about (My name is Alexander Hamilton…)
One signal is given for every question answered correctly. The squad that comes up with the most creative name also gets points. And you lose points if you lot're non dorsum to the starting place before the hunt time is up. The teams (one family unit/youth, one all-adult) that have the virtually points win.
Someone is feeling stumped
Waiting for the announcement of the winners
Every bit the Hogwarts crew might say, this adventure is bloody brilliant! It's unique, fun, and exciting, and something the whole family can do together. All four of us contributed to the effort, and while we didn't win, we had such a bully fourth dimension together completing the task. On top of that, we all agreed that information technology made usa take a much closer look at some of the fine art that nosotros ofttimes casually stroll by, something we'll continue in mind on our next visit.
