Family-friendly, escape-room-inspired mystery for ages 6 and up, with puzzles, riddles, ghoulish games and spooktacular music in the museum's darkened galleries.
Twilight Tales: Strange Encounters runs at the Indiana State Museum on Wednesday, October 21 and Friday, October 23, from 7 PM to 8:30 PM. It's part of the museum's Spooky Season, which runs from September 25 through October 31.
It's a family-friendly, escape-room-inspired mystery for ages 6 and up. You wander through the museum's darkened galleries to solve puzzles and riddles, play ghoulish games, and listen to spooktacular music. They encourage you to come in costume, and they provide the flashlights, so you don't have to bring your own.
The museum is in White River State Park in Downtown Indianapolis, and it describes itself as the place to explore Indiana's past, present, and future—everything from mastodons and dire wolves to contemporary art by some of the state's best artists. If you're looking for other things to do during Spooky Season, there are Messy Mondays, which are hands-on projects for ages 2 to 5, and Twilight Tales: Beyond the Grave, a spooky night in the dark for ages 18 and over.
