I'm also interested in this, please reply to the list. We are working on an extended scavenger hunt that would include 14 area museums and the public library's summer reading program. The reading program will focus on the environment, so each museum will provide a scavenger hunt question related to that topic.AnnUO Museum of Natural and Cultural HistoryEugene, OR========================================================= Important Subscriber Information:

Hi all,
I'm wondering if any museums out there have successfully used gamesfor museum publicity and/or to increase attendance? I'm looking forsomething beyond the stereotypical treasure hunt through the museum ormurder mystery night but more along the lines of Alternate RealityGames (ARGs), extended treaure hunts over a period of time (like comeback each week for a new clue) or other types of games.
If your museum has done such a thing or if you have taken part in agame, I'd be interested in knowing about it. (Probably off-list unlessothers are interested.)
Here's an article on ARGs for those of you who aren't familiar with
Thanks in advance!!
