There’s a mystery at the Science Museum of Virginia, and it needs help from local sleuths to solve it.
Science on Tap: Mystery at the Museum is a nighttime event that is putting true crime junkies and citizen detectives to the test on Friday, Feb. 21 from 6 to 10 p.m. They will be tasked with finding clues, solving puzzles, listening to riddles, and watching live demonstrations to piece together the full story before the night ends.
That endeavor may take awhile, so food trucks (Big Wife’s Mac and Cheese, Shakedown Eats, and Funnel Cake Recess) + bars will be on site to keep you fueled up. There will also be concession stands for candy, popcorn, and soda. However, no kids are allowed at this mystery, so Scrappy Doo will have to stay at home.
Feeling festive? Throw on your best detective outfit as this night doubles as a costume party.
