A murder mystery at the history museum?
" Someone, or something, has been bumping off museum staffers involved in
acquiring an ancient Aztec relic. Is it the dreaded Curse of Itlkilyu?
Or is a serial killer on the loose? Your team of sleuths will have to
crack a hieroglyphic code and uncover the museum’s secrets to stop the
killings. For murder hunts, we strongly recommend hunting with a team of
three or more. If you sign up with fewer than three people, we suggest
pairing up with others at the start of the hunt to form a larger team."
