• A monstrous game of Clue — crack the case before the night is over.

• Spooky themed cocktails — sip your way through the science of mixology.

• Hands-on forensic science activities — test your detective skills with real techniques.

• Museum-wide exploration — enjoy all five floors of Pittsburgh’s most visited museum after hours, with no kids in sight.
