The next Science After Hours at the Franklin Institute will have a theme based on the popular board game Clue.

Attendees will be given a sheet of clues when they enter the museum and must try to solve a murder mystery. Museum staff will also act as suspects and interact with guests to provide them with hints.

Bars will be scattered throughout for attendees to purchase beer, wine and cocktails while hunting for clues, taking science lessons and exploring the exhibits.
