The Poisoners

WANTED: Inquiring minds to solve a mystery at Auckland Museum – who murdered the brilliant scientist Professor Felix Splicer and how did they do it?

One of our four suspects committed the crime and the weapon is among hundreds of objects from our own Natural History collection – from deadly hemlock to venomous sea snails. So was it Toxica Fay Tully the adventurer and collector of poisonous plants or marine biologist Alain ‘Sharkbait’ Coasteau? Maybe the killer is international wildlife poacher Anastasia Nastie Van Abs or Dr Helix Splicer, the twin brother of the late Professor? Just like real scientists, you’ll enter the crime scene and venture into the lair of each suspect. Then you must check out clues among hundreds of ‘killer’ creatures, poisonous plants and weird and wonderful species.

Curated by our Museum experts, this interactive murder-mystery experience transforms your kids into budding marine scientists and botanists. A killer treat for the whole family! Be first on the scene of the crime this summer.
