GETTY CENTER
The Naked at the Getty Scavenger Hunt
Recommended by LA Weekly, UrbanDaddy, The Rundown, Los Angeles Nomad, Flavorpill
Go on a humorous, mind-tingling search for nudity at the amazing Getty Center. You don’t need to know anything about art or the museum—or nudity—to solve our tricky questions. Highlights include a sultry dog whisperer, slapstick with a lemon, an ancient game of Wife Swap, Toulouse-Lautrec’s “moodel,” Mischief’s bear hide, a Cupid who pulls a Mike Tyson move, a god who enjoys children (preferably with a bit of mustard) and more. After the hunt, linger in the mountaintop gardens for a great view of the sunset. This hunt is rated PG-13. Meeting place information
NEW! The Murder at the Getty Scavenger Hunt
Recommended by Flavorpill
A murdered curator has left behind a cryptic trail of clues connected with secrets in works at the Getty Center in Los Angeles. As your team gathers answers about the art, you begin to piece together a sordid tale about greed, lust, pride, revenge and treachery, all revolving around the museum’s planned multi-million-dollar purchase of a painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. The murder victim knew too much-and now it’s your turn to learn what he knew and discover what drove one of four suspects to commit murder. To find out, you’ll have to crack a secret code left in the victim’s appointment calendar. Can you figure out who dunnit? Be prepared for one of our most challenging hunts. Meeting place information

You’ll be surprised at how much history and fun is packed in just a few blocks along the boulevard of celluloid dreams. Meeting place information.

LOS ANGELES COUNTY MUSEUM OF ART
The LACMA Mania Scavenger Hunt
Recommended by Los Angeles Nomad
On our whirlwind tour of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, you don’t need to know anything about art or the museum to solve our devious, humorous questions. Few museums in California can match LACMA in diversity, and that’s never been more true now that the Broad Contemporary Art Museum has been added to the hunt. You’ll discover quirks and surprises in Old Master paintings, odd contemporary works, Latin American art, American masterpieces, exotic Asian gods, quirky Japanese netsuke and more. Highlights include fowl play, a sultry Psyche who could use a psychiatrist, Noah’s kitties, Hearst’s hopes, a saint with heartburn, a new use for skulls, a goddess who has gone too far with Slimfast and a “Fantasy Bust.” Meeting place information
