Quest at the Museum

Ever walked the halls of the Natural History Museum and thought “this place needs more riddles, dragons, and sword fights?” If so, you’re in the right place.

We created this game for my daughter’s 11th birthday. It was a lot of work-and fun! So we’ve chosen to make it available for anyone who wants to play.

It takes you around the museum, using the exhibits as encounter arenas. The dinosaurs are dragons. The stairs are the Cliffs of Insanity! You get it.

All you need to do is print the PDFs and follow the instructions. They contain all the riddles, maps, monster encounters, characters, weapons, spells, and magic items you need to spend a highly memorable day at the museum.


Looking at these images will ruin the surprise of the playing the game.


Download these PDFs, then follow the printing instructions at the end of the Dungeon Master Guide.
