NEW CLUES! NEW MURDER WEAPON!
Already cracked the clues at The Poisoners! Solve the murder if you dare… ? Well, they’ve changed! It’s the same cool exhibition, but now there’s a new murder weapon and a fresh set of curly clues. Are your detective skills sharp enough to uncover the killer again?
Anastasia ‘Nastie’ Van Abs, safari guide (and suspected poacher) was taken into custody on the evening of Wednesday 1 August for further questioning, thanks to tip-offs from members of the public. Toxicology reports have confirmed that cobra venom was present in Professor Felix Splicer’s bloodstream but only contributed in part to his death. Tests have begun to determine the other toxin that factored in the Professor’s untimely demise but the final report could be months away.
Kids, be the detective. But if you’ve already had a go, there are new twists to the twisted suspects with a new murder weapon and new curly clues. Are you up for figuring out who and what killed Professor Felix Splicer again?
Was it Ms Anastasia van Abs, safari guide (and suspected poacher), or Alain ‘Sharkbait’ Coasteau, marine biologist and Splicer’s so-called good friend? Has Ms Toxica Fay Tully, lonely widow and collector of poisonous plants, left damning evidence in her room? And why would Felix’s twin brother, Dr Helix Splicer, want to do away with him?
Kids, take a walk on the wild side … Check out the crime scene, peer through port-holes, open hatches, look inside cupboards to get a closer view of Te Papa’s killer creatures, poisonous plants, and weird and wonderful species while you solve the crime. Expect the unexpected in this interactive ‘murder-mystery’ exhibition.
