FAQs
GooseChase is an interactive mobile app that turns the Museum into an adventure zone through scavenger‑hunt‑style missions. Players use their smartphone or tablet to complete challenges, submit photos or videos, solve puzzles, track progress on a live leaderboard, and explore their surroundings in fun, creative ways.
Just download the free app, enter your adventure code, and let the chase begin!
A team and the GooseChase app!
Teams should be 2-6 people each and one mobile device with the GooseChase app is required per team.
Adventures run through the GooseChase mobile app, which is free on both iOS and Android. You’ll receive a game code after booking. iOS 14.0+ or Android 9.0+ are required.
I don’t have a device that can run it, can I still play?

Most adventures take 45–90 minutes, depending on the storyline and your team’s pace.
