AIEEE (Alien Interplanetary Expedition Expert Explorers) is distributed scavenger hunt where teams of visitors must talk to each other to win. Players take on the role of alien explorers on a mission to Earth to study humans, and may also interact with museum staff who are also in character.

• How it Works

  Using an app, players are guided through a scavenger hunt and must input the "coordinates" of various artworks to reset the routers and return home. Each team has various restrictions placed on how they communicate with each other, limiting their ability to find the answers to certain puzzles. Thus, collaboration between teams is necessary for successful completion of the game.

• What You Need

  • Players will need one mobile device per group

  • Reliable in-gallery connectivity (WiFi or cellular data) strongly recommended

  • Staff to facilitate gameplay

• Who Is This For?

  This game ran during a free late-night event at SFMoMa and had over 600 players. Best for ages 16+.
