Puzzles & Riddles Trail
Find the giant puzzle pieces hidden around the museum. Choose your trail level – the simpler ‘I spy’, or take on the extra challenge of solving riddles and cracking the final code! Enter our summer prize draw too.
This event is part of the museum’s ‘Step into the Game’ summer holidays to link with the immersive Trivial Pursuit trail in Leeds city centre. You can find the Trivial Pursuit hub in the central hall of the museum throughout the summer.
