“Can you tell if it’s ArtiFACT or ArtiFICTION?”
The Okanagan Heritage Museum’s latest exhibition immerses visitors in a trivia board game. This unique way to explore the museum’s artifact collection is sure to leave you surprised, stumped, and smarter. The game isn’t just for history buffs. Questions cover a broad range of topics, from fashion and medicine to music and osteology.
- Different levels of play are available for children.
- The exhibition is a great way for individuals or small groups (social bubbles) to have a fun, safe museum experience. Even if you’re pressed for time you can take the shortcut to play a quick game.
- Submit your game card to enter the monthly prize draw.
