End of Pheon

What are these Pheon players up to?

Are you a Stave or are you a Knave? Who do you swear allegiance to? American Art's Pheon reveals a hidden world in our museum, full of spies, secrets, and cell phones. It's Capture the Flag, but in a world where art is the holy grail.

This interactive adventure game has been running in the museum and on Facebook since last fall but August 14 is your last chance to play our museum game! In the world of Pheon there is no unbearable summer heat and humidity. So you'll be at your best, testing your skills as you follow the clues around our galleries.

The first 40 people to complete the game will receive a free fake mustache so they can practice their talent for disguise in the real world! Do you have what it takes to go undercover, decipher codes, and locate hidden objects? If so, we’re counting on you. Registration takes place between 2:30 and 4 p.m. in the Luce Foundation Center, on the 3rd floor of the Museum.

We want to continue offering interactive experiences in the museum and online. If you have already played Pheon, please take our survey! Everyone that completes a survey is eligible to receive one of thirty $5 Amazon.com gift cards. Complete this survey if you have played Pheon at the museum, and this one if you have played Pheon on Facebook.
