Depending on the Security Office card you are playing with, you may also be able to scout the halls ahead of revealing them, but I’ve personally never used the mechanics like this. Each of the halls has some sort of negative impact on your actions at that location meaning there is a nice bit of variety baked into the scenario. The Main hall is connected to each exhibit, so you can investigate at your leisure from this location. From the Museum Hall you can spend clues as a group to put an Exhibit Hall location into play, and can then fan out into the museum to find what you need.

Having organised a location deck during setup, you need to dig through it to find out where to go, for the Restricted Hall. Whichever way you break in, when you get to the main halls your task is to find where the Necronomicon is being displayed. Breaking in means you get to the Halls quicker and the man is still alive! That’s a nice little storytelling quandry. Although getting in the legal way comes with benefits, one of the nice things about the scenario is that doing so effectively costs the curator his life. The Act you move to will be determined by whether you broke in or not and also whether or not you are wandering round with a security guard in tow. Whichever choice you make you get inside the Museum and immediately set about your task. Arriving at the museum late in the day you are immediately presented with two choices: politely look for a way in, advancing the Act card, or smash your way in, to find yourself in the Museum Halls. Please do not read on if you have not played the scenario in the title yet.Īfter the events of the ‘House Always Wins’ and ‘Extracurricular Activity’ the investigators are pointed towards an ancient tome residing in the collection of the ‘ Miskatonic Museum’. These articles will contain extensive spoilers and assume a familiarity with the terms and mechanics of the game. These will be my impressions after playing through the scenario at least once and will be focusing on the mechanics and how those reinforce the story elements of a given scenario.

This is a series of articles looking at the individual scenarios of Arkham Horror, starting with the Dunwich Legacy expansion.
