Are you ready to travel through time and experience Hamilton’s history in a whole new way?

The Bard and Bear Games Cafe is back with another mystery experience!

This year’s clue-finding, puzzle-solving event centers around the Made in Hamilton exhibition, which features a wide variety of items from Glen Faulman’s remarkable collection that are all made right here in Hamilton.

Join us as we relive the excitement of Hamilton’s Great Industrial Expositions — but beware, for you won’t be the only time traveler in attendance…

Accessibility Note: This event will require participants to do a fair amount of moving around the gallery and exhibitions. The room that the event runs out of has a few steps up to the entrance and a staircase within — if stairs present a barrier for participating, please contact us with the date and time you’re interested in attending, and we’ll see if a stair-free alternate can be arranged for that run.
