We can’t tell you to steal the Declaration of Independence, but you can get your best Benjamin Franklin Gates impression on here. National Treasure Weekend invades Philadelphia’s Historic District for three days of movie-themed fun.
Get the treasure hunt started at Carpenters’ Hall during Heist Night (Thursday & Saturday) as teams link up to crack clues and solve ciphers while searching for a missing piece of history. (Be warned: Independence Historical Trust is watching.)
Meanwhile, guests can sit in on a live taping of the National Treasure Hunt podcast as producer and director Jon Turteltaub tells behind-the-scenes stories from the acclaimed movie franchise (Friday). Fans can also participate in a walking tour of iconic filming sites (Saturday) and a live screening of the original movie (Friday).
Vibe: Your favorite movie jumped off the screen — and now you’re the lead.
