Unlock the Secrets of Mindbender Mansion

Enter the wonderfully puzzling world of Mindbender Mansion – the Terry Lee Wells Nevada Discovery Museum’s newest featured exhibition – an eclectic mansion filled with brainteasers and interactive challenges guaranteed to test the brainpower and problem-solving skills of even the most experienced puzzlers. 

Visitors to this fun and quirky mansion are invited to join the Mindbender Society by gathering hidden clues and secret passwords scattered throughout the various thematic rooms. The clues and passwords are revealed by solving select brainteasers and group challenges. Tasks such as balancing a tilt table, racing against a conveyor belt, or piloting a "spaceship" will put both wits and teamwork to the test. The path to the Mindbender Society awaits those clever enough to conquer the mansion’s mysteries. 

Adults, families, and children alike will enjoy exercising their minds as they try to master each of the individual brainteasers and group activities in this fun and unconventional mansion. 

Mindbender Mansion is only a portion of what The Discovery has to offer its visitors. The museum also boasts more than 60,000 square feet of permanent exhibitions that range from human anatomy to renewable energy, to the interests of Leonardo da Vinci.
