App Description

The companion app for the exhibition "The Power of Poison" (open through August 10, 2014) allows you to solve cases of accidental poisoning.

Investigations take you from a backyard to a 1700s ship to track toxic creatures, environmental hazards, and more.

Each case of accidental poisoning includes animations and a mystery to unravel.

Three different cases, 18 suspects. As you find and examine each clue, you'll learn about
• poisonous animals in the U.S. and around the world
• what common items have the potential to poison
• how different toxins and dosages affect different species
