Mindbender Mansion

Mindbender Mansion at The Discovery in downtown Reno, Nevada

Enter the wonderfully puzzling world of Mindbender Mansion, 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. Group activities that require assistance from fellow mansion guests include manipulating a tilt table, keeping up with a conveyor belt, and maneuvering a “spaceship,” just to name a few.

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 included with museum admission and will be on exhibit at The Discovery through April 2025.
