The Mega-Mystery Experience

A puzzling adventure through one visionary’s 30-year career in public art, from Meg Saligman Studios and Eric the Puzzler, hosted by Ministry of Awe.

From large-scale public art to mega-scale public art. From Meg’s most influential projects to Meg's most influential creations.

World-renowned artist Meg Saligman has been at the forefront of public art since 1995 in Philadelphia, the world's mural capital. Now, Saligman and Eric the Puzzler invite you to explore her real, working studio space and go behind the scenes to see how Philadelphia's most iconic murals were created.

But take note: this is no ordinary open studio visit. It’s a cooperative puzzle adventure that plunges you into Saligman's storied career in large-scale public art.

By piecing together archival materials from Meg’s most influential projects, you’ll discover clues that guide you throughout her studio in the historic SugarMom's bar in Old City, Philadelphia. Will you and your teammates reach the surreal conclusion and unlock the next phase of Meg’s creative career? Perhaps you’ve been a part of it the entire time...
