Penn Museum Throwing it Waaay Back By Hosting 90s Game Show Rager

Nostalgia alert! On Wednesday April 20th, the Penn Museum will be answering our personal call to bring back the 90s by organizing their own version of Nickelodeon's Legends of the Hidden Temple. If you happen have no idea what the show is (it originally aired from 1993 to 1995, after all), Legends of the Hidden Temple was a game show based on the Indiana Jones movies, in which pre-teens competed in a series of physical and mental tasks that took place inside a "Mayan temple." Despite some high-key cultural appropriation, the show definitely deserved more than its two-year run, and now the Penn museum is giving it a one-day revival-- but only for adults ;)
But wait, there's more! Bring your fakes, overeager freshmen, because you heard it here first: they're also opening up a cash bar. The museum might be a trek, but it's definitely closer than a downtown. Think of the potential Uber fares you'll save! Tickets are 20 bucks, but the memories you'll make? Priceless.
