Play Museum Madness Online

Museum Madness came out in 1994 as part of the MS-DOS Classic Games series, developed by Presage Software. It was a time when point-and-click adventures were common, and this one stood out for its educational twist wrapped in a chaotic, interactive setting. You didn't just explore; you fixed history itself, which felt fresh amid a sea of fantasy and sci-fi titles.

You control a student who must restore order to a museum where exhibits have come to life. The main goal is to solve puzzles across different historical eras, from ancient Egypt to the Wild West. Signature mechanics include collecting items to trade with historical figures, like giving Ben Franklin a key for information, and interacting with a malfunctioning help kiosk that offers sarcastic advice. The pacing is methodical, with some puzzles requiring careful observation, but it never feels overly difficult. Playing it gives you the satisfaction of untangling a clever, history-themed mystery.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
