Accidentally Joining a High-End Couples Event with My Bestie ๐ญ๐ญ
Crimes of Passion Museum Another weekend, another "what should we do?" day! ๐โจ I stumbled upon an interactive museum in East Hollywood called "Crimes of Passion" and immediately got curious. The tickets were only sold in pairs ๐๏ธ, so I thought it might be some kind of cooperative game โ perfect for a fun day out with my bestie! The entrance was super hidden โ just a small door with a doorbell ๐. We rang, and a staff member greeted us but asked us to wait outside until the couple ahead finished their first game. While waiting, there was a scavenger hunt activity on a display board, but it required reading lots of English descriptions... so we kinda skipped that part ๐ . The first activity sent us into separate rooms to answer -test questions. Every question referred to the other person as "your partner" and asked about shared memories ๐ง ๐. Thatโs when we realized... this museum is totally designed for couples! And honestly, from start to finish, we didnโt see any other pair of friends โ everyone was a couple LOL! ๐ Next up: a timed challenge with 11 mini-games โณ, and our wrists were handcuffed together! Some tasks required strong English skills, so we skipped a few and focused on the hands-on ones. The time was tight โ we didnโt finish all, but it was still fun! Then we entered the main exhibition area โ a maze-like space with small themed rooms. Each spot had display panels (facts, stories, polls) or interactive games. You could jump into any empty station! A few games that stood out: โก Electric Chair: Real mild electric currents โ intensity 1 to 9. We stopped at 3! But some visitors wrote on the wall they reached max โ respect! ๐ฎ Tarot Cards: Drew past/present/future cards and interpreted them using a guidebook. Surprisingly accurate for me! ๐ Lie Detector: Actually a heart-rate measurer. Not super scientific, but they had fun Q&A prompts to ask each other. ๐งช Lab Station: Super detailed setup! Meant for couples to "sample" each otherโs fingerprints, lip prints, hair, ear shapesโฆ My bestie and I just did our own ๐ . ๐จ Killer Art: Match artworks to criminal profiles. Loved the one with the cute cat ๐ฑ! ๐ Scent Guessing: Blindfolded sniffing โ some wild smells, we guessed zero right! ๐ซ Shooting Range: Staff-supervised, 6 bullets each. I missed all, my bestie hit one! You can keep your target sheet ๐ฏ. Vibes-wise, this place is all about atmosphere and deepening connections. Every corner sparks deep chats โ life stories, opinions, psychology, plus some creepy crime facts. We stayed over 2 hours and skipped some content. If you read everything and play every game, you could easily spend half a day here! Verdict: Super fun but definitely designed for couples. Highly recommend for a unique date idea! ๐โค๏ธ #LosAngelesWeekend #ImmersiveExhibition #LALife #MuseumAdventure #CoupleGoals #FunWithFriends #InteractiveArt #OffbeatLA #WeekendVibes #CaliforniaMuseums
