A celebrated entrepreneur has arrived in Eugene with a bold claim: they have developed a revolutionary artificial intelligence system capable of transforming the future of forensic science.

To unveil this breakthrough, they have chosen the Eugene Science Center as the site of its first public demonstration. But before the evening is over, something goes wrong.

Months later, the case remains unsolved. Fortunately, advances in forensic technology have allowed old evidence to be reexamined, witnesses to be reinterviewed, and forgotten clues to be brought back to light.

As one of the last people to encounter the victim, you have been recruited to assist with the investigation in hopes of solving the case.

Science Uncensored: Crime Lab combines interactive science exhibits, immersive storytelling, and hands-on forensic investigation into a one-of-a-kind adults-only experience at  Eugene Science Center. 

Analyze fingerprints, toxicology reports, digital records, skeletal remains, and other forensic clues as you work to reconstruct the events of that fateful night. As you interview suspects and examine the evidence, you will separate the fact from the fiction as you build your case to uncover what really happened. 

Have you ever watched shows like C.S.I. or Criminal Minds and thought “I could do that” or “Is that really how that works?” Now’s your chance to find out! 

Content Advisory 
Science Uncensored: Crime Lab is an interactive forensic science experience where participants become part of a fictional cold-case investigation.
The event includes:
  • Themes of homicide, missing persons, and criminal investigations
  • Discussions of toxicology, alcohol use, and prescription medication
  • Replicas of human skeletal remains
  • Simulated crime scene evidence, including limited theatrical blood effects
  • Loud sounds, dark environments, and special lighting effects when seated within the planetarium

No graphic gore, realistic injury depictions, physical touch, or extreme horror elements are used. 

  • All criminal scenarios, suspects, and investigative materials are fictional and created for educational and entertainment purposes.
  • Participants may encounter actors portraying suspects, witnesses, and other characters. Some characters may provide incomplete, misleading, or conflicting information as part of the mystery experience.
  • Participation in interviews, activities, and investigations is always optional. Guests may leave any activity or station at any time.
  • Clearly identified staff will be available throughout the venue to answer questions, provide support, and assist anyone who would like a break from the experience.
