What Museum Hack sells, and how KraftyLab differs

Museum Hack started in 2013 with unconventional public tours of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and is based in New York. Its guides lead story-driven tours with games, group photos and optional wine. For companies it sells team building tours, museum scavenger hunts, a holiday scavenger hunt at the Met, Women in Leadership tours and storytelling workshops, and it consults for museums.

For hosted virtual events, Museum Hack's own pages send readers to sister companies: its remote team list ranks its sister company TeamBuilding (teambuilding.com) first, and its holiday guide says it runs hosted virtual holiday parties through a sister company, Virtual Holiday Party. We compare that marketplace in KraftyLab vs teambuilding.com.

With KraftyLab you book every event, virtual or in person, in one place, and one planner answers for the whole thing. Remote staff join from home, office staff gather around a screen, and the same live host runs the hour for everyone.
