Constitution Code at National Archives Museum

Constitution & Government Adventure Pack

Inside the secure vaults of the National Archives Museum, the foundation of government is at risk.

The Preamble is missing key phrases. Amendments are out of order. The balance between branches of government is shifting in unexpected ways. Ari Raider has detected a disruption in the structure of democracy and needs explorers to restore the system before the framework of government becomes unstable.

In Constitution Code at National Archives Museum, students are dropped into one of the most important document archives in the United States on a high-stakes civics mission. By learning how the Constitution organizes government, how checks and balances prevent abuse of power, and how rights are protected through amendments, explorers must reconstruct the system and secure the foundation of democracy.

This adventure blends American civics with story, exploration, and optional hands-on discovery.
