So you think you have the brains it takes to join the prestigious Mindbender Society? Put on your thinking caps, and head to Mindbender Mansion at Imagination Station, beginning on Saturday, January 28. This brand new interactive exhibit is full of 40 challenging brainteasers and five group activities to test your brain power and problem solving skills. Kids and parents alike are sure to enjoy this intricate exhibit, running through April 29.

Visitors are welcome to explore the Mansion's seven rooms--including the Parlor, Library, Kitchen, Map Room, Disco Room, Dining Room, and Rec Room--and four vaults in pursuit of hidden clues and secret passwords. Along the way you will work on manipulating a tilt table, forming patterns in rolling chairs, keeping up with a conveyer belt, maneuvering a flying machine, disco hopscotch spelling and much more!

Your journey begins at the Entry, where you'll meet Mr. E., master brainteaser, puzzle extraordinaire, and current curator of the Mindbender Society. He will help explain the key features to the exhibit, and how to unlock the puzzle to become part of the elite Mindbender Society. All it takes is three correct passwords, and you'll get your picture on the Wall of Fame, and an official Mindbender Society certificate to take home. So bring your math, science and technological know-how to Imagination Station and be one of the first to experience Mindbender Mansion.

Mindbender Mansion is produced and toured by the Oregon Museum of Society and Industry in Portland. For more information, visit www.imaginationstationtoledo.org.
