It’s hard to spend any time on the Internet, or even watch the news, without hearing about the newest craze, Pokémon Go. It seems to have quickly become incredibly popular. Well, despite three of our staff members trying to explain it to me, I still don’t understand what it is or how it works. I guess I’m just from the wrong generation! But I’ve been told that there are Pokémon, gyms, and PokéStops all over the Creation Museum. We’ve even had non-Christian guests come to the museum chasing these PokéStops.

I did a Facebook Live broadcast as three staff members tried to show me how to play Pokémon Go. While we walked around the Creation Museum entrance and the bookstore, we captured several Pokémon—or at least I tried to. I was told they could be found all over the museum’s gardens and in different places throughout the museum. You can view that video here:
