Phoenix Mystery Picnics

Clues, Desert Views and a Picnic

The Valley of the Sun is packed with walkable downtowns and scenic day trips, and a mystery picnic is a fresh way to explore them. Part of our Arizona experience gifts and our wider Phoenix experience gifts, this collection is ideal for anyone hunting for picnic spots in Phoenix who wants a little adventure on the way there. Players follow clues through a neighborhood or town, and the route stays secret until it unfolds.

Routes Across the Valley and Beyond

Trails run through Scottsdale, Tempe and historic Prescott, with Sedona's red rocks on the menu for a bigger day out. There is also an overnight mystery weekend for couples who want to stay longer. Browse our full range of mystery picnics if you are planning a trip elsewhere. New routes are added from time to time, so there may be a new trail to discover.

A Date Night With a Difference

A mystery picnic makes a fun anniversary gift, a memorable choice among birthday activities in Phoenix, and a cozy Christmas present for couples who love the outdoors. Every Giftory gift is available as an instant e-voucher or in a printed gift box.

When is the best time for a picnic in Phoenix?

October through April is ideal. In summer, plan an early morning start and bring plenty of water.

Do they need a car?

Some trails are walkable once you arrive, but reaching Sedona or Prescott needs a car, so plan transport for the out-of-town routes.
