Philadelphia Mystery Picnics

History, Riddles and a Picnic

Few cities pack as much history into a short walk as Philadelphia, and a mystery picnic makes the most of it. Part of our Pennsylvania experience gifts and our wider Philadelphia experience gifts, this collection suits anyone looking for picnic spots in Philadelphia with a dose of adventure. Players follow clues past landmarks and hidden corners before the picnic location is finally revealed. It is a relaxed way to see the city at your own pace, with no tour group to keep up with.

Old City and Countryside Trails

Routes run through Old City's historic streets, the riverside town of New Hope and the rolling countryside around Kennett Square. Family versions are made for younger detectives, and an overnight mystery weekend gives couples a proper escape. Make a day of it with one of our Philadelphia food tours before or after. New trails are added from time to time, so there may be a fresh route to explore.

A Picnic for Every Celebration

A mystery picnic is a memorable pick among birthday activities in Philadelphia, a thoughtful wedding gift for newlyweds, and a fun Christmas present for couples who love to explore. Every Giftory gift is sent as an instant e-voucher or in a printed gift box.

When is the best time for a picnic in Philadelphia?

May, June and September bring comfortable temperatures. Spring weekends can be busy in Old City, so a weekday start is often quieter.

Are the routes walkable?

City routes are on foot once you arrive. The New Hope and Kennett Square trails are best reached by car.
