Full description

Nestled at the edge of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Helen offers a taste of Europe with its half-timbered buildings, cobblestone streets, and vibrant Bavarian charm. On this self-guided mystery weekend, you’ll solve interactive clues on your phone that lead you through town and nature to collect picnic goodies from local vendors. Each riddle solved brings you closer to a breathtaking picnic location—maybe beside a waterfall, along the river, or tucked into a forested overlook. After your outdoor feast, settle in for the night at a handpicked 1-night stay in accommodations that match the whimsical and cozy vibe of Helen.
