What a fantastic way to spend a day! The mystery picnic was full of surprises, from the interactive clues that got us all thinking and working together, to the delicious picnic spread sourced from local gems. It was the perfect combination of outdoor fun, mental challenge, and family time. Our kids are already asking when we can do it again.

The family mystery picnic exceeded our expectations! It was well-organized, with each clue leading us seamlessly to the next location and a variety of tasty treats. The clues were just right for a range of ages, making everyone feel involved. The highlight for us was discovering new spots in our area that we've since revisited. An excellent, fun-filled activity that offers more than just a day out—it's an adventure that keeps on giving!

Highly recommended for families looking to spice up their weekend with adventure and bonding.
