For friends, double dates & good company
Solve clues, explore somewhere new, collect your picnic along the way and turn a catch-up into a few hours of shared discoveries, food and fun.
A lunch date with a fun twist
Mystery Picnics, a new and novel way to spend a day with those you care about.
Explore new places and maybe even new foods on a Mystery Picnic in a location that checks all the boxes. You get clues to solve and local food stops to discover. You bring the practical picnic utensils but everything else is organised for you.
An entertaining way for old friends who have plenty to catch up on, any friends that are looking for something new and fun to do, siblings, double dates or four people who simply fancy a different kind of day out. The clues create natural little moments to think, debate, laugh about as you find your way to the shops that will provide you with your picnic fare.
The route is planned, but the pace is yours. Use a hint if you need one, stop for a drink, linger somewhere interesting and enjoy the fact that for once the group chat has actually turned into a real day together.
Why it works with friends
The clues, wrong guesses, surprising discoveries and fun 'a-ha' and 'found it!' moments give you more to talk and laugh about long after the day is over.
The route, clues and food stops are all organised before you set off, meaning you are left free to enjoyably anticipate rather than worry about planning your day.
Find local stops, streets and corners you might otherwise have missed - even in places you think you already know.
Stop for coffee, browse somewhere interesting or sit a little longer. The experience is self-guided, so the pace belongs to you.
An excuse to get together
Good friends to spend a special day with is good reason enough.
A quality catch-up
Spend a few hours walking, talking, laughing, solving and eating rather than wishing you had more time for the people you care most about.
A double date
The clues give all four of you a shared mission and the day has enough going on that everyone can have some fun or their moment in the spotlight.
A celebration
Birthdays, reunions and long-overdue meet-ups all work nicely when the activity, food and exploring are already rolled into the plan.
Your day together
The picnic is only part of it. Before you sit down to eat, the clues lead your group through the location and towards each part of the food collection.
Choose the Mystery Picnic destination that suits the kind of day your group has in mind.
Open the clue, debate the answer, use a hint or even give in and get the answer revealed if you need it.
Visit local food stops and gather the different parts of your picnic as you make your way around.
Settle down together, unpack what you collected and enjoy the easiest clue of the day. Eat the food.
Choose where to meet
Pick somewhere convenient for everyone, choose a city you have been meaning to visit, or use a Mystery Picnic as the excuse to rediscover somewhere familiar together.
