1. What sparked the idea for your Mystery Picnic experiences?

The inspiration behind our Mystery Picnics originated from a personal experience shared by two of AmazingCo's co-founders, Jeremy and Silvia. They found themselves with the common challenge of planning a day out in a local region but struggling to decide where to go. This sparked an idea: to create an experience that eliminates the stress of planning and adds an element of surprise.

2. What sets your Mystery Picnics apart from traditional picnic experiences?

Imagine a picnic that goes beyond the ordinary – that's exactly what the AmazingCo Mystery Picnic offers. Instead of the usual static setting, you’ll solve clues and puzzles to uncover your next destination. It's not just about laying out a blanket; it's about decoding the day's adventure and getting to know each other better along the way. The element of surprise is at the heart of our Mystery Picnic.

But Mystery Picnics are not just about having fun, they also have a purpose. By introducing you to small businesses, we not only showcase the region but also support and engage with the local community. This adds a meaningful and connected touch to the picnic experience. It’s more than just a leisurely outing, it’s a way to immerse yourself in a vibrant neighborhood!

3. Can you walk us through what a typical Mystery Picnic experience looks like?

Absolutely! Guests receive their gameplay email usually 24-48 hours before their picnic. This gives them plenty of time to access the clues that will guide them through the day, all easily accessible on their cell phone. 

Working together, they’ll solve clues and puzzles throughout the day. At each destination they’ll either pick up local food and drinks or enjoy an iconic sightseeing spot. This interactive layer sets our Mystery Picnics apart from the usual picnic setting.

4. How do you ensure that each Mystery Picnic is tailor-made to fit the unique tastes and preferences of your customers?

We ask customers a few questions to get to know them and their picnic party. We use this information to customize their picnic, whether they’re celebrating something special or simply noting their specific dietary requirements. After all, the Mystery Picnic is all about creating memorable moments and getting to know each other better.

With multiple Mystery Picnic locations across the USA, it’s a perfect way to spend the day exploring your local area or somewhere new.
