Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the Founding Secrets scavenger hunt?

A: There's no strict age limit, but it's best suited for ages 12 and up since the challenges can be a bit tricky. Younger kids might need a lot of help from adults to decode clues and complete tasks. For teens, it’s super engaging, especially if they like games and puzzles!

Q: What should we wear for the scavenger hunt? Is it outside?

A: Definitely dress comfortably since you'll be walking around Old City for a while! Wear sneakers or good walking shoes—no heels! It's mostly outside, so check the weather ahead of time. Layering is a good idea since it can get windy near the river!

Q: Can we reschedule if something comes up? How does that work?

A: Yes, you can reschedule the scavenger hunt! Just reach out to Antigua Concierge at least 48 hours before your booked time. They’re pretty flexible, but it’s always good to give them a heads up to secure another date that works for you.

Just did the Founding Secrets scavenger hunt—SO much fun!

I went with a group of friends last weekend, and it was a blast! We started near the Liberty Bell and worked our way through different historic sites. The clues were clever and really got us thinking. We even learned some cool trivia I’d never heard before. Totally worth it if you’re looking for a unique Philly experience!

Thinking of gifting the Founding Secrets experience—any tips?

I’m considering this scavenger hunt for my brother's birthday. He loves history and games. Do you think it’s a good fit? Also, does anyone know if it’s better for small groups or bigger ones? Any tips would be super helpful!
