Old City Philadelphia Self Guided Outdoor Mystery Game

Escape the Park turns Old City Philadelphia into three self-guided outdoor mystery games, played on your own phone with no guide and no fixed schedule. Pick one — you are buying the game you choose, not all three. The Bell's Lost Word is built for junior agents ages 6-12. Count clues hidden on real landmarks and use a Junior Agent Codebook to return the Bell's lost word. The Shadow of Old City is the intermediate game. Gather a letter at eight real landmarks, from Washington Square to Elfreth's Alley to the President's House, and name the shadow that has followed the city since 1776. The Spy Winter goes deepest - play a courier in Major John Clark's spy ring in British-occupied Philadelphia, 1777-78, and decode a cipher hidden in the city's monuments. Each game stands alone and runs 1 to 2 hours at your own pace, on foot. Play one now and save the others for next time. Start anytime and walk the streets the founders walked.
