Gettysburg Self-Guided Outdoor Mystery Game

$19

Escape the Park turns Gettysburg into a self-guided outdoor mystery played entirely on your phone. Choose one of three games. The Drummer Boy's Secret is a counting mission for junior agents across five monuments. The Turning Point rides the battle in the order it happened, from the woods west of town to the cemetery where Lincoln spoke, and seven engraved words each surrender a letter. The Unquiet Field uses Gettysburg's ghost stories as doors into documented history, from Sachs Covered Bridge to Devil's Den and Little Round Top. Every answer is engraved on a permanent, publicly visible feature - an inscription, a statue, a War Department tablet - so you have to be there to solve it. No guide, no reservation, no set start time. Drive between the stops, walk the last hundred yards, and take as long as you like.
