Escape the Park turns Valley Forge National Historical Park 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. Washington's Secret Soldiers is built for junior agents ages 6-12. Using a secret Spy Codebook, they crack messages left by Revolutionary War spies at five real landmarks to deliver Washington's lost battle order. Lafayette's Dispatch is the intermediate game. Play the Marquis de Lafayette, gather a letter at each monument across the encampment, and send the dispatch that brings France into the Revolution. The Mystic Tie goes deepest, tracing the Freemason bonds among Washington's officers to decode the brotherhood's hidden word. Each game stands alone and runs 1.5 to 2.5 hours at your own pace, on foot or by car. Play one now and save the others for next time, or make a full day of it. Start anytime, play as a group, and bring the Revolution to life.

Engaging, Interesting Historic Tour

Nick was a fantastic tour guide! We learned a lot of interesting things, and he was engaging, very knowledgeable, and entertaining but not kitschy. He gave us a great overview of the historical sites in Old City, and it helped us narrow down what we wanted to explore in more detail. Highly recommend this tour with Nick!

Dan_M, Oct 2026

Fantastic tour with fantastic history

Josh gave a fantastic tour of some iconic philly sites, as well as some deep insights into the founding of the United States and the lesser-known founding father of Robert Morris. Highly entertaining and exceedingly knowledgeable, I'd rank him among the top tour guides I've ever bore witness to.

What a wonderful morning....

What a wonderful morning. Joe was our driver . He is a native of Philadelphia which was a big plus in a tour like this. It wound up that it was just the two of us. Told him to let us know if we wanted to stop anywhere..it was raining so we didn’t really get out anywhere. Except for a store in the 9th Avenue Italian market where I needed to pick something up Joe was a wealth of information. Friendly, funnny, definitely recommend him if booking this tour

Dark Philly Adult Night Tour

London, Oct 2026

Not your grandma’s tour

My family and I take a ghost/dark history tour everywhere we travel and our tour with Ted was my favorite so far! He is tremendously knowledgeable and passionate about history in a way that’s contagious. You can’t help but be just as excited and eager for the next stop. Ted was full of fascinating anecdotes and stories you’d never hear on another tour and delivers a ton of history in a way that was never dull or overwhelming. I’d say the only thing to note is that Ted does use a lot of swear words so if you’re sensitive to that, maybe not your thing. And is it a longer tour with several stops (though Ted has thoughtfully planned spots where people can have a seat), so just be ready to get a few steps in on the funnest, funniest, most informative tour I’ve been on!

Fun relaxing tour

Fun tour. The weather was perfect with a slight breeze. I think our guide’s names was Deckland. He was easy going, funny, and informative. Got to go all around the city. Helped us decide where to explore further the rest of the trip. Got to get out and take pictures if we wanted. Ride was very smooth; only a little bumpy on the few cobblestone parts which was fun. Would definitely recommend early in trip to scout out places go.

Brittni is an awesome guide!

The tour was exceptional from start to finish. It was so educational and fun learning about the Amish way of life, their culture, interacting with their animals, trying some delicious, and most of all seeing some jaw-droppingly beautiful quilts since that's where my passion lies. Brittni is one of the best guides I've experienced, and I appreciate her extensive knowledge and close relationships with the Amish folk. Her positivity is infectious, and she has a real passion for sharing her knowledge with her tour guests.
