Riddle Me Adventures offers a unique way for families to explore Hobart through their Mystery Picnics. This self-guided scavenger hunt begins in the city centre, where participants receive a series of clues on their smartphones. Each solved riddle leads to a different local artisan producer to collect delicious gourmet picnic items. The final clue reveals a stunning, secret picnic spot to enjoy the curated Tasmanian feast. It’s a fantastic activity that combines problem-solving, a gentle walk, and the discovery of local flavours, making for a memorable family outing or birthday celebration. **What to Bring** A fully charged smartphone. Comfortable walking shoes. A backpack or cooler bag for your picnic items. Water bottles and a picnic blanket. **Best Age Range** Best for families with children aged 8 and up. The riddles require reading and critical thinking, making it most engaging for older kids and teens who can actively participate in solving the clues. **Good to Know** Bookings are essential and must be made online in advance. The experience is entirely self-guided, allowing you to go at your own pace. Dietary requirements can be catered for with advance notice. The total walking distance is typically between two and four kilometres. **Nearby** Depending on your route, you are close to the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery for a post-picnic dose of culture. The experience often finishes near the waterfront, perfect for a stroll around Constitution Dock to see the boats. **Tips From Other Parents** "Let the older kids take the lead on solving the clues, it really makes them feel like detectives." "Take your time and enjoy the walk; don't rush from one clue to the next." "Pack a small cutting board and knife to make serving your picnic goodies easier at the end."
