If you are looking for a date idea, a girls day out or a family outing with a twist, the AmazingCo Mystery Picnic in Kalamunda is such a fun way to explore the Perth Hills. Rather than simply turning up to one destination, the experience unfolds as you go, with clues and riddles guiding you from one stop to the next. It feels part picnic, part treasure hunt, and it makes the whole day feel a lot more memorable than a standard lunch out.
The adventure begins before you even arrive, with your clues sent to your phone ready for the day. From there, you solve each clue to reveal your next location, collecting different parts of your picnic from local businesses along the way. The mystery element is what really makes this experience stand out. Not knowing where you are heading next adds a sense of excitement, and it is a lovely way to discover little hidden gems you might otherwise drive straight past.
We recently completed the Kalamunda experience and loved how easy it was to follow while still feeling like an adventure. Everything is organised for you, but it never feels overly structured. Instead, it gives you the freedom to enjoy the journey at your own pace while still having the fun of working out each next step together. AmazingCo also includes games, conversation starters and extra points of interest along the way, which adds even more to the overall experience.
Once all the picnic items have been collected, you head to the final picnic location to set everything out and enjoy your spread. There was a great variety of food and it all felt thoughtfully chosen, with that nice balance of feeling special without being fussy. For families, the experience is especially lovely because it gives kids something to do the whole way through. Harvey absolutely loved stopping at each location, picking up his goodies, and having his own lunch and colouring in included as part of the experience.
It is also a great option if you want something that feels different without being difficult to organise. The family mystery picnic in Kalamunda is designed as a self-guided adventure with optional activity stops, generally takes around two to three hours, requires your own car, and offers vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options on most routes. That combination makes it easy to see why these picnics are so popular for couples, friends and families alike.
If you love good food, exploring local spots and doing something a little different, the AmazingCo Mystery Picnic is a really unique Perth experience. Kalamunda is such a charming setting for it too, with plenty of character and lovely scenery to enjoy along the way. It is the kind of outing that feels equal parts relaxed and interactive, and one that leaves you with both full tummies and a few fun memories from the road in between.
