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.
What's Included
Meeting and pickup
Your game's exact start point is on your voucher: The Drummer Boy's Secret at the National Cemetery (Taneytown Road gate), The Turning Point on South Reynolds Avenue, The Unquiet Field at Sachs Covered Bridge. No check-in - open the link on your phone and begin.
End points vary by game. The Turning Point finishes inside the National Cemetery, and The Unquiet Field finishes next door at Evergreen Cemetery, which is open to respectful visitors in daylight only. The Drummer Boy's Secret finishes on West Confederate Avenue, on the far side of the battlefield.
