3 hours (approximately)

Founding Secrets transforms Old City Philadelphia into a living game board—where history isn’t narrated, it’s unlocked.

Instead of passively listening to a guide, guests become active players in a high-stakes, challenge-driven experience. Participants decode cryptic clues, solve historically rooted riddles, and complete creative missions that pull them directly into the stories, tensions, and ambitions that shaped the nation. Every decision earns points, sparks competition, and reveals a deeper layer of Philadelphia’s founding legacy.

This is history through strategy, collaboration, and play—designed to energize visitors, strengthen teams, and challenge leaders to think, move, and solve together. Whether you’re competing with colleagues, friends, or fellow travelers, Founding Secrets delivers a premium experience where discovery feels earned, memorable, and unmistakably bold.
