The Mystery was how come I had never heard of this

Michael 8 February 2026

When one gets to my age of 73, you think you have a fair idea of what goes on in the world. When my daughter gave us a Mystery Picnic voucher as a present, I thought what's this? However we did it last weekend and what a great day we had in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland. There was 8 location puzzles and we solved 7. The products we obtained from local artisans were just fantastic and made for a fantastic day out.

Hi Michael, so pleased to see you enjoyed your experience, we appreciate the time you have taken to share your feedback!

Mystery Picnic a winner

MIsha Bella 27 January 2026

We chose Mt Tamborine as a location and had the most amazing day. A carefully thought-out scenic trail and itinerary which included a great selection of gourmet foods to pick up along the way for our picnic.

Customer Experience

Hi Misha, thanks so much for your valuable feedback. We are so happy to see you enjoyed your experience.

What a great way to enjoy a day in the Country

Philip 19 November 2025

The mystery picnic is a great way to explore new realms. Having to workout the clues adds to the excitement whether you do them the night before or on the day. There was plenty of food for 2 and a good selection of items.

Hi Philip, thank you for your feedback. We're delighted to hear you enjoyed your experience!

Mystery picnic Mount Tambourine

Sarah 9 November 2025

The mystery picnic was a great way to discover new businesses and the quality of the food was great, there just wasn’t enough of it for two people and we felt we could have got a lot more if we had spent the money at Coles or Woolies. We also didn’t receive one of our item menus from one of the businesses. We ended up buying more items to add to our picnic. It’s not something we would do again.

Customer Experience

Hi Sarah, thanks so much for your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve so I really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience.

A mystery picnic experience

Ken and Jan 26 October 2025

Our long awaited experience finally arrived and we headed to the Sunshine Coast Hinterland to have a day of fun, expectations and share some delicious food. We were away form home for about 5 hours and were able to leisurely enjoy each other's company along with the variety of places visited as well as our lovely picnic. All the services provided happened in a seamlessly manner and our providers happily encouraged us as we progressed through the day. We are very thankful to our 2 daughters for giving us this thoughtful gift and will treasure the memories well into the future. Thank you Red Balloon.

The Mystery Picnic Experience was a lot of fun.

Col 24 September 2025

We enjoyed following the clues to each location. We even got out of the car at one location and walked around the botanic gardens. The collected ingredients were lovely and quite filling. Unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy the proposed Esplanade picnic location as it rained on our parade. So we went and had it at our daughter's house and enjoyed a snooze on her couch afterwards.

Customer Experience

Hi Col, your feedback is valuable to us, and we're happy to know you had a great experience. Thanks for sharing!

Great food

Christine 4 September 2025

Really enjoyable but distances too far for us oldies. Collected from all stops and drove to all pickups and final stop. Must highlight the salad supplied from Botanicarealfood it was the best.

Very enjoyable, relaxing day with great food.

Erica 30 May 2025

We loved the concept of the mystery picnic. Solving the clues was fun and the food exceeded our expectations. The drink selection for people who have not chosen the alcohol option could have been better, e.g. fruit juices. We were greeted with kindness in all of the shops we visited. At the end of it we enjoyed the delicious food with an unbeatable view!
