A experiência

Sobre esta experiência

Step into the winding paths of Homewood Cemetery, where stories rest beneath stone and branches whisper tales of the past. Branches and Bones is a puzzle-filled walking quest through one of Pittsburgh’s most historically rich and surprisingly alive—green spaces.

Uncover forgotten lives, solve nature-based riddles, and piece together a legacy of resilience, invention, and mystery. With each stop, you’ll meet the city’s quiet legends, steel barons, singers, centenarians, and ancient trees that have witnessed it all. This isn’t just a cemetery walk, it’s a living tribute to the people (and plants) who shaped Pittsburgh.

The app guides you on your phone from stop to stop through the cemetery, so you do not need a separate map.

You start at the Homewood Cemetery Entrance and the route is a loop, finishing at the Silver Maple after 13 stops and about 2.4 km. Most players take around 100 minutes including the puzzles, so allow close to two hours.
Is this quest suitable for kids?
It is rated advanced, with puzzles you solve using what is in front of you among the graves and trees. Teens and older children who like a challenge should enjoy it, but younger children may find the riddles hard and the walk of around 100 minutes long.
Do we need to book a time, and can we play as a group?

Can we do it at any time of day?
