Guest FAQs — Clues & Culture Experiences
What is Clues & Culture?
Clues & Culture is a curated food experience highlighting Black-owned restaurants in Atlanta. Guests follow playful clues, pick up pre-ordered food from multiple spots, and enjoy everything at a picnic location or cozy alternative.
Is this delivery or catering?
No. Clues & Culture is not delivery or catering.
Food is pre-ordered, and guests pick it up directly from each restaurant during a scheduled time window.
Do we eat at the restaurants?
No. This is a pickup-only experience. Food is enjoyed at the designated picnic stop or wherever you're most comfortable.
What should I bring?
We recommend bringing:
- A blanket
- Utensils
- Napkins
- A tote or insulated bag for food
We'll handle the rest.
Where do we eat?
The final stop is typically a park or outdoor picnic area, weather permitting.
If the weather doesn't cooperate, we'll provide:
- An indoor backup location, or
- The option to take food home and enjoy it there
What if it rains or it's cold?
We've incorporated a plan for weather directly into the clues. We are no longer communicating alternatives ahead of time.
Are kids allowed?
Yes, families are welcome! The experience is designed with adults in mind, but kids are absolutely invited along for the fun. Just note that food portions and pacing are tailored for adult guests.
How is food portioned?
Portions vary by restaurant and course. Some items are individually sized, others are meant to be shared. Either way, the full experience is designed to leave you satisfied.
Can I take the food home instead?
Absolutely. If you'd rather enjoy your food at home, that's totally fine.
What about food allergies or dietary restrictions?
Clues & Culture is a curated dining experience with pre-selected menu items at each stop. At this time, we offer two options: a standard route (which may include meat, primarily chicken) and a vegetarian option.
Due to the nature of our rotating restaurant partners and pre-arranged menus, we are unable to accommodate additional dietary restrictions or modifications, including but not limited to gluten-free, vegan, dairy-free, or specific allergies.
If you or anyone in your group has a food allergy or dietary restriction beyond our listed options, we recommend that you use your discretion when booking. While we do our best to partner with restaurants that maintain quality standards, Clues & Culture cannot guarantee allergen-free preparation environments.
How will I receive my clues?
Clues and route details are sent via email before your experience.
Is this self-guided?
Yes. Routes are self-guided but clearly organized so you can move at your own pace.
Do you offer refunds?
All sales are final. Please review our Terms & Conditions for full details.
