From March 23rd to April 6th, 2025, I’m hiding three pieces of cutlery across the city to help Visit Philadelphia celebrate The Chef Conference. Each Sunday, I’m posting a puzzle that provides clues to the location of a utensil, and the first person to find it wins a prize! The solution and winner aren’t be revealed until 24 hours later, so you won’t know if the utensil has been claimed unless you go out and look for it yourself…
Where: Puzzle videos are posted on TikTok and Instagram Reels. Cutlery is hidden within Philadelphia city limits.
When: • 10am on 3/23/25: Can You Find The Fork? | STATUS: FOUND • 10am on 3/30/25: Will You Spot The Spoon? | STATUS: FOUND • 10am on 4/6/25: Do You Know Where The Knife Is? | STATUS: INACTIVE Tap the countdown timers posted on my Instagram Story to be reminded when the videos are posted!

Price: Free!
Rules: • Each Puzzler may claim no more than one piece of cutlery. • Do not trespass or violate any laws while looking for cutlery. • By participating in Cutlery To Philly, you assume all associated risks and agree not to hold Eric The Puzzler or Visit Philadelphia responsible for any liability that results from your participation.
How to participate: When a Cutlery To Philly video drops, solve its puzzle and go find the utensil! To officially claim victory and win the associated prize, you must send me a selfie while holding up the piece of cutlery. Please note: unlike with Keys To Philly, I will not be announcing a winner as soon as the utensil is found.
