What to expect
You'll start with a clue sent to your device. Find the location, answer the question correctly, and your phone feeds you the next puzzle. Some require local knowledge, others reward curiosity—feel free to Google if needed. You'll cover varied ground across the CBD and inner neighbourhoods, moving between each checkpoint on foot. The trail mixes obvious sights with quirky finds, keeping you alert rather than passively following a tour group. Pacing is entirely yours; some finishers do it faster, others linger at cafes mid-route.
Good to know
Bring a charged phone and comfortable walking shoes. The route assumes basic familiarity with central Melbourne but works for newcomers too. Prams and strollers are fine; service animals welcome. Not suitable if you have heart or breathing concerns. Public transport stops are nearby if you need to bail early.
