About this tour
A self-guided walking scavenger hunt through St Kilda that you navigate via smartphone app. You'll solve riddles and clues to unlock each location, moving at your own pace between city highlights and quieter spots. Takes roughly 2 hours but you control the speed — ideal if you want structure without a guide following you, or want to stop for coffee without feeling rushed.

- Explore St Kilda highlights and lesser-known pockets independently
- Use the Explorial app on your phone to unlock each clue

What to expect
Download the Explorial app and start wherever you choose in St Kilda. Each puzzle or riddle directs you to the next location — you'll walk through the neighbourhood solving them in sequence. The app shows you what to look for and provides context about each spot once you arrive. You move at your own tempo, taking breaks or lingering as long as you like.
The whole route typically takes around 2 hours at a steady pace, but you're in control. You can stretch it out, skip ahead, or stop halfway. The experience ends once you've completed the puzzle chain or decide you've had enough.

Good to know
Best for independent explorers, families wanting an interactive walk, or anyone who prefers self-direction over a guided group. Works well if you want to mix sightseeing with a game element. Not suitable if you have spinal injuries or are pregnant. You'll need a smartphone with the app installed and some battery life. The tour uses public streets, so weather and crowds vary by time of day — early morning or late afternoon tends to be quieter. Bring water and wear comfortable walking shoes; the route involves standard urban walking with no extreme terrain.
