About this tour
A 2-hour puzzle hunt combining escape room gameplay with urban exploration around Sydney Harbour. You'll search for real-world clues hidden in landmarks, murals and public spaces, solve codes using a mobile app, and navigate the neighbourhood as you progress through a storyline. Difficulty adjusts to your preference—take hints as needed or work through puzzles independently. Early bookings receive a game kit by mail; same-day bookings collect theirs at the start point.

What to expect
You'll start at a designated location (sent to you after booking) with a physical game box containing puzzles, clues and a lockbox. Using the mobile app, you scan QR codes to access hints, follow the storyline, and submit puzzle solutions. As you crack each code, the app directs you to your next location around Sydney Harbour. You'll move between outdoor spots—parks, public artworks, significant buildings—searching for clues embedded in your surroundings. The pace depends on how quickly you solve puzzles and how much time you spend exploring nearby. After roughly two hours, you'll complete the storyline and wrap up at or near your final location.

Good to know
This works well for groups after a different kind of outing—families, friends, team-builders—who enjoy problem-solving and don't mind walking around an urban area. Expect to cover ground outdoors over two hours, so wear comfortable shoes; there's no significant fitness demand, but you'll be on your feet. All pathways and facilities are wheelchair accessible. Bookings made a week ahead arrive by post; plan accordingly if ordering late. Food and drink stops are optional and not included. Check the weather—it's an outdoor experience. Groups can work through puzzles together and adjust difficulty on the fly.
