About this tour
Crack a crime case while exploring Brisbane's CBD in this app-based detective game. Starting at Queens Gardens, you'll decode ciphers and hunt for clues across 10–14 short missions, piecing together suspect details from landmarks around you. The self-guided format means you move at your own pace over roughly 2–3 km of city streets, taking breaks at cafes if needed. Expect to finish in 90–120 minutes with a final score reveal back near your starting point.

- Branch narrative: your choices shape the investigation path
- Start and pause whenever—no fixed schedule or group times
- Beginner-friendly gameplay, intermediate puzzle difficulty

What to expect
Load the app at Queens Gardens and receive your case brief within minutes. You'll then move through the CBD tackling a sequence of short puzzles: some ask you to read details off facades, others present ciphers to unravel. The gameplay encourages you to pick your own route between checkpoints, so the same mystery plays out differently depending on the story branches you select. Most teams complete it in around two hours, though you're free to dawdle at a café or revisit a location without penalty. Finish back near Queens Gardens, where the app calculates your team score and offers a debrief.
Good to know
Bring a fully charged smartphone with mobile internet. You'll walk mostly on flat city pavements but cover roughly 2–3 km, so wear comfortable shoes. Not suitable for people with restricted mobility. Service animals are welcome. Nearby public transport links are available if you need them.
