About this tour
Navigate Melbourne's city centre on foot by solving riddles that unlock each successive landmark. This self-guided walking route chains together the city's key sights—laneways, architecture, public spaces—via an app on your phone. You move at your own rhythm, stopping to decipher clues and discover lesser-known corners between major attractions. Two hours covers the central circuit, though you can stretch it longer if you linger.

What to expect
You'll download the app, start at a designated point, and work through a series of location-based riddles. Each solved clue directs you to the next spot—a laneway, building facade, street corner, or square. You read about the place, snap a photo as proof, and unlock the next puzzle. The experience blends detective work with casual wandering; you're free to take breaks, explore side streets, or linger at cafes. Expect to cover roughly 2–3 kilometres over two hours, depending on puzzle difficulty and your pace.
Good to know
